Industrialist Anand Mahindra recalled the advice of former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam after shares of Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Limited touched a new 52-week high of Rs 1,006.7, on Monday. In a tweet, Mahindra narrated how Dr Kalam’s advice had helped him in keeping his team motivated after the slump in the company’s share prices in 2019. “In 2019, M&M’s share price had fallen sharply from its all-time high of Rs 984,” Mahindra tweeted while adding that he had used Dr Kalam’s advice during the company’s annual leadership conference of that year.
Mahindra wrote that Dr Kalam, while inaugurating the Mahindra Research Valley in 2012, had asked him to “Take the Hill, i.e, dare to dream.”
Anand Mahindra asked his team to ‘take the hill’ after the 2019 share slump and set the target of getting the prices back up by the 75th anniversary of Mahindra and Mahindra. While the deadline was initially missed, a year later, Mahindra & Mahindra’s shares touched an all-time high on Monday.
Congratulating his team on the feat, the billionaire lauded Mahindra Group’s MD & CEO Anish Shah and Mahindra Auto’s Executive Director- Rajesh Jejurikar, for taking the company to the hill again.
The deadline of the 75th anniversary was missed. But by only a year.The new leadership team took up the baton & today our stock closed at the round number of ₹1000-a new high. I thank & salute @anishshah21 & @rajesh664 & all their colleagues who have ‘Taken the Hill’ again (3/3 pic.twitter.com/X5WaCil8CH
