Helps you choose the right car for you Recommend Me a Car Mahindra Group is a multinational conglomerate company in India, with operations in the automotive, farm equipment, financial services, trade and logistics, automotive components, after-market, IT and infrastructure sectors. It is considered to be one of the most reputable Indian industrial houses,[3] with the market leadership in utility vehicles[4] as well as tractors in India. The Mahindra Group has a global presence with operations on every continent except Antarctica.[5] Its headquarters are located at Mahindra Towers in Mumbai.

Following the Partition of India in 1947, Ghulam Mohammad left the company and emigrated to Pakistan, becoming the first finance minister of the new state. In 1948, KC Mahindra changed the name to Mahindra & Mahindra, and building on his expertise in the steel industry began trading steel with UK suppliers. By 1956, the company was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and by 1969 the company had entered the world market as an exporter of utility vehicles and spare parts.[6] Due to the restrictions of the Licence Raj, Mahindra & Mahindra like many Indian companies was forced to expand into other businesses, creating a tractor division in 1982 and a tech division (now Tech Mahindra) in 1986. It has continued to diversify its operations ever since through both joint ventures and greenfield investments.[7] By 1994 the structure of the group had become so bloated and the group so diverse that a fundamental reorganization of the company was undertaken, dividing the group into six Strategic Business Units: Automotive; Farm Equipment; Infrastructure; Trade and Financial Services; Information Technology and Automotive Components (Systech).[8] The new Managing Director Anand Mahindra followed this reorganization with a new logo in 2000 and the successful launch of the Mahindra Scorpio (a wholly indigenously designed vehicle) in 2002. In conjunction with an overhaul in production and manufacturing methods these changes did much to make the company more competitive,[9] and since then the reputation and revenues of the group have risen noticeably. The US-based Reputation Institute recently ranked Mahindra among the top 10 Indian companies in its 'Global 200: The World's Best Corporate Reputations' list. As of 2007 it was also ranked one of India’s 40 largest companies.[10] The Mahindra Group recently acquired the troubled IT services provider Satyam for approximately $422 million.[11] It plans to eventually merge the company with Tech Mahindra.[12] [edit] Core Business Activities • Automotive & Farm Equipment Mahindra & Mahindra Limited • • • • • • Automotive Sector Jiangling Tractors Mahindra Tractors Mahindra Gujarat Mahindra First Choice Mahindra Shubhlabh Services Ltd. • Mahindra Engineering Services • • Exports Mahindra Engineering Design & Development Co Ltd. • Mahindra Systech (Automotive Components & Manufacturing) • Mahindra Composites Ltd. • • • • • • • • • Mahindra Sona Ltd.

It is considered to be an active participant in the Indian Corporate Social Responsibility field and received the Pegasus Award for CSR in 2007.[18] Mahindra engages in philanthropy primarily through the K.C. Mahindra Trust, which serves as the CSR arm of the group (although Tech Mahindra does have its own CSR arm).[19] Founded in 1953 by K.C Mahindra, the trust focuses primarily on fostering Literacy in India and promoting Higher Learning.[20] Mahindra operates several vocational schools and a midday meal kitchen (for 25,000) to that end, as well as the Mahindra United World College. The KC Mahindra Trust’s primary project however is Project Nanhi Kali, which targets the education of young Indian girls.[21] The foundation currently supports the education of approximately 51000 underprivileged girls.[22] Other initiatives include Mahindra Hariyali (a 1 million tree planting campaign)[21] as well as sponsorship of the Lifeline Express, a mobile hospital train. Mahindra employees also participate directly in social programs of their own choosing (approximately 14,000 did so as of 2008) through Mahindra’s Employee Social Options Plans.[23] The Mahindra Group was responsible for the creation of Mahindra United World College, a UWC campus located in Pune. Mahindra also runs its own football team, Mahindra United. They were the National Football League (India) Champions 2005-2006. The team is based in Mumbai.
