Anand Mahindra shared that he will be gifting an electric car to the parents of Praggnanandhaa. Since he posted the tweet, it has caught the attention of many people.
It all started when several people on X (formerly Twitter) urged Anand Mahindra to gift Thar to Praggnanandhaa. So, he replied to one of those tweets and wrote, "Appreciate your sentiment, Krishlay, and many, like you, have been urging me to gift a Thar to @rpragchess. But I have another idea. I would like to encourage parents to introduce their children to chess and support them as they pursue this cerebral game (despite the surge in popularity of video games!) It's an investment in a better future for our planet, just like EVs. And so, I think we should gift an XUV4OO EV to the parents of @rpragchess, Shrimati Nagalakshmi, and Shri Rameshbabu, who deserve our gratitude for nurturing their son's passion and for giving him their untiring support."
At the end of the tweet, Anand Mahindra also tagged Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO at Mahindra & Mahindra, and asked him to share his thoughts on it. (Also Read: Anand Mahindra praises Praggnanandhaa’s journey in FIDE World Cup)
In his response, Jejurikar wrote, "Congratulations @rpragchess for your spectacular achievement. Thanks, @anandmahindra, for the idea of recognising the parents of @rpragchess Shrimati Nagalakshmi and Shri Rameshbabu. The All-Electric SUV XUV400 would be perfect- our team will connect for a special edition and delivery."
