Mahindra is taking special initiatives to emotionally connect with the young and nextgen of transporters and MPOWER is one such step. Other initiatives include Mahindra Transport Excellence Awards and Outperformers’ League and Youth Transport Personality Awards being one more such step.
The first round of MPOWER was a huge success not only in terms of an emotional connect with the nextgen of transporters but also in terms of bringing our business and offerings in their focus and also helping start a business relation with many of the people who attended. This successful engagement has motivated us to reinvest in driving a positive change in the transport ecosystem while nurturing our business interest.
We strive to make this program a grand success while it strengthens our brand even further, along with other initiatives like the Mahindra Transport Excellence Awards and Outperformers’ League.
With such initiatives Mahindra is also leveraging to build a strong market presence for Mahindra Trucks and Buses.
