Changes Proposed

Draft

Mahindra Group Company type Private Industry Federation Founded 1945 Founder Jagdish Chandra Mahindra Kailash Chandra Mahindra Malik Ghulam Muhammad Headquarters Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Area served Worldwide Key people Anand Mahindra (Chairman & MD) Keshub Mahindra (Chairman emeritus) Revenue US$17.8 billion (2016) Net income US$373 million (2009) Number of employees 200,000 (2015) Website www.mahindra.com The Mahindra Group is an Indian federation of companies headquartered at Mahindra Towers in Mumbai, India, with operations in over 100 countries around the globe. The group has a presence in aerospace, agribusiness, aftermarket, automotive, components, construction equipment, defence, energy, farm equipment, finance and insurance, industrial equipment, information technology, leisure and hospitality, logistics, real estate, retail, and two wheelers. It is considered to be one of the most reputable Indian industrial houses with market leadership in utility vehicles as well as tractors in India. History Mahindra & Mohammed was incorporated in 1945 by the brothers J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra and Malik Ghulam Muhammad in Ludhiana, Punjab to trade steel. Following the Partition of India in 1947, Malik Ghulam Muhammad left the company and emigrated to Pakistan where he became the first finance minister of the new state (and later the third Governor General in 1951). In 1948, K.C. Mahindra changed the company's name to Mahindra & Mahindra. Building on their expertise in the steel industry, the Mahindra brothers began trading steel with UK suppliers. They also won a contract to manufacture Willys Jeeps in India and began producing them in 1947. 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. Like many Indian companies, Mahindra responded to the restrictions of the Licence Raj by expanding into other industries. Mahindra & Mahindra created 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. By 1994, the Group had become so diverse that it undertook a fundamental reorganization, dividing into six Strategic Business Units: Automotive; Farm Equipment; Infrastructure; Trade and Financial Services; Information Technology; and Automotive Components (known internally as Systech). 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. Together with an overhaul in production and manufacturing methods, these changes helped make the company more competitive, and since then the Group's reputation and revenues have risen noticeably. Currently, Mahindra & Mahindra is one of the 20 largest companies in India In 2009, Forbes ranked Mahindra among the top 200 most reputable companies in the world. Rise In January 2011, the Mahindra Group repositioned the Mahindra brand under the idea of Rise with an intent to unify Mahindra's image across industries, geographies and identities.

Hence, The Mahindra Group has been extensively involved in philanthropy and volunteering. It is considered an active participant in the Indian Corporate Social Responsibility field and also received the Pegasus Award for CSR in 2007. In 2014, Mahindra & Mahindra also topped the CSR list in India in a joint study by IIM Udaipur and Economic Times People In more than 100 countries around the world, Mahindra fosters an environment of innovation and self-belief that empowers its employees to chase their passions. Through a variety of initiatives, they are enabling ‘Mahindraites’ to have fulfilling careers and contribute to society by volunteering both their time and resources Community Project Nanhi Kali was initiated in 1996 by the K. C. Mahindra Education Trust (KCMET) with the aim of providing primary education to underprivileged girl children in India. Anand Mahindra, the current chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., founded Project Nanhi Kali. with a strong belief that educated women would not only contribute to the economy but also issues of population and social evils like the dowry system and child marriage would reduce as more women are educated. Studies conducted in developing countries have shown that this is true. Today, even the World Bank has acknowledged that there is no investment more effective for achieving the millennium development goals than educating girls."According to the World Bank, some of the benefits associated with girls' education include reduction of child and maternal mortality, improvement of child nutrition and health, lower fertility rates and improvement in economic production". Apart from the objective of impacting the nation's development through education of the girl child, Anand Mahindra also wanted to encourage Indians to ’give back’ in a focused manner. Hence Project Nanhi Kali was designed as a sponsorship support programme which allows individuals to participate and support the education of a girl child in India. Since 2005, Project Nanhi Kali is jointly managed by the K. C. Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi Foundation.The project provides academic, material and social support that allows a girl child to access quality education, attend school with dignity and reduces the chances of her dropping out. Project Nanhi Kali is working with 19 NGO implementation partners at the grassroot level to ensure that the Nanhi Kalis receive academic, material support and social support. The K.C. Mahindra Education Trust regularly monitors the NGOs by giving technical inputs wherever required to ensure that quality education is being imparted to all the Nanhi Kalis. Mahindra Group has also Trained more than 14,000 students at 5 Mahindra Pride Schools Built and donated more than 4000 toilets across 11 states Planted 8 million trees across the globe Built healthcare to 72000 people through Impact India’s Lifeline Express Governance Mahindra has been voted India’s best board by the Economic Times – Hay Group Survey 2014 and also received top rating from CRISIL for governance and value creation.

It is water positive i.e. it saves more water than it uses Business for Good Through a range of tractors, Mahindra has brought in farm tech prosperity to farmers of India. The Arjun Novo for instance is a rare class of tractors which combines high-end product performance and fuel economy.

Hi Anuj2889. I am declining this draft as written because a large portion of the new text in this draft feels promotional, and is not cited to reliable sources. For example, there are no citations in the section about Project Nanhi Kali except to the initiative's own website. Ideally, Wikipedia articles should be supported by references to independent (i.e. not affiliated to Mahindra) and reliable sources, such as a news article, a magazine, or a book.
