Anand succeeds Keshub Mahindra who announced his retirement after leading the group for over 45 years
Thanking the shareholders for their support, Keshub said it was time to "break new grounds", and the group was in good hands for going forward.

Attending his last AGM as the Chairman of the group, Keshub took time off to sign autographs for shareholders. One of them also presented him a painted portrait of his.
During the 48 years of his chairmanship, the Mahindra Group expanded from being an automobile manufacturer to other business segments like IT, real estate, financial services and hospitality.
He played key roles in forging business alliances with global majors such as the Willys Corporation, Mitsubishi, International Harvester, United Technologies, British Telecom and many others.
