Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra is quite active on social media and is known for sharing motivational, innovative and heartwarming posts. Sridhar Vembu, Zoho CEO took to Twitter to share his feedback after driving an electric rickshaw manufactured by Mahindra. Praising the electric vehicle, Vembu called it a "practical commute vehicle", however, he also shared some suggestions to Mahindra Chairman regarding the electric autos.
Anand Mahindra responded to Sridhar Vembu’s tweet with “delight”. He further informed that he has been expressing for the last few years that 3-wheelers will help India to reach the EV-tipping point before four-wheelers. In another tweet, Anand Mahindra wrote, “At global fora including Davos ‘19 I’ve said that futuristically styled, ‘cool’ e-tuktuks (3W) could well be the preferred mode of commuting in western city-centres. Our design head @BosePratap is already on the job. So pleased you’re a brand ambassador for this movement!”

Sridhar Vembu appreciated the design of the electric rickshaw manufactured by Mahindra and said that the villagers are impressed with the "cool" design of the electric auto. Furthermore, he revealed that villagers asked him where they could get one. He also urged Mahindra to decrease the price to make it more affordable. He even suggested Mahindra Chairman to introduce a variety of designs and colours on the electric auto line.
2/ This electric auto form factor and the price point (take home price under Rs 3.5 lakhs) is a very affordable family vehicle. With volumes, prices can come down.

Design can make this a really cool vehicle. When I drive my auto on rural roads, people ask me where to get one.
3/ @anandmahindra

Please offer a variety of designs and colors on the electric auto line. Offer family and kid friendly options.
Come up with a cool marketing campaign to popularize these low-cost electric vehicles.
I see great potential for them. I love driving one! 🙏
