Dear Friends,

The Mahindra Veerta Award recognises selfless acts of bravery by Mahindra Group employees. This award was instituted in the memory of Mohan Redkar, a trainee engineer at the Mahindra plant in Kandivali, who lost his life while trying to save two couples from drowning in the sea off Bandra, a suburb of Mumbai. Mohan exemplifies for us courage and bravery in the face of tremendous odds.
