A question of competition

At the Mahindra Group's annual general meeting (AGM) last week, a shareholder who identified herself as Mrs Patel asked many questions. She said these had been forwarded to her by her son who could not make it to the AGM. Running a background check, Chairman and Managing Director Anand Mahindra discovered that Mrs Patel's son works with Tata Motors. "I am going to tell her next time that I want all the same questions answered by Tata Motors," was his candid reaction.
