Anand Mahindra is famous for spotting talent from across the world and his tweets. He recently tweeted about a boy from Manipur and said that he would like to support him in the future.
This boy named, Prem from Manipur caught Anand Mahindra's eye when he built a replica of the Iron Man suit using scrap material. He was also visited by the team of Anand Mahindra. Not only this, but top members of the Mahindra Group have also asked to mentor the boy and provide him with anything that is required to boost his career and education.
Our Group’s Chief Design Officer, @BosePratap is equally inspired by Prem & will be connecting with Prem to mentor his career. @SheetalMehta the head of the Mahindra Foundation will facilitate the continuing education of Prem & his siblings… (3/3) pic.twitter.com/wVDG6MZmYN

Anand Mahindra was shocked and in awe of the boy's creation. He tweeted, "I am awestruck and inspired by Prem's ambition & skills that have flowered despite — not because of— his circumstances. Many of us from privileged backgrounds never appreciated enough the resources we were given. But Prem uses scrap material & basic tools to shape his creations." He also shared a photo of Prem's process of making the iron suit through his drawings and drafts.

He further mentioned that the Chief Design Officer of the Mahindra Group will mentor Prem and the head of Mahindra Foundation will ensure that Prem and his siblings get a complete education.
Anand Mahindra also tweeted a video where one can see Prem operating his iron suit and a picture where Prem is visited by a team member of the Mahindra Group.
I had tweeted about Prem, the young man from Imphal who used scrap material to build an ‘Iron Man’ suit. I was keen to support his obvious talent & I’m grateful to our Auto sector partners, Shivz Autotech in Imphal for visiting Prem & his family to understand his desires.
