In the video, the boy is heard saying, “Idhar bas elder logon ke liye kyun hota hain sab kuch? Idhar tea hain, coffee hain sab kuch hain. Idhar bachchon ke liye kuch kyun nahi hain (Why are there only things for the elders? They get tea and coffee, but why isn’t anything arranged for the kids?)” Vikas uploaded the video with a caption: “Sir, this is an appeal by Master Advik, a little follower of Mahindra, to consider them equally influential in the decision-making of buying a car.”
In response to the video, Anand Mahindra said he “absolutely” agrees with the young boy. He even went on to say that in this day and age, the opinions of children are very important. “Today, the voices and opinions of children are hugely influencing which car a family chooses to buy. And Advik is also right, we don’t do enough to give importance to children in the showrooms. I know our team is going to be inspired to act on Advik’s suggestion,” Mahindra said in his reply to the video.

Anand Mahindra’s Reply Goes Viral
Soon after Anand Mahindra’s reply went online, it went viral. It got more than 40,000 likes, thereby reflecting the popularity the business tycoon enjoys on the micro-blogging site. Social media users even voiced their opinions in response to Mahindra’s post. “This is super cool,” one of the users wrote in reply. “With all humility, I see these as the problems of the privileged, engaging / entertaining children who accompany a family visiting a car showroom. It is totally different from involving them in the decision-making of which car a family buys. I hope we don’t mix up both,” wrote another user.
