It’s really why we love Indian business tycoon and philanthropist, Anand Mahindra, who truly has the capacity to make people laugh. This week, he came out with a tweet that had us tickled to tears, combining the ‘desi’ Indian humour with two of the wheeler differences in the Indian economy – luxury and poverty. The tweet had luxury brand Porche and a bullock cart, inspiring a series of hilarious responses from the public. Let’s dive deeper into this masterpiece and look at why it had us rolling with laughter.
1) Anand Mahindra’s Hilarious Take on Desi Humour
The Chairman of the Mahindra group, Anand Mahindra, is widely known for his sense of humor and witty observations. His take on desi humour is no different – just a few words are enough to make any Indian audience ROFL!
Here’s a glimpse of some of his funniest gems over the years:
- When asked whether he’d want to buy a Ferrari and drive it, he quipped, “Why would I want to do that, when I already own a tractor?”
- At a CA summit in 2017, he said, “Entrepreneurs owe it to themselves to fail fast, fail early and fail often… no, that’s not a sign of failure.”
- When asked what makes him the most proud, Anand replied jokingly, “My Twitter following. Since it’s growing, I must be getting it right somehow.”
Anand Mahindra’s take on desi humour is sure to bring a smile on your face, no matter how bad the day has been!
2) Luxury Brand Encounters Unexpected Foe – The Bullock Cart
The luxury brand was no match for the old-fashioned bullock cart. As the sun set, a stronghold of traditional values seemed to take over. Precedence was given to the bullock cart and with stoical determination the bullock cart honked its way through the main street.
The luxury brand turned to look sadly at the sturdy bullock cart, with its large wooden wheels, yellow tassels and white cloth trumpets. Its bullocks, determined and seemingly unhurried, kept up a steady pace, unmindful of the urgent traffic. Bowed by this reminder of traditional roots, the luxury brand proceeded reluctantly to the side of the street.
- The bullock cart was a sobering sight for the luxury brand
- It horned its way through the city streets, unmindful of the swanky brand it overran
- The bullock cart was an unchanging figure of tradition that couldn’t be ignored

4) Moneycontrol Unveils a Funny Tale Beyond Ratings and Figures
Moneycontrol unveils a funny tale beyond the known range of ratings and figures. It all starts with a small gape in the whole system. The accounting entry of a valuable customer had mistakenly been credited by 100 times more than the actual amount.
- The Surprise: On the surface, the system showed an increased balance in the customer’s account. The surprise was such that many termed the anomaly to be divine help.
- The Chain of Events: As soon as the error was detected, the customer’s account was rightly set. Needless to say all the customer’s transactions also underwent drastic changes. One such customer with a string of debit transactions immediately sprung into profit.
The series of unplanned events brought in some unexpectedly sweet yields to some customers. But the more important lesson lies in acknowledging our money handling capabilities; wisely guess, access and act. All the elements that make moneycontrol a trusted platform. Anand Mahindra is truly the innovator of ‘desi humour’, offering viewers clever pictures and an inside peek into his thoughts. His amusingly creative tweets never fail to surprise, showing us that both luxury brands and the traditional bullock carts have their respective place in his heart!
