Anand Mahindra responded to him by saying, ”Appreciate your sentiment, Krishlay, & many, like you, have been urging me to gift a Thar to @rpragchess.But I have another idea. I would like to encourage parents to introduce their children to Chess & support them as they pursue this cerebral game (despite the surge in popularity of video games!). It's an investment in a better future for our planet, just like EVs. And so, I think we should gift an XUV4OO EV to the PARENTS of @rpragchess Shrimati Nagalakshmi & Shri Rameshbabu, who deserve our gratitude for nurturing their son's passion & for giving him their untiring support. What do you think, @rajesh664 (CEO of Mahindra Ltd)?”
Users appreciated the gesture stating that parents who put in the hard yards in raising their children need to be rewarded.
