TRUTH ABOUT MAHINDRA

Review on Mahindra Luminare, Sector 59, Gurgaon

Common man vs Corporate powerhouse. We live in a world where the disparity between different classes becomes evident when the common middle class is set against large corporations. It’s an uphill battle and sadly, you find your voice lost in the abyss.

Hi, My Name is Pankaj Manchanda, I want to share my story with you so you can save yourselves from trusting your hard-earned money with Mahindra Group. Mr. Anand Mahindra upholds his company’s cancellation-clause and disregards the value of human life.

In 2015, I booked a 4BHK apartment with Mahindra Luminare. In February 2019, My 1 year old daughter daughter was hospitalized at W-Pratiksha hospital in Gurugram due to respiratory illness caused by Pneumonia. In September 2019, my daughter was treated for ‘Wheezing Associated Respiratory Illness’(WARI). We made a firm decision to shift from Delhi NCR for the sake of our daughter’s health. My wife’s hometown Indore had been ranked cleanest city in India for 3 years in a row, so we decided to move there

We hired Agarwal Packers and Movers and shifted to a rented house in Indore. My daughter is doing perfectly well in Indore, we are happy with the decision to bring our daughter away from pollution.

In June 2020, I informed Mahindra Luminare about our situation, hoping for them to empathize with our genuine life situation. My expectation and understandings about Mahindra Group were shattered when my plea to the company directors including Mr. Anand Mahindra, Mr. Arun Nanda and Mr. Arvind Subramanian was rejected. Though I had shared the medical reports, our moving bills and Indore’s rent agreement with the directors; they had chosen to ignore a genuine life situation which was beyond my control. The management had decided to deduct 61.6 Lakh rupees from my payment of 1.5 Crore. This is very unfair for a national brand entrusted by 1.4 billion people.

The reputation of Mahindra Group and Anand Mahindra is much bigger than my monetary loss of Rs. 61.6 Lakh. I am saddened to see one of India’s top corporate house ignore corporate social responsibility. I wish good luck to Mr. Mahindra, he would need it, because I am sure that my fellow citizens won’t keep their eyes closed for next 75 years to come.
