History
 Mahindra & Mahindra was incorporated as Muhammad & Mahindra in 1945 by the
brothers J. C. Mahindra and K. C. Mahindra, and Malik Ghulam
Muhammad in Ludhiana, Punjab to trade steel.
 The Mahindra brothers began trading steel with UK suppliers based on their steel
business experience. In 1947, they were awarded a contract to manufacture Willys
Jeeps in India, and they began doing so in 1947. The firm was listed on the Bombay
Stock Exchange in 1956, and it began exporting utility vehicles and spare
components in 1969.
 Anand Mahindra, the new Managing Director, followed up the restructuring with a
new logo in 2000 and the successful debut of the Mahindra Scorpio (a vehicle
created entirely in-house) in 2002. These reforms, along with a revamp of production
and manufacturing procedures, helped the firm become more competitive, and the
Group's reputation and revenues have improved substantially since then. Mahindra
& Mahindra is now one of India's top 20 companies. Mahindra was named among
the top 200 most respectable corporations in the world by Forbes in 2009.
