Kerala
You won’t believe which ‘clean and pristine’ Kerala village Anand Mahindra just visited!
Thiruvananthapuram/IBNS: In July this year, Mahindra & Mahindra Chairperson Anand Mahindra revealed that Kerala’s Kadamakkudy was on his bucket list and that he hoped to visit the village during his official trip to the state in December. He has now fulfilled that promise.
Mahindra, known for his active presence on X and his posts on a wide range of topics, visited Kerala last week for a conference. Following the event, he made his way to Kadamakkudy to see whether the village lived up to its reputation as one of the most picturesque locations in the state.
Sharing his experience on X, Mahindra wrote, “I lived up to a promise I had made to myself… After our Group’s M101 annual leadership conference in Kochi last week, on Friday I drove to Kadamakkudy to see if it truly deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful villages on earth.
"Clean and pristine. Tranquil kayals stretching as far as the eye can see, with small launches chugging gently along their waters. Egrets and black cormorants, preening and drying themselves in the sun. Mesmerising. Some landscapes don’t just impress; they recalibrate you.”
I lived up to a promise I had made to myself…

Kadamakkudy truly has that rare ability to slow down the mind and speed up the soul.

Loved reading this, sir, and it also highlights something important:
India’s most precious assets aren’t always monuments; they’re living landscapes.
Places like Kadamakkudy could become global…
Such a lovely weekend post Sir. Share more pics.
