Anand Mahindra Kept His Promise & Gifted A New House To Idli Amma On Mother's Day
Anand Mahindra gifted a new house to Tamil Nadu¡¯s Idli Amma on Mother¡¯s Day and fulfilled the promise he had made to her.
Back in 2019, a woman named K Kamalathal also famously known as 'Idli Amma' got immensely famous for selling idlis for just Re 1 during the lockdown. After she got viral, Business tycoon Anand Mahindra got impressed by her dedication and promised to buy her a home.
Mahindra stuck to his promise and gifted a new house to Tamil Nadu¡¯s Idli Amma on Mother¡¯s Day.
The business mogul shared a video on Twitter that shows Idli Amma, inaugurating the new house that is complete with a ¡®special kitchen¡¯ designed specifically for her.
Anand Mahindra wrote, ¡°Immense gratitude to our team for completing the construction of the house in time to gift it to Idli Amma on#MothersDay She¡¯s the embodiment of a Mother¡¯s virtues: nurturing, caring & selfless. A privilege to be able to support her & her work. Happy Mother¡¯s Day to you all!¡±

People on the internet lauded the Mahindra Group Chairman for sticking to his words and actually fulfilling his promise.
This planet has a few good people too, that's why we still have rains. I don't know why, Ananji touches my heart and brings tears too...

Total Respect for Mr Anand Mahindra. Very few individuals like Idli amma. In today's world where there is negativity and greed for power and money a story like this gives so much hope. Made my day

So noble. Iam sure she would now have some respite while doing the selfless work she does. In a time where a simple Plate of idli is priced for rs 100 in most places, making it available at 1 rupee is philanthropic

Cheers to you and idli Amma ??????#HappyMothersDay2022
Anand Mahindra has been lauding Idli amma for her work and has been helping her expand his business. Last year, he talked about investing in her business and helped her get an LPG gas to make her special idlis.
One of those humbling stories that make you wonder if everything you do is even a fraction as impactful as the work of people like Kamalathal. I notice she still uses a wood-burning stove.If anyone knows her I¡¯d be happy to ¡®invest¡¯ in her business & buy her an LPG fueled stove. pic.twitter.com/Yve21nJg47

Later, in April 2021, the businessman went one better and promised that she will have her own house.
Only rarely does one get to play a small part in someone¡¯s inspiring story, and I would like to thank Kamalathal, better known as Idli Amma, for letting us play a small part in hers. She will soon have her own house cum workspace from where she will cook & sell idlis (1/3) https://t.co/vsaIKIGXTp
