Thanks To Anand Mahindra, Marvel Fan From Manipur Who Made 'Iron Man' Suit Gets Engineering Training
Earlier, Prem Ningombam from Heirok, Manipur, took social media by storm with his impressive ability to turn scrap items into spectacular creations, including a fully functional Iron Man suit.
There is no dearth of creativity in our country and a few months ago, a boy hailing from Manipur proved that.
This 20-year-old boy named Ningombam Prem created a replica of the Marvel character Iron Man out of electronic waste. He made the suit using discarded scrap materials, emergency lamps, electronic toys, syringes, speaker frames and even IV-fluid tubes.
His invention got a lot of attention and created a storm on social media. He was even praised by business giants such as Anand Mahindra. Not just that, the business tycoon in October had said his company would not only help the boy to pursue his dreams but their foundation would also finance the education of the boy and his siblings.
I had tweeted about Prem, the young man from Imphal who used scrap material to build an ¡®Iron Man¡¯ suit. I was keen to support his obvious talent & I¡¯m grateful to our Auto sector partners, Shivz Autotech in Imphal for visiting Prem & his family to understand his desires.

Now after pledging to help Prem, Mahindra shared an important update on his Twitter handle that the talented boy has arrived in Hyderabad for his skill training. He even thanked Indigo for taking good care of the boy and sent a driver for him in Hyderabad as well.
On Tuesday, Mahindra shared two photos on Twitter saying, ¡°We promised to help him get the engineering education he wanted and I¡¯m delighted to share that he has arrived at Mahindra University in Hyderabad.¡± He also thanked the airline company, IndiGo for his safe travel.

This wasn't it. Mahindra also tagged the Chief Design Officer of Mahindra and Mahindra, Pratap Bose, saying that he too was impressed with Ningombam¡¯s creations and would mentor Prem in his future endeavours.
Before arriving in Hyderabad, the boy also posted photos of his journey, thanking the airline company for a ¡°warm welcome¡± and arranging a ¡°special seat¡± for him. He thanked Mahindra and added that he has received sponsorship for studying mechanical engineering at the university.
People on the internet were impressed by Anand Mahindra and the fact that he's supporting this budding inventor. They congratulated the Manipur boy and lauded Mr Mahindra for his help.

Business Tycoon Anand Mahindra is known for helping the innovators and people who he thinks could do well with his help. Recently, Mahindra supported 80-year-old K Kamalathal aka Idli amma who sells idlis with sambhar and chutney for just Re 1.
The industrialist brought a home cum workplace for the viral internet sensation and won the internet with his gesture. He wrote, '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.'
