Known for his philanthropic nature and kindness, Mr Mahindra often lends a helping hand to those who need or deserve it the most. Recently, he had also bought a house for Kamalathal, also known as 'Idli Amma' who sells idli sambar for Re 1. The businessman wanted to help her grow and make work easy for her. She expressed her wish to have a house and Mahindra Group's Mahindra Living Spaces worked hard to acquire land and constructing a house for her.
