Back in March, Mr Anand Mahindra had said that he wanted to help manufacture ventilators and provide temporary medical facilities for those affected by the virus. He had also stated that he will be contributing 100% of his salary to those in need.

At a time like this, we need as many helping hands as possible, and it helps when people who have more than most do something like this.
