Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has a major presence on social media. His followers love to see his views on current events and insights on new startups and young entrepreneurs online. He has a colossal following of 11.2 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) to whom Anand shares his thoughts, inspirational messages, images, and videos. 

He recently shared a post made by Siddharth Dialani and called it an "object lesson in how entrepreneurial opportunities arise." Mahindra made a post and wrote, "This is an object lesson in how entrepreneurial opportunities arise. You may not always be able to anticipate customer needs far in advance. You have to keep your ears to the ground, keep your eyes open and look for telltale SIGNS of an evolving need. You then have to swoop in and help complete the loop from a customer’s pain-point—to an expressed need—to a modified product that precisely fits that requirement."

"(With all our history in the agribusiness area, I have to admit I had no knowledge of this requirement. ) Stay awake. Look, listen, learn and then act. You might use AI today to help find new patterns and needs. But these simple rules of entrepreneurship may never change. Well done Siddharth!" he added. 

 

 

Founder and CEO of BharatAgri, Siddharth Dialani originally made a post talking about how hands-free torches are the best-selling product on his platform. He wrote, "We were observing that torch sales were picking up consistently on the BharatAgri platform. We were intrigued as this is not an agricultural product, so we didn't anticipate this. Our team decided to speak to a few farmers. They mentioned that they get 3 phase electricity at night for 4 days a week. To continue farming activities at night, they need the torch. Makes sense, good insight."

"But our team took an extra step and asked, how else can BharatAgri help? Farmers suggested that they want a hands-free torch so that they can use both hands while farming. And guess what! This mining-torch became our top selling product in the category! India is changing! And farmers are changing for the better!" he added. 

After Mahindra shared the post on his account on X, the post got 80.6K views and several comments praising Siddharth and his team for communicating with the farmers and providing them with optimal tools.
