The man at the helm of Mahindra & Mahindra's automobile division shows Rohan and Kartik how to play it cool when shouldering the expectations of millions of Scorpio, XUV and Thar fans. Veejay does reveal a little bit more on the new XUV500 that’s about to be replaced by the new car, which we now know is called the XUV700. Veejay bats queries, the hardnosed and the ridiculous, with class and grace and leaves our duo a bit star struck. You dont want to miss Veejay's recipe for making it to the top, while keeping it fun!

1940's...1945 to be precise
1949!
Mad respect for karthik for asking extremely hard hitting questions
I love the fact that you are doing this interview for consumers and asking their questions instead of asking what they want to ask... Great job
Hey bro! It's an awesome team game.. pincer attack haha.. don't tell em!
Mr.Nakra was so easy & chill.. Kudos to PD .. Rohan & Kartik for bringing this series.. Its simply amazing to take us as a viewer to this aspect of automotive world✌️
Bro! Super glad to hearrrr this!! We're loving this opportunity!
@@SirKart Even glad to get a reply from u✌️😇
What a phenomenal interview! Please conduct this type of interview with Anand Mahindra also! Thar history dates back to 1949
Mahindra got coolest CEO and powerdrift got a wonderful interview and we got a great joy...
And we got the joy of reading this! Big up bro! ❤️
What a fun guy! He is the reason M&M seems like a homely company to every indian family!
i6y5
One of the Best series from PD 🔥🔥👌
Wooohoooo!!
M&M's 😂 Nice touch !
Rohan finished the peanut ones! My fav!
@@SirKart Haha! They're the best ones!
@@sbkrocks123 Haha.. hum mil baat ke khaayenge..
Would have loved questions on Pinninfarina and Ssangyong
Why
@@ViratKohli-wy2sk every company has failures too .. Pinninfarina has closed its Italy office, Ssangyong is on the verge of bankruptcy .. XUV300 was a baby product of these companies .. it would have been really good to see in how mahindra management handles failures, there attitude towards those employees etc ..
@@vigneshs4595 that better would be better for anand mahindra sir
It was 1940 when the history of THAR starts.
And I also loved that M&M thing. And the way Rohan gobbled it up saying “I love them all” is great way to tell how you like the M&M products.
......... Rohan nd Kartik..... every CEO both of u interview together is never going to forget the experience.... simply b'coz both of u have amazing " vibes " which transcends beyonds words......
Bro! You'll be even more amazed to know - they read the comments too! They wanna know what you think! And that really makes the awesomeness come full circle! We made this for you! 🙏
@@SirKart wow. Amazing ❤️👌👌👌
One of my uncle who is bed ridden now due to paralysis was die hard fan of Mahindra Jeeps. He owned many of those jeeps back in 80s. He still has that crazed when I show him the all new Thar video. He outrightly told me that he wants to own it now though he will not be able to drive it... that's the level of love he has in Mahindra Jeep series....
Oh man, that's passion! Please pass on our regards to Uncle. We hope you can take home for a Thar ride soon.
@@SirKart thank you sir... its a dream for me too to give one as his birthday gift. But its going put of my butget for now....hope I can make it one day...
@@chnkchoudhury72 good vibes bro! Stay positive man! Will happen! We're sending good vibes your way too!
No wonder Mahindra is doing such wonders as a company when they have gems like these!😎🙌
Absolutely!

Please do such session with Ford India as well. Would like to hear, how Ford India is planning to increase its market share in Indian market
This comment didn't age well.
Thanks to get the official timelines out for XUV500..Have been waiting for it from last Autoshow 2020.
So have we! So have we!
Beautifully put together! History goes back to 1940's to be exact 1949 with cj
That M&M pun tho🤣😂🔥
Very rarely I watch an entire video and comment about it and this time I just thoroughly watched and enjoyed the entire video(Thanks to Karthik and Rohan for such an amazing video) and even more excited to comment when you announced the giveaway.
Mahindra Thar's history dates back to 1949 when Mahindra had purchased a license from Willy to manufacture CJ 3A(Civilian Jeep) in India and eventually launched the vehicle with left-hand drive.
This was the best " Meet the leader" episode till date.
If it was the history of only thar then it would be 2010 that was the time it got its name but if it was about its family tree then it was back in the 1949 the CJ3A, which still has its engine rumbling till date in some parts of India.
Wooohooo!! ❤️
This has to be the most fun, witty & informative interviews ever hosted by powerdrift!
Huuuge props for both of you to ask out the questions we all curious enthusiasts had in mind!👏👏👏👌😝
Veejay sir is a fantastic personality😎
Thanks powerdrift for this awesome video🔥❤️
History of thar begins from 1945
He is very lucky to work for 25years
The type of interview I was looking for..❤️
Awesoooooommme to know bro!!
Mahindra is also expanding its business in Taiwan. This place is known for the sedan, quite a less number of SUV still I find some of the Madindra on the road (Scorpio Gateway). Nice job (Rohan and Kartik).
Love the fact that you have taken the feedback from the last video and turned down the background music volume. This interview was definitely a class apart.
Wow! This did not even feel like an interview. Just a casual conversation!! Arguably the best in the series!
And yes the original Thar's history dates back to 1949. The first SUV in the Name Thar lanched in 2010..
Super awesome to hear that bro! 😁 And Mr Nakra is cool!
It's surely amongst the best interviews I have watched till date. Listening to the conversations, especially the rapid questions round, I was having a fun time.
In one word if I were to describe it, Amazing 💯💯💯
Ye jo video ke starting me rohan aur kartik ki chit chat chalti hai. I like it. the way and their ideas of videos and their fantastic job in how the video is engaging. These both 2 species rohan and kartik KYA KHAKE AATE HO BHILOG.🤣
Yeh hi! Aapke feedback ka zabardast sandwich! Full power! And.. ❤️ thank you!
@@SirKart 🙏
The DNA of Thar dates back to the 1940s with the JV of Jeep and Mahindra. It's an absolute icon in the Indian Automobile Market
Huff...That was an informal joyful interview with a CEO. Enjoyed the session guys. I don't know who to blame or ask this question..Perhaps to Mr. Anand and Mr. Jim itself. Why didn't both of you shook hands with M & F partnership? Business is not always numbers and profits all the time. You guys are driven by automotive passion at roots and overridden by numbers and forecast info by others. My wishful thinking for a long time..Driving an Ecosport 500? No Compass suggestion please...
Why would so many people dislike such an amazing video.?
The first Jeep inspired SUV came in 1949. The first Thar came in 2010. This was the one of the best interviews.
I'm just 18 & wants to buy a Thar as of my first car, but waiting for the Thar 5 door model and Scorpio Next generation ❤️
Awesome interview😂🙏, Bro u could have asked about ALTURAS G4, will any other SUV replace it or, will the facelift of ALTURAS G4 will ever come to india😭.
Powerdrift ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
I hope you ask at least one boss man why buttons are being completely replaced by touch screens gradually with time. For some functions, buttons are the best, and they don’t distract the driver as much as touch screens do.
Yeah man they are damn distactive..
Great Video!
Thar's history date's back to 1949...!
Thanks bro! We'll keep you posted...
It was great to hear about Mr. Nakra's journey as a part of M&M. Best part of this interview was that it didn't seem staid and run-of-the-mill, especially because of the occasionally tongue-in-cheek questions from Kartik and Rohan :D I didn't think I could sit through 19 minutes of this without fast-forwarding certain bits, but I watched the whole thing without hitting fast forward at all! Top-class content from you guys. Also, the Thar's history dates back to the 1940s (1945 to be precise).
Great interview. Loved watching this one, something which was missing was asking Veejay Sir whats hidden behind the 'O' sauce recipe as we find it on every vehicle of Mahindra Xuv 5OO, BolerO, TreO, TraxO, ImperiO, ScorpiO ect ect.
*TruxO
Hahahaha next time we will ask why wasn't it called Tharo!
@@SirKart 😁👍
I never expected those hard hitting questions to a CEO.... expected this to be a cliche "big fish" interview....I was totally wrong... kudos to you guys for that courage to ask them.... now I'm gonna watch MG and skoda interviews too..
Answer to this is 1945 which lies in this amazing video. Awesome guys.... PD content....exceptional...anytime.
First Mahindra Thar was launched in October 4, 2010 to fill the void left by predecessor the Mahindra MM540.
Was expecting more questions on EV, but disappointed to learn nothing on that! but this series of interviews are exciting
⚡ You guys missed the Qn - *Will the new THAR get a THAR DAYBREAK edition ?*
From my grandfather to uncle, we all have been Mahindra customers since long. I believe the SUV story with Mahindra runs back to 1945.
This is why I Love Powerdrift. It is much more than just Information. Humour ,Talking Sense & knowledge are what always made me watch it.
Interview was outstanding & Mr. Nakra is just a Sport
Wow ! Who else could give a content like this ! Seriously love you more PD ❤️❤️ for this video and letting me get to know a person I look up to . As for the question on how far back the thar's origin goes back to ? For any Mahindra purists the thar has the same rich history as CJ 3B as mahindra got it's license way back in 1947 . So I don't understand why anyone wants the thar to look different ! It is a pride of our nation .
Extreme respect for Mr.Veejay Nakra Sir at the help of Mahindra and Mahindra for doing such a wonderful Job and probably the best interview so far in this Power Drift and great job by both Rohan and Karthik though. The main attraction is that since he is the CEO of Mahindra and Mahindra Auto Division but he himself makes others more comfortable too and a great Person too !!!!
THAR 1940s right from Cjs 1945 to be specific
Great! You guys actually asked those questions which people won’t even dare to, great one 👍
The history reach back to 1940s.
P.S.- Loved each part of the video and please bring in more videos like these. ♥️♥️
This has to be one of the best interviews, humour, witty & informative ever by powerdrift with a dashing personality!
The history and DNA of the THAR probably began late 1940s from the Willy into the Cj and son on.
One of the best interview have seen. To answer Mahindra Thar, it started from 1940 i believe.
This is the best one from your series. I wish I could buy a Thar one day. And yes the history of these machines starts from 1945.
Thanks bro! Surely you will! Chase it!
Awesome video and great insights. However, one of you guys should have questioned him on the thar and its delivery. How can mahindra justify the 10 to 12 months waiting period for a car that was launched over 6 months ago. And I do think the severe delivery issues of the thar has affected the launch of the xuv and Scorpio.
Great Karthick and Rohan. You guys bring superb energy in your conversations with the great leaders. Kudos👍🏻
By the way Thar history dates back to 1945
Awesome guys keep it up.... I worked in the same Mahindra towers... It was nostalgia... Thanks guys
Really!! Phenomenal! Which department. Were you in? Must have been exciting!
@@SirKart I was working in strategic sourcing and was responsible for Clutch and steering sourcing...Being an auto enthusiast it was an amazing tenure of 4 years... Still miss being part of M&M
@@zampak121 oh wow! Great to know!
The history of mahindra goes back to 1940's
And for thar its 1949 CJ3A
Now please give me that books i need to read that masterpiece and history about mahindra❣️❣️😍✨
I very much like your show... Sometimes I feel that the leaders speak their mind out.... But while hiring, I don't think the HR thinks the same way..... If I get a chance to serve a leader as Veejay sir, I would definitely resign now.... The way Sir has admitted the failure of Kuv 100 is great...
The CJ3A was launched as the first Mahindra vehicle. This was launched way back in 1949. The design of this car became the basis of all the other Thars that were to come from there on.
The best interview of this series. Enjoyed it completely!!
What an incredible interview this is....
Starting off with XUV 500 and all the way to getting into the THAR....✨👌🙌
Absolutely Delighted to Know about one of the leaders of Mahindra Auto.....
Well done powerdrift.....❤️🙌
Looking forward to watch more of this....🤞✌️
By the way the answer for the giveaway question is :
THE DESIGN HISTORY OF THE THAR REACH BACK TO 1940s.
That was exactly our idea! It's imp to know the people behind the machines and their designations.
I think Mahindra Reva launched in 2002 that is something called a visionary leader and he has set the bar away above. And also they pioneered in studying the Indian market segments very well.
Lovely interview there... And yeah Mahindra Thar's history dates back to 1949 with the CJ3A.
History of thar goes back to 1945 . Interesting video. Like the new concept 👍🏻
Thar's history reach backs to 1940s!!
Would love to get that book as one of the huge admirers of Mahindra and Mahindra so that I can get to know more about Mahindra's history!! Pls pls pls
umm giveaway me kuch nhi mila aaj tak , but I love to watch your every video 🤭 Even I can’t afford any.
Sir! Dekhna ab.. khareedna fursat main! Giveaway ke liye attempt toh marna chahiye..
Fantastic show guys, history backs to Oct 4 2010 for Thar
A fantastic video as always, team Powerdrift 🤘🏻
The history of Thar goes back to 1940s as Mr. Vijay says (1949 to be precise).
As a budding manager myself, its always a pleasure to hear candid talks from CEOs. There is just so much to learn from them. Excellent questions. Loving this series and looking forward to more such interviews. Thank you Powerdrift.
Bro, make videos of all bikes company also we want to see it 🔥🔥🔥
They're coming...
Hello Shumi, Om wants to know when..
The Thar was on road from 1949 badged as Willy's. I hope it's correct..
A gem of a person... loved the interview! The answer to the giveaway question is: 1940s
It may be from 1943 but 2020 one is the revolution and their marketing strategy is wow
Fun and informative interview. Thar's design history goes back to 1949. Thar brand launched in 2010.
Hmmmmm...... (Builds suspense)....
The history of Thar's design goes from as phased by Veejay Nakra is from "1940's " and Thar history is from 4 October 2010 but was also been tested by Mahindra and Veejay Nakra in 2009
The history of Thar goes all the way back to the 1940s. And thinking about it now makes me wonder about the hardships that has gone in to it and the countless people who have invested in it their life.
Another great video. I must say Mahindra should have made Thar little more livable and ergonomic, then I could have been a daily driver even with 3 doors. Its still lacks on modern touches(like those old school door handles, no armrest for rear seats, telescopic steering is missing, big lever for 4x4 engagement instead of a knob, etc.) and things are oddly placed(like all buttons are in central console, door periphery makes ingress poor, speakers could have been on doors instead of dash, etc.). XUV500 is looking like a promising upgrade with all the bells and whistles. Eager to see how the overall experience pans out to be
You guys are just awesome creative people with good humour
PD ARMY ROCKS
Guys you were gonna do with Dr. Goenka
Now retired but it would be HUGE to do one hour long session with him ...
From nothing in rnd to speak of to mahindra research valley n tech center in north America
We wish we could... We'll still try..
@@SirKart its more easy now .... Hez retired ... Hence i said hour long programme ... Imagine what gems could flow out of him
At 1949 they started assembling the Jeeps.
The design was carried forward with license and patent rights which led to the introduction of MM540, Major, Classic, legend and then as the market was advancing, they introduced the Thar in October 4, 2010 which had most of it's parts derived from the Bolero. It was mated with a CRDe engine and a 5 speed manual transmission with 4x4 gearbox. Then with the same engine, a facelift was introduced in 2015.
And by 2020, due to the government's safety regulations and to carry forward the legacy, they introduced the second Gen Thar in August 15, 2020.
The history reaches back to the 1940s!
Very nicely curated questions and interview 👍🏻
Damn I had a smile right from the beginning till the end of the video... Now that's what you call an interview.
Thank you Powerdrift....❤️
Wooohoooo!! Right back at you ❤️!
G gb
Really enjoyed this video it doesn't look like talking with a MD of a company. And to answer ur question it goes back to 1949 with CJ
Excellent. I liked the whole episode. Can't conclude who did best among you 3. By the way, you could have asked about upcoming Scorpio's crash test rating expectation (current one is not up to the mark, as everyone knows). But, still, I am a Scorpio fan :) and its in my wish list too.
The Thar's brand name history was resurrected in 2010. Whereas its predecessors history date backs to 1942
The vehicle was launched in the Indian market on October 4, 2010 to fill the void left by its predecessor, the Mahindra MM540. The Thar has been voted one of the top-10 SUVs available in the Indian market. ... The Thar also comes with a seven-seater option, though it can be converted into a two-seater.
Thar history reached back to 1940's
Amazing interview. Kudos to you guys for showing us the personal side of the well knows people.
This is the best interview of the series... Thar is truly a great machine in its price segment.
The era of 1940 rolls over the land without roads and maps its wandered like a boss who looks forward 🔥
History dates back to 1945! Timeless❤
Great interview was smiling all thru the 19 minutes...I personally owned the Bolero for more than 10 years..if only the THAR comes with 5 doors.. History back to 1940's.
The thar's history reaches back to the 1940's but for me it goes back to the 2005-06's because that's when I first sat in one as a kid it was a 89 mm540 I think, which was passed down from generations. Sit inside for the first time in the beautiful hills of Coorg. Good days.
Well Well! This made my Sunday. Me being a Mechanical Engineer and a avid automobile enthusiast. This MEET THE LEADERS is such a crazy thing to happen. Cheers PD!.
Coming to the Giveaway. The initial foundation for the THAR started with the *CJ(3A)* in *1949* followed by the *Willys (Kaiser Motors)*.
Wooohooo.. hearing this from you makes our day brighter man!
We want the Alturus G4 Facelift 🔥🔥
Lekin koi alturas kardita hi Nahi..😭
Didn't the ssangyong company file for bankruptcy? If you want an Alturas, it's better to buy one now if it is available anywhere. I think I read reports that mahindra will release the ssangyong entity as well
I'm a Veterinary Surgeon and still want to be in your team ❤️ massive respect to you guys 🔥
Answer to your question is 1940's ... October 1945, Punjab, Unified India 👍
When there is a larger objective and business is a part of that larger objective , There builds a great organisation!
Love that ! I own a XUV its been a wonderful experience for last 4 years form Power->Comfort to experience at the service - U Stole my mind. For my next car i wouldn't mind to go for a newer version of XUV!.
The amazing history of Mahindra Thar dates back to 1940's when the first iconic CJ3A was launched. The Thar got its design language mainly from MM540 when Mahindra parted it's license from Jeep, it also got the fenders and bonnet design started from the MM540.
I really wish to buy a a Mahindra Thar especially in Black Or Red 😍 mainly for my dad as he misses that king like sitting position from our old car SUMO. Fingers crossed.
Also Rohan and Kartikeya this was best interview ❤️🔥
The original CJ3A dates back to 1949, and the Thar we call it now first launched in 2010.
One of the reason the video is likable is the fantastic editing.
no question on Marazzo?
The THAR's history reaches back to 1949 when Mahindra and Mahindra produced it's first offroad vehicle CJ3A.
Nice interview with Rajeev Masand @PowerDrift
