New Delhi– India is well positioned to become a trusted “connector economy” linking global markets, supply chains and geopolitical blocs at a time of rising global fragmentation, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said in his latest letter to shareholders.

Mahindra said India’s strengths place it at the center of the changing global economic order as he outlined the group’s long-term growth vision amid global uncertainty.

“India’s economic strengths, strategic position and growing global credibility place it at the centre of the emerging world order,” Mahindra stated.

The comments were part of Mahindra Group’s annual report, which followed what the company described as its strongest financial performance to date. The group reported its highest-ever consolidated revenue and profit in FY26, while strengthening its position across key businesses, including sport utility vehicles, tractors, electric mobility and emerging growth segments.

The company attributed the record performance to its diversified business portfolio and disciplined execution.

In his letter, Group CEO and Managing Director Anish Shah identified artificial intelligence as a key pillar of Mahindra’s future growth strategy. Shah said the company is integrating AI across multiple businesses to improve operations, support decision-making and enhance customer experience.

According to Shah, Mahindra is among the few Indian companies scaling AI adoption across the organization rather than limiting it to individual functions or business units.

Mahindra also pointed to growing international recognition during the year. The company said it was ranked among TIME’s World’s Best Companies and was recognized as Outstanding Company of the Year at the India Business Leadership Awards.

The group said its innovation portfolio has expanded to more than 1,300 patents, reflecting its continued focus on research, technology and product development as it works to strengthen its position as a globally recognized, innovation-led enterprise. (Source: IANS)
