Why Anand Mahindra doesn’t want to buy an airline: ‘If you want to be a millionaire…’

Anand Mahindra regularly tweets to his 10.2 million strong Twitter family.

Billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra has no intention of buying or starting an airline, he revealed in response to a Twitter user’s query today.

Anand Mahindra, 67, is the chairman of Mahindra Group, a Mumbai-based conglomerate with a presence in automobile, construction equipment, defence, energy, finance, hospitality, IT and even the aerospace industry. But when it comes to the aviation business, the industrialist prefers to steer clear.

So when a Twitter user asked Mahindra if he owned an airline, the answer was an emphatic no. He also asked his 10 million followers if they could guess why he does not plan on owning an airline.

“Nahin. Aur na mujhe usse bananey ka, ya khareedney ka iraada hai. Kya aap anumaan lagaa sakte hain kyon? (No. And nor do I have any plans of starting or buying an airline. Can you guess why?” wrote Anand Mahindra.
