Mumbai, March , 2022
: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. today announced
its entry into the NFT (non-fungible token) universe, with the release of its
first tranche of tokens, becoming the first Indian automotive OEM to enter
this space.
NFTs are at the forefront of blockchain technology and have
captured the interest of the digitally savvy and constantly connected
generation. The entry of Mahindra into the NFT universe is yet another
testimony of their continued focus on digital initiatives in the country.
The first NFT offerings from Mahindra will be based on the iconic Thar and
will be released in collaboration with Tech Mahindra. Thar exemplifies the
Mahindra promise of ‘Explore the Impossible’. Additionally, its larger-than-
life imagery is suited to the futuristic, socially wired landscape of NFTs.
This first-ever series comprises four NFTs that will be put up for sale via an
auction starting the 29
th
of March 2022, on Tech Mahindra’s NFT
marketplace christened
‘Mahindra Gallery’.
All proceeds from the auction will go towards Project Nanhi Kali, to support
the education of underprivileged girls in India. Access to education helps
the girl child in fulfilling her dreams and lays the foundation for an equal
society.
The Thar experience doesn’t end with buying an NFT. The winners of the
auction will be invited to the Mahindra Adventure Off-road Driver Training
Academy (Igatpuri, Maharashtra) or to the new state-of-the-art Mahindra
SUV Proving Track (MSPT, Chennai), to experience the thrill of 4x4
motoring.

Chief Executive Officer,
Automotive Division, M&M Ltd said,
