Mahindra becomes the first Indian Auto OEM to enter the NFT universe

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.

Commenting on the launch, Veejay Nakra,

Chief Executive Officer,

Automotive Division, M&M Ltd said,

“Mahindra & Mahindra has always

been a pioneer in adopting new-age digital innovations to enhance

customer experience. The launch of NFTs is another exciting step for us to

leverage the next frontier of digital marketing.

We will be able to offer

a

whole new set of experiences to our customers, build communities for our

brands, and also increase brand awareness and loyalty

.

With our entry

into the NFT space, we are all set to harness the countless possibilities of

interacting and adding

to the Mahindra brand and all our nameplates, and

there is no better brand for this debut than the Thar.”

CP Gurnani, MD & CEO, Tech Mahindra, said, “

At Tech Mahindra, we

believe in innovating for the future. As an industry front runner, we have

significantly contributed to digital transformational strategies and

solutions. In line with our aim to reimagine customer experience,

engagement and brand equity through digital transformation, we are

platform-of-the-future will emerge as a key lever to showcase the rich

archives and history of the Group that everyone can own in the form of

NFTs, ushering in the next wave of digital ownership.”

The unveil and auction for the first Thar NFT will take place on 29th March
