Anand Mahindra is known for being quite active on social media. From sharing fun videos from WhatsApp wonderbox with his Twitter followers to commenting on latest happenings around the world, the top boss sure knows how to keep his 7.7 million followers hooked. The billionaire businessman took to Twitter to express his views on Facebook’s recent acquisition of 9.99% stake in Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio.

Not only did Mahindra congratulate Ambani on the business move, he also felt that the acquisition is a sign of India’s economic independence.

“Coming as it does during the virus-crisis, it is a strong signal of India’s economic importance post the crisis,” wrote Mahindra. “It strengthens hypotheses that the world will pivot to India as a new growth epicentre. Bravo Mukesh!” added the top boss.


Facebook, led by Mark Zuckerberg, has bought a stake worth Rs 43,574 crore in Reliance Jio. "The combined power of Jio's world-class digital connectivity platform and Facebook's intimate relationship with the Indian people will offer innovative new solutions to each one of you," Ambani had said.

The deal will bring together JioMart, the e-commerce venture of Ambani, and Facebook's WhatsApp platform to connect consumers with neighbourhood kirana stores.
