India’s business titan Anand Mahindra is inspired by the transformation of the city of Indore as the cleanest city and considers this as his Monday motivation.
The business leader expressed his thoughts over Indore emerging as India’s cleanest city and its efforts to become “India’s most silent city” as well. “Decades ago, I met my wife while I was making a student film in Indore. The city was then unattractive & dirty. The city’s transformation is miraculous & proves that ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way!’ More power to you, Indore; You’re my #MondayMotivaton,” he tweeted.
Indore, the cleanest city
