Gates said, “India’s passion for innovation never ceases to amaze. I drove an electric rickshaw, capable of traveling up to 131 km (about 81 miles) and carrying up to 4 people. It is inspiring seeing companies like Mahindra contribute to the decarbonisation of the transportation industry.”
Reacting to the video, Mahindra Group chairman, Anand Mahindra, invited Gates to a three-wheeler EV drag race between them and former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
