Anand Mahindra first shared about Prem back in September when the young boy had managed to build an Iron Man suit replica using scrap material, which left many, including Anand Mahindra impressed. He then shared the video that showed the teenager wearing the suit, which looks like a close replica of the suit that Tony Star wears in the Marvel movies. Anand Mahindra’s team had then managed to contact prem by visiting his town Heirok a few days after his first tweet. He further added that Mahindra Group’s Chief Design Officer, Pratap Bose si equally impressed by Prem’s work and would mentor his career in the right direction.

This isn’t the first time that Anand Mahindra’s tweets have been helpful for those in need. There were many such incidents in the past as well.
