Interview with Chief Executive, Auto & Farm Strategy, Agri

and Allied Business, Mahindra & Mahindra


How has Mahindra leveraged its tractors business for the agri business?

Our top 150 dealers in India serve today as our service centres as well. We sell our agri inputs
via these service centres. Through some of these centres we are also facilitating buybacks, that is,
buying products confirming to our set standards at a fixed price. The biggest strength we have
are the three million Mahindra and Swaraj tractor owners in India. Our ability to connect with
these farmers is very high. We use this database to connect with them for all our agri products as
well as use it for sourcing.

We also need on-ground facilities like pack houses, ripening centres, cold storage etc. In some
cases, our dealers are willing to diversify. There are several opportunities to leverage the existing
eco-system.
