Industrialist Anand Mahindra Recalls His 'Best Decision'
The rise and rise of Kotak Mahindra Group has been nothing short of meteoric. "An investment of Rs 1,00,000 made in Kotak Group in November 1985, is worth Rs 1,400 crore today - a compounded growth rate of 40 per cent over the past 32 years," Uday Kotak, executive vice chairman and managing director of Kotak Mahindra Bank recently said. An early backer of the Kotak Group has been industrialist Anand Mahindra, who recently tweeted that it has been one of his best decisions.
