It’s a general perception that people who are successful and on a high designation are more serious and less funny; however, exceptions are always there and Anand Mahindra, Mahindra Group’s executive chairman is a perfect example of the same.
No one had an idea of his amazing sense of humor until this incident took place. It so happened that Anand posted the photo of a Pininfarina Maserati Birdcage (2006) on Twitter with caption, “That’s one cage I wouldn’t mind being imprisoned in. Pininfarina sustains its legendary & pathbreaking designs.”

At this point, it’s necessary to mention that Pininfarina has already been taken over by the Mahindra Group in December, 2015; nevertheless, a Twitterati doesn’t seem to have any idea regarding it and he asks the industrialist as to why he doesn’t purchase it.
He tweeted, “what stops you from buying it?Go for it.”

Mahindra had an out of the world response to the tweet when he said, “We bought the company instead…(Pininfarina)”
