Dr. Pawan Goenka Mahindra Interview

This video features an interview with Dr. Pawan Goenka, President of the Automotive Sector at Mahindra. He shares his early life and education in a small village and how his decision to pursue engineering and attend IIT Kanpur was a suggestion from his father. Dr. Goenka's entry into the automobile industry was somewhat accidental, as a research scholarship led him to the sector, and he enjoyed it so much that he decided to stay. He emphasizes that there isn't a single path to success and that individuals must forge their own, stressing that the goal should be to "achieve something that you will feel proud of" and "make a difference." Dr. Goenka highlights the critical role of values, which he believes are formed during one's teenage years through family, parents, and teachers. He believes that it's an excellent time to be a young person in India, especially if one's objective is to make a difference to their surroundings, company, industry, and country, noting the immense opportunities and inherent qualities that India and its people possess.
