Industrialist Anand Mahindra has gifted javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, who won India’s first ever Olympic athletics gold, a Mahindra XUV700, the latest SUV being produced by auto major Mahindra & Mahindra. 

The gift has come as a spontaneous response to a suggestion from a twitter user after Mahindra had tweeted a congratulatory message for India’s Olympic star.

"We are all in your army, Baahubali," Mahindra tweeted, along with a grid photo showing the Olympian and the fantasy action film hero Baahubali. The context the message was linked to the fact that Neeraj Chopra is also a Subedar in the Indian Army.

Then a Twitter user, Ritesh Jain, replied to Anand Mahindra saying that Mr Chopra should get the XUV700.

Replying to Ritesh Jain, Anand Mahindra tagged two top executives of the auto giant and asked them to keep an XUV700 ready for Neeraj Chopra.

"Yes, indeed. It will be my personal privilege and honour to gift our Golden Athlete an XUV7OO @rajesh664 @vijaynakra Keep one ready for him please," Mr Mahindra tweeted.
