New Delhi, July 6 (IANS) India is uniquely positioned to emerge as a trusted connector economy that links global markets, supply chains and geopolitical blocs in an increasingly fragmented world, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said in his letter to shareholders on Monday.

He said the country’s strengths place it at the centre of the evolving global economic order, while outlining the Group’s vision for long-term growth amid rising global uncertainty.

“India’s economic strengths, strategic position and growing global credibility place it at the centre of the emerging world order,” Mahindra stated.

The annual report comes after what the Group described as its strongest financial performance to date. Mahindra reported its highest-ever consolidated revenue and profit in FY26, while further strengthening its leadership across key businesses, including sport utility vehicles (SUVs), tractors, electric mobility and several emerging growth segments.

The Group attributed the record performance to the strength of its diversified business portfolio and disciplined execution across its operations.

In his letter, Group CEO and Managing Director Dr. Anish Shah highlighted artificial intelligence (AI) as a key pillar of Mahindra’s future growth strategy.

He said the company is integrating AI across multiple businesses, using the technology to improve operations, support decision-making and enhance customer experience.

According to Shah, Mahindra is among the few Indian enterprises that are scaling AI adoption across the organisation rather than limiting it to individual functions or business units.

The Group also highlighted its growing international recognition during the year. Mahindra said it was ranked among TIME’s World’s Best Companies and was recognised as Outstanding Company of the Year at the India Business Leadership Awards.

It also noted that its innovation portfolio has expanded to more than 1,300 patents, reflecting its continued focus on research, technology and product development as it seeks to strengthen its position as a globally recognised, innovation-led enterprise.
