The world celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday, May 12, showering their ‘special person’ in life with surprises, love and appreciation for their unwavering support and endless sacrifices.
Several corporate leaders remembered their moms, recalling some of their cherished moments to mark the occasion.
Anand Mahindra, the chairperson of Mahindra and Mahindra, shared a sentimental post dedicated to his mother.
“Back in 1977. Just before I left for college. My mother wasn’t looking into the camera; As usual, she was gazing into the distance… trying to envision her children's future, hoping that a good education would be their passport to success—and happiness. Happy #MothersDay Ma. We’ll keep trying to live up to your dreams for us…,” Mahindra wrote on X while sharing a throwback photograph of himself with his mother.
Similar was the case with Vedanta chairperson Anil Agarwal, who recalled how his mother's advice motivated him and helped in the establishment of his company.
“After failing multiple times in business, I nearly gave up. I was lost, demotivated and disturbed,” Agarwal said in a post on X.
He added that his mother Vedvati Agarwal then advised him to move forward in life and that's how the Vedanta Group was born.
“Tab Maa ne bola tha 'Anil aage badhte jao darwaze khulte jaenge.” It wasn't easy, but unki blessings sem I kept moving forward. It was with these words, and with Maa’s blessings, I started all over again. That's how Vedanta was born, a company named after my mother Vedvati Agarwal. It is a tribute to her strength and wisdom. Happy
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon Limited, also shared an image with her mother and wrote, "Remembering my awesome mom on Mother’s Day."
On Mother's Day 2024, food delivery giant Zomato organised a surprise for the mothers of the company's employees.
“And here’s the surprise! We invited the moms of our employees to celebrate the day with us at the office. Also got great feedback on how to run @zomato better. So much love all around today,” Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal shared on social media along with images and videos of the mothers' of the Zomato staff cutting cake at the office.
Bhavish Aggarwal, CEO of Ola, said he was not able to meet his mother on the occasion as she was away in Ludhiana.
“Happy Mother’s Day! My Mom is in Ludhiana so can’t meet her today but would love to personally deliver a cake from @Olacabs @ONDC_Official to a mom in Bengaluru! If you want me to deliver, comment below and we will select the best couple of requests,” he wrote.
Mother's Day comes as a heartfelt reminder of the unwavering perseverance, love, and resilience that moms around the world have for their children. To mark this special day, families often join to honour the 'extraordinary' women who have shaped their lives with unflinching love.
