Remember a few days ago Anand Mahindra had tweeted about wanting to support a young man from Manipur who built an Iron Man suit from scrap? He took to Twitter to share an update about him with his fans and followers. The young man is from Heirok, Manipur and has been identified as Prem Ningombam. The 66-year-old industrialist once again expressed his strong desire to support him in whatever way possible and also appeared inspired and impressed with his superb skills. He addressed his gratitude to his Auto sector partners, Shivz Autotech in Imphal for visiting Prem and his family. I had tweeted about Prem, the young man from Imphal who used scrap material to build an ‘Iron Man’ suit. I was keen to support his obvious talent & I’m grateful to our Auto sector partners, Shivz Autotech in Imphal for visiting Prem & his family to understand his desires.

Many of us from privileged backgrounds never appreciated enough the resources we were given.
