MUMBAI, India, Jan. 25, 2024 -- In a landmark initiative, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., India's leading SUV manufacturer, in association with the India Today Group, proudly flags off the Mahindra Rise "Drivers of Change" initiative.

These women have not only been challenging the barriers but have also made a difference in society by empowering others in the process. These women are from diverse fields such as Defence, Sports, Music, Police Force, Social and environmental activists amongst others.
The Auto Today Team from the India Today Group will embark on an epic journey spanning 10,000km across India in the Mahindra XUV700, visiting these remarkable women in their environments, celebrating their stories and contributions.
