Business magnate Anand Mahindra's Mahindra Group has been placed third in a survey conducted by the Harsh Mariwala, the Chairman of Marico. The survey was conducted to determine the list of India's cleanest promoters, to which Mahindra tweeted on Thursday calling the inclusion a "huge positive as well as a huge responsibility." The chairman of Mahindra Group further tweeted saying that the company is committed to living up to the faith that has been placed in them.

Harsh Mariwala had posted a survey last week on his Twitter page asking his 8.7 lakh followers to vote for the ‘cleanest promotors' in India. "In your opinion, who are the cleanest promotors in India with high levels of governance?" he tweeted, adding that he will post the results after his followers send their responses within a week.

After receiving more than 360 responses within a week, Mariwala took to Twitter to announce the results of the survey on Thursday where Mahindra was placed at the third spot behind Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of the Tata Sons and Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro.

Here's a look at the list:

Mahindra's response to the tweet has garnered more than 3,100 likes and was retweeted more than 200 times.
