Alam's this heart-warming gesture towards his first car caught Anand Mahindra's eyes and he showered Alam with praises.
"Now that's what I call a Rise story... Scorpio Rising to the Rooftop," he tweeted last week. "My salaams & appreciation to the owner. We salute his affection for his first car!"
He followed this tweet up with another with a clearer image of the water tank and declared it as the benchmark for all future Mahindra products.
"From now on, the brand journey of any of our products will not be complete unless at least one customer bases her/his water tank design on it!" he wrote.
Reportedly, Alam spent Rs. 2.5 lakh on the construction of the water tank. Labourers who worked on it were paid Rs. 1,200 as daily wage.
