On Tuesday, Mahindra revealed to his 7.4 million followers on Twitter that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was also in the same Harvard class as he was in 1973.
As their father’s classmate, Gates’ success and achievements reduced Mahindra to a mere ‘loser’ in the eyes of his kids, the Indian industrialist has shared in good humour on the micro-blogging platform.
Mahindra took a nostalgic trip down memory lane and shared some previously unheard of tales today after Twitter user Ramesh Babu shared a monochromatic yesteryear screenshot of the (then young) Indian tycoon sitting and chatting with Gates in what appeared to be a meeting.
The screenshot was captured from a Netflix original docu-series titled – “Inside Bill’s Brain – Decoding Bill Gates” – that was released back in September this year.
As part of his tweet, Babu casually tagged Mahindra asking him what the discussion with Gates back then was all about.
To Babu’s delight, Mahindra answered his question and shared the funny story of his kids calling him a “loser” and comparing him to Bill Gates in a thread of tweets, informing his followers that the meeting was held in 1997, during Gates’ first ever trip to India.
