Tech Mahindra Chairman Anand Mahindra may have predicted the upcoming smartphone technology. In a recent post shared on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), Mahindra reflected on the evolution of cell phones, from their early forms to the present day, while expressing curiosity about the potential for brain-implanted mobile technology, similar to Elon Musk-owned neurotech company Neuralink‘s advancements.
The X post shared by Mahindra includes a clip that shows the evolution of mobile phones from their invention in 1991 to the present day. While sharing the video, Mahindra wrote: “Fascinating. Yes, I’ve been around long enough to witness each and every one of these avatars of the ubiquitous cell phone. But I’m not sure I want to be around long enough to see a cellphone be installed and implanted in our brains!”
Anand Mahindra praises technology on X
This is not the first time Mahindra has praised other innovations. In October 2024, he took to X to praise four IIT Delhi graduates for inventing Aroleap X, a smart, wall-mounted home gym designed for small spaces. The compact equipment offers 150+ exercises, AI-powered training, and 100 hours of fitness content, catering to urban living trends. Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath has also invested in the startup.
In his post, Mahindra wrote: “Home gym created by 4 IIT grads. No rocket science here. But a clever convergence of mechanics & physical therapy principles to design a product that has global potential. In small apartments & even in Business Hotel rooms! Bravo!”
Earlier, in August last year, Mahindra shared a video on X featuring a Chinese man’s innovative mosquito-killing device amid rising dengue cases. The machine uses a laser and radar system to target mosquitoes, which Mahindra likened to an “Iron Dome” for homes, referencing Israel’s missile defense system. He expressed interest in acquiring the device.
“With dengue on the rise in Mumbai, I’m trying to figure out how to acquire this miniature cannon, invented by a Chinese man, which can seek out & destroy mosquitoes! An Iron Dome for your Home…,” he wrote.
