Do You Know That..?..Pakistan's 1st Finance Minister was Mahindra's Co-owner

In 1945, two enterprising brothers named J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra joined forces with Ghulam Mohammed and started Mahindra & Mohammed as a steel company in Mumbai.  Two years later, India won its independence, Ghulam Mohammed left the company to become Pakistan’s first finance minister, and the Mahindra brothers ignited the company's enduring growth with their decision to manufacture Willys jeeps in Mumbai.  Mahindra and an independent India began their rise together.The company’s new name?  Mahindra & Mahindra, of course.
