The vast array of businesses in which Mahindra & Mahindra is involved is as wide ranging and surprising as India itself.

With more than 60 years of manufacturing experience, the Mahindra Group has built a strong base in technology, engineering, marketing and distribution. The Group employs more than 30,000 people and has several state-of-the-art facilities in India and overseas.

M&M has had licensing and technical collaboration deals with companies around the world, including in the US, Germany, France, Japan, Singapore and Britain. The Mahindra Group has ambitious global aspirations: it already has a presence in five continents, with its products available in every continent except Antarctica. Its tractors have been on sale in Australia for a couple of years.

M&M has made strategic acquisitions of plants in China, the United Kingdom & Europe, and has 3 tractor assembly plants in the USA. Its global subsidiaries include Mahindra Europe Srl. based in Italy, Mahindra USA Inc. and Mahindra South Africa.

It has entered into partnerships with international companies like Renault SA, France, and International Truck and Engine Corporation, USA.

The US $3.8 billion Mahindra Group is one of the top 10 industrial houses in India. M&M is one of the top 5 tractor manufacturers in the world and is the market leader in multi-utility vehicles in India.

It has a leading presence in key sectors of the Indian economy, including trade and financial services (Mahindra Intertrade, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd.), automotive components, information technology & telecom (Tech Mahindra, Bristlecone), and infrastructure development (Mahindra GESCO, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd., Mahindra World City).

Acres is one of the world's leading consulting engineering firms, with expertise in planning, engineering and project management. It has provided imaginative and cost-effective engineering solutions to clients throughout North America and around the world for more than seven decades. The company's business lines encompass the power sector (hydro-electric, thermal, and transmission and distribution), transportation (air, water and ground transportation), mining and heavy industries. Its services include planning, design and project and environmental management in the civil, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and geo-technical disciplines.

In addition to capturing the domestic market, M&M's Farm Equipment Sector has also had significant success internationally. Whilst around 90% of M&M's tractor exports are to the USA, M&M also exports tractors to neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, as well as African countries like Uganda, Nigeria and Zambia.

India has become interesting for global auto majors. Its car industry is growing a brisk rate of more than 16 per cent.

The component sourcing industry is also growing. Global auto majors have been ramping up component volumes and value of sourcing from India. The industry is poised to more than treble its exports in 4 years, from $US 1.8 billion in 2004-05 to $US 5.9 billion in 2008-09.

In 2002, it launched the indigenously engineered world-class Sports Utility vehicle, which bridges the gap between style & adventure, luxury & ruggedness, performance & economy.

In information technology M&M's Bristlecone's capabilities are surprising. It has an established track record of value creation for clients in industries such as high tech, footwear and apparel, oil and gas, consumer product and automotive. Its clients include Motorola, Palm, Nike, Unilever, General Motors, Shell and Pennzoil.

M&M even gets involved in consumer goods distribution in India. Its clients include such leading brands as LEGO, Walt Disney, Aqua and LadyBird.
