Sheetal Devi, an armless archer, captivated the world with her inspiring journey to the Paris 2024 Paralympics, where she won a medal in the mixed team compound category. Touched by her remarkable achievement, Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, pledged to gift her an SUV, a promise he recently fulfilled.
Mahindra shared photos of the Scorpio N delivery to Devi on social media, expressing his admiration for her talent, determination, tenacity, and focus. He recounted his meeting with the archer, noting the strength and resilience that clearly runs in her family. He also mentioned that she gifted him an arrow, which he considered a priceless symbol of her identity and unwavering spirit.
The Mahindra Scorpio N was presented to Devi in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, shortly after her 18th birthday. This popular SUV, known for its robust build and available with both diesel and petrol engines and optional 4×4, is built on a ladder-frame chassis. Devi’s Scorpio N is powered by either a 2.0-litre turbo petrol or a 2.2-litre diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Overwhelmed with gratitude!
