Mahindra Swaps Corporate Gear for Community Spirit: A Day at Kutumela Molefe Primary

At Mahindra, making a difference goes far beyond the showroom floor. On a bright Saturday morning, a vibrant team of 26 volunteers from Mahindra Head Office traded their corporate wear for casual clothes, rolled up their sleeves, and headed out for a heartwarming day of community service at Kutumela Molefe Primary School.

Armed with paint buckets, brushes, and boundless enthusiasm, the Mahindra team arrived early to find the school in desperate need of some TLC. Cracked walls, faded colors, and worn-out classrooms were met with determination and smiles as the team set to work. The project was clear: bring color, life, and positivity back into the classrooms—and that’s exactly what they did.

The school grounds soon echoed with laughter and teamwork as the volunteers painted seven classrooms and a double-classroom block. Under the warm sun, what began as a modest mission quickly turned into a vibrant celebration of community, connection, and change.

By the end of the day, what stood before them was a transformed school—a fresh coat of paint, a renewed sense of pride, and a symbol of hope for the learners who would soon walk through those doors. The gratitude from the school community was immediate and heartfelt. Teachers and staff expressed their appreciation, and students sent a collective “thumbs up” and a huge thank you to the Mahindra team.

As the volunteers returned to their offices, paint-splattered but proud, there was a shared sense of joy and accomplishment. It was a reminder that even a simple act—like spending a Saturday painting—can leave a lasting impact.

At Mahindra, we don’t just drive vehicles; we drive change. And this day at Kutumela Molefe Primary is a testament to what’s possible when we come together with purpose, heart, and a bit of color.
