Business Tycoon Anand Mahindra posted an image from Tech Mahindra Ltd's Annual General Meeting on Tuesday sharing his 'most difficult' moment from the meeting which was wearing a suit again after months. The Mahindra Group Chairman added that this time, however, he dressed up fully, with trousers instead of lungis under his jacket. 

Anand Mahindra's lungi reference came from one of his tweets earlier this year where he had joked about how the pandemic and lockdown had made work from home the new norm, the best part of which was not having to dress up formally. He had also shared his personal anecdote of how he would often pair up his formal shirts with lungis underneath since only his top half would be visible during the video call meetings.
