Not at all: Anand Mahindra has once again taken the cake when it comes to making a very funny person out of himself-another respected and admired business leader in India. Quite popular for the engaging and well-informed presence he has on Twitter, Anand keeps coming up with inspirational facets, social observations, and even sharp retorts to critics. This time around, however, his original sense for ridicule lay in a reaction to a made-up Adidas shoe brand.
The Viral ‘Ajitdas’ Shoes
Completely logical. It just means that Adi has a brother called Ajit. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam? 😊 pic.twitter.com/7W5RMzO2fB

Mahindra recently shared images of a white sneaker on his Twitter page, which looked like the Adidas shoe-it even had the famous-three stripes trademark with which the products are associated. However, on a closer examination, instead of globally recognized “Adidas,” it was labelled “Ajitdas.” This funny fake product has become the talk of social media: netizens cracking jokes about it.
With that signature wit, Mahindra tweeted in response to the photograph:
“I’m sure it’s completely logical. It just means that Adi has a brother called Ajit. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam?”
This comment made a fine reference to a Sanskrit saying indicating that “the whole world is one family,” as Mahindra cleverly turned the fake brand into a funny interpretation of brotherhood, suggesting that “Ajitdas” could just be a long-lost, disreputable sibling of Adidas.
Social Media Reactions
Within no time, Mahindra’s tweet started going viral with the entry of thousands of reactions from amused netizens. Many users joined in the fun, adding their own theories about the not-so-foreign relative origin of the line.
One Twitter user commented:
“Adi means first, Ajit means invincible. Something seems related. Adid as well as Ajitdas are cousins.”
Another said about an old college myth:
“We used to say that Adidas was created by two Indian brothers- Adi and Das who took their idea to abroad. Apparently, there was a third brother who we never knew about!”
Some even complimented Mahindra for his fun-loving attitude and applauded him for positively interacting with most trending topics in a humorous way.
Mahindra’s Twitter Persona
For the record, this is not the first viral moment made by Anand Mahindra’s Twitter activity. He shares motivational stories, responds to trolls on social media with grace, and builds a reputation of an engaging digital personality beyond being just a business tycoon.
He shares Monday motivation daily, praises innovation startups, and never hesitates to rebut critics with classy comebacks. His ability to maintain humor, intellect, and business insights made him highly approachable to millions of followers.
Final Thoughts
Especially in a world where social media often becomes the locus of negative commentary, such a witty, lighthearted turn of fake Adidas shoes by Anand Mahindra brought an instant breath of fresh air in the form of laughter. As always, the tenor of the remark-“Ajitdas”-captures his style: intelligent, humorous, and always engaging.
And as that tweet unfolds, one thing becomes quite clear: be it business or banter, Anand Mahindra knows how to make an impact!
