Anand Mahindra praises IIT graduates for building home gym; netizens react to its staggering price

“No rocket science here. But a clever convergence of mechanics and physical therapy principles to design a product that has global potential,” Mahindra wrote, emphasising its practicality for “small apartments and even in business hotel rooms.”

The post has received almost eight lakh views. The post also got the attention of one of the graduates out of the four, Aman Rai. He commented on the post, “Thanks a lot sir! Means a lot coming from you.”

The post also got likes and comments from X users. One user wrote, “Modern-day problem need modern day solution, that is the mantra IITians follow.” Another individual added, “This is going to be a huge value addition in apartment rental features.”

However, many users were not impressed with the product. While some pointed out its staggering price, others alleged that the design has been copied from an American product.

“Zero industry experience, no domain experience, no practical consumer research or product fitment and then a staggering price point. Amazing ! What is happening to kids in IITs these days, 20 years back we used to be much more pragmatic and realistic,” a person wrote on X, responding to Mahindra. “Two companies are already doing it in the US,” wrote another user.
