Time To Consider ‘Wearable’ Umbrellas For Rainy Days: Anand Mahindra

Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra and Mahindra, known for his active presence on social media, recently shared a video demonstrating a unique approach to staying dry during Mumbai’s monsoon season.

In the video, posted on Saturday, Mr Mahindra highlighted the consistent rainfall in Mumbai with the caption, “Finally, we’re seeing some consistent rain in Mumbai this monsoon. Not heavy enough for our liking, but it’s probably time to plan our ‘wardrobe for wetness.’ It may be a good idea to think about a ‘wearable’ umbrella. Clever.”

The video features a man who ingeniously modified his umbrella to be hands-free by attaching two hangers to its handle, transforming it into a makeshift backpack. This straightforward yet efficient solution enables people to stay dry without sacrificing the use of their hands.

Since being shared, the video has amassed around 5 lakh views and 6,000 likes. The post drew many positive responses on social media, with users praising the innovative concept.
