Mahindra on Friday shared a series of photos showing how smartly an old car was recycled and used as an alternative for a roof of a house in Ladakh. According to his tweet, the photos of the creative solution was from Sonam Wangchuk’s Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, “where nothing gets discarded.”
Lauding the unique idea, he said, “Well this will compete with our auto-shredding venture but it’s far more creative!”
