The chess prodigy, who secured the runner-up position in the FIDE World Cup, was pledged an all-electric SUV by Mahindra. Although Praggnanandhaa couldn't clinch the championship title in the FIDE Chess World Cup, his journey has been nothing short of inspiring, making him a beacon for others in pursuit of their dreams. Following his defeat in the final, Anand Mahindra made a significant announcement on social media, where The Mahindra Group vowed to present Praggnanandhaa with an all-electric SUV in recognition of his achievements in chess.
