The ethos of the Mahindra Group centres around effecting a positive change in the lives of the people and communities we engage with through our businesses and initiatives. The Mahindra Kabira Festival helps us further these ideas and reinforces our commitment to the arts.

Loved listening to the melodious singing, watching the ganges flow by at 6:30 am in the morning

The river and the heritage walk, The Mornings by the Ganges, listening to Kabir while Benares goes about its daily activites - Loved it!

The 'Kabira' songs, the warm vibrant people, the river ganges, The event in this setting and the wonderful hospitality. I also liked walking along the ghats- but how can I forget the 'climbs' everyday. These have also made us fitter. A private dip in the 'sacred ganges' for ladies should be organised

Thank you to the Mahindra Kabira team, Teamwork, the volunteers, and everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for making Dec 19-22 truly memorable.

“My wife Karthigai and I attended the Mahindra Kabira Festival in Varanasi in December 2025 for the first time so not really knowing what to expect. We are wonderfully surprised by the Unique and Special setting on the Ganges; the incredible array of musicians; the interesting talks and of course the array of delicious local cuisines. Thank you and your team for your wonderful hospitality and looking after us so well. Looking forward to attending future festivals now that we are aware of the quality and variety being offered.

What an amazing trip - truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to Teamworks, the organizers, and the volunteers for going the extra mile every day.  From perfectly handled and tailored logistics for each delegate, to the food coma thanks to the incredible meals. The curation of artists was outstanding - so inspiring and enriching to learn from them. Already can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you Sanjoy. And team MKF. Grateful for attention to details and great hospitality. Loved the discourse and #KabirInEverySense. The magic of the city was surreal as always.

( Soham Shukla Delegate 2025 )

A wonderful event so well curated and organised by the organisers, the team at Teamworks, Caterers and all the volunteers. Everyone was so hospitable, humble and courteous. The performances were fabulous, food was delicious and so meticulously planned and served. Volunteers actually redefined volunteering and spoiled us, to say the least.We were overwhelmed. Kudos to the entire team.

( Rakesh Jain Delegate 2025 )

Thanks to my wife, we discovered Kabira festival and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The arrangements are complicated but were taken care of with precision. Programmes were too good and food - every one has said it all. All this and Sanjoy takes no credit for it and he owes it to the wonderful team and volunteers.
