Mahindra Mobility Services partnered with the AGNIi Mission for their Incubator Programme ‘Catapult’. Catapult is a 3-month programme providing various opportunities, including a chance to deploy one’s solution in a Mahindra Mobility business, access Mahindra Leadership as well as the associated partner ecosystem.
