Freedom is the feeling of just you and the open road. The drive liberates, it romances serendipity. 6 am sunrises and 6 pm sunsets. With music in your ears and wind in your hair, cruise down the unending roads, take an occasional glance in the rear-view, smile and leave behind a beautiful memory. The sound of your engine changing to a roar every time you step on the gas and the feeling of finally getting to where you want to be. Welcome to the Mahindra Open Drive, a 2-day festival of people from across the country on November 8 & 9 at Bandodkar Grounds, Panjim, Goa
Experience an amazing line-up of international and local musicians, adventure, specially curated food & flea and guess what? You can also join the rising tribe and do a little, give a little and smile a lot.
The Drive
Collect your favorite people and plan your road trip to Goa with Mahindra Open Drive. It is one of India’s most iconic journeys – not as much for the drive itself as what that act is representative of: a sense of camaraderie and togetherness. Be warned. There is no big reward or no prize money, but the drive packs in ten hours of close time with friends and family, and that’s the spirit Mahindra Open Drive celebrates and stands for. So buckle up to drive down for the sense of community, the solidarity that you envision for the world around you. Show support for – and celebrate – the good in society. Not your average spin around the corner, is it?

The Fundraising
The Mahindra Open Drive doctrine embraces the ‘do a little, give a little, smile a lot’ ideology. Put simply, the festival encourages attendees to find happiness in recognizing and celebrating the good deeds done by people and contributing to individuals and institutions that make them happen. In line with this, the prime intent for the fundraising for the festival has six underpinning causes:
Education
Healthcare
Safety
Livelihood
Environment
Rights & inclusion
Through fundraising initiatives, festival goers – or the Tribe – are able to pledge monetary aid to a cause they believe in, put the spotlight on NGOs and partner organizations actively involved in making change happen, and rope in friends and family to drum up vocal (and social media) support.
