In the bustling city of Hyderabad, Anand Mahindra, the eminent Chairman of Mahindra Group, regularly engages with denizens on various social media platforms, sharing insights and fostering a culture of ingenuity and skill. Recently, he pledged employment to a 13-year-old girl who exhibited remarkable presence of mind, safeguarding both herself and her young niece from the clutches of marauding monkeys with the aid of Amazon’s virtual assistant, ‘Alexa’.
In the current epoch characterized by technological advancement, the pivotal question that looms before us is whether we shall succumb to the servitude of technology or retain our sovereignty over it. However, witnessing the astute actions of this young girl instills hope within us that technology shall always be subservient to the commands of humanity. Her conduct is indeed astonishing. Should she opt to venture into the corporate realm upon completion of her education, we extend a cordial invitation for her to join the ranks of Mahindra Rise,” expressed the post.
Following the dissemination of Mahindra’s post, jubilation rippled across the digital realm as netizens lauded the decision. One netizen jubilantly declared, “We shall assert our mastery over technology.” Another concurred, remarking, “The ingenuity she displayed in that moment was truly remarkable…the cognitive prowess exhibited by today’s youth surpasses conventional bounds.”
Hailing from the Basti district of Uttar Pradesh, a young girl named Nikita found herself confronted with a dire situation as she frolicked with her niece, Vamika, aged merely 15 months, amidst the intrusion of a band of monkeys into their abode. The simians wreaked havoc, causing chaos by hurling utensils and ruining provisions.
Despite the absence of any immediate familial assistance, the resolute girl remained undaunted. Engaging her faculties with remarkable acumen, she promptly summoned the aid of Alexa, the virtual assistant domiciled within their residence. With a decisive command, “Alexa… emit canine-like vocalizations,” she directed. Instantly, Alexa commenced emitting a series of resonant barks akin to that of a dog. Startled by the auditory assault, the simians swiftly fled the premises, vanquished by the unexpected auditory deterrent.
