His death was confirmed by Pawan K Goenka, chairman of Inspace, in a tweet.

"The industrial world has lost one of the tallest personalities today. Shri Keshub Mahindra had no match; the nicest person I had the privilege of knowing. I always looked forward to (meetings) with him and inspired by how he connected business, economics and social matters," he said.
