Indian billionaire and business tycoon, Anand Mahinra Saturday lauded Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman’s dream project NEOM and its CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr. Taking to social media platform X, Anand Mahindra also shared glimpses of NEOM – a multi-trillion dollar project that includes smart towns, port and enterprise sectors, research centres, sports and entertainment venues and tourism centres along with a 170-kilometre-long city called THE LINE.
Being built in Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia, NEOM however is facing criticism with many calling it “unrealistic”. Anand Mahindra however lavished his praise saying the “world will soon realise that NEOM is not just a mirage in the desert”.
"Project @NEOM , envisioned by HRH Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, seemed to most to be just a figment of the imagination. Something out of a George Lucas dreamscape. But after meeting Nadhmi Al-Nasr, the CEO of NEOM (I would define him as No-Nonsense Nadhmi!), I realised that under his steerage they are actually pulling this off. As the months and years go by, the world will recognise that NEOM is not just a mirage in the desert," Anand Mahindra posted on X, formerly Twitter.
