• He rewarded its inventor with this year’s ‘Innovation Award’.
• The tweet has had over 3.7 million views since it was shared two days ago, and is still growing.

Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra, keeps his Twitter followers engaged and entertained with his engrossing, inspiring, smart, and funny posts. This time, he took to the micro-blogging platform to publish a video of the world’s ‘lowest cost treadmill’ and rewarded its inventor with this year’s ‘Innovation Award’. While many people in the comments used laughing emoticons and laughed about the ‘treadmill,’ others warned that it is dangerous and should not be attempted at home.

“The lowest cost treadmill in the world. And this year’s Innovation Award trophy goes to…,” tweeted Anand Mahindra after uploading the video. The video begins with a man strolling around his kitchen barefoot and spilling dishwashing detergent on the floor. He then drops water on the floor and uses his foot to mix it with dishwashing liquid to make it slippery. As the video progresses, he can be seen walking on the floor like a treadmill. He even accelerates up near the end while holding the kitchen slab.
