Where Passion Meets Off-Road Adventure — an exclusive Mahindra Thar community exploring Tamil Nadu and beyond.
Itstartedbeforesunrise.
Founded in 2021 by Mr. Aravind Shankar, TRAILBORN began with a simple vision — to bring Mahindra Thar owners together as one family, where beginners are welcomed, knowledge is shared, safety comes first, and every trail ends with new friendships. What started as weekend trail drives quickly became a way of life. Today the club has grown into a thriving community of 240+ members, united by a shared passion for exploration, responsible off-roading, and the spirit of brotherhood.
TRAILBORN is an exclusive Mahindra Thar 4x4 community based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, bringing together passionate off-road enthusiasts who share a love for adventure, exploration, responsible off-roading, and brotherhood. More than just a vehicle community, we are a family that promotes teamwork, skill development, safety, and unforgettable experiences through trails, expeditions, training sessions, meetups, and social initiatives. Beyond adventure, the club actively contributes to society through flood rescue operations, food distribution, and emergency relief during natural calamities.
Vision
To make Tamil Nadu a recognized destination for off-road adventure, automotive lifestyle, responsible exploration, and community-driven initiatives.
Mission
To build South India's largest and most active Mahindra Thar community while promoting responsible off-roading, safety, environmental awareness, skill development, and strong community values.

Brotherhood Over Competition
We ride as one family. The friendships forged on the trail matter more than any finish line.
Safety Before Speed
Driver briefings, convoy discipline, spotters, and recovery protocols — safety is the highest priority at every event.
Adventure With Responsibility
We push boundaries while respecting nature, local communities, and the trails we are privileged to explore.
Learn Together, Grow Together
Every trail is a learning experience. We share knowledge freely so beginners become confident off-roaders.
Respect for Nature
Responsible off-roading means treading lightly and leaving every terrain better than we found it.
Teamwork & Discipline
Six marshal groups, strong event discipline, and members who all contribute to the club's success.
