Though a lot of books and even so called historians will claim that Alexander lost to King Porus, it is not verified.
What is verified is that, Alexander was impressed by the bravery and the fighting strength of Porus and did bow down to him.
As a lot of others have written, Alexander never lost, but was fatigue that forced him to move back and eventually die.
Alexander's mission was to reach the end of the world.

hi!!!!!
Alexander the Great Megas Alexandros; July 20 356 BC–June 10, 323 BC), also known as Alexander III, king of Macedon (336–323 BC), was one of the most successful military commanders in history.
The name 'Alexander' derives from the Greek words
Before his death, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks.
Alexander conquered the Persian Empire, including Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Judea, Gaza, Egypt, Bactria and Mesopotamia and extended the boundaries of his own empire as far as the Punjab. Before his death,
Alexander had already made plans to also turn west and conquer Europe. He also wanted to continue his march eastwards in order to find the end of the world, since his boyhood tutor Aristotle told him tales about where the land ends and the Great Outer Sea begins. Alexander integrated foreigners into his army, leading some scholars to credit him with a "policy of fusion." He encouraged marriage between his army and foreigners, and practiced it himself.
After twelve years of constant military campaigning, Alexander died, possibly of malaria, West Nile virus, typhoid, viral encephalitis or the consequences of heavy drinking
His conquests ushered in centuries of Greek settlement and cultural influence over distant areas, a period known as the Hellenistic Age, a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern culture. Alexander himself lived on in the history and myth of both Greek and non-Greek cultures. After his death (and even during his life) his exploits inspired a literary tradition in which he appears as a legendary hero in the tradition of Achilles.

Alexander never lost a battle. Eventually his army just got homesick and refused to go any further. Thats it.
