Dr Brijmohan Munjal 100th Anniversary celebrated as Founder's Ride | Jagran Business

On the occasion of Brijmohan Lall Munjal's 100th birthday, evo India honours this visionary leader's incredible journey. He was instrumental in making Hero MotoCorp the largest two-wheeler producer in the world. Munjal transformed a small-town bicycle component maker into a major international force through his relentless commitment, business savvy, and commitment to perfection. Let's explore the incredible development of Hero MotoCorp under his motivating direction.

Born on July 1st, 1923, in Kamalia, Punjab (now in Pakistan), Brijmohan Lall Munjal set out on a life-changing quest that would change the face of the Indian automobile industry. The Munjal family moved to Amritsar before settling in Ludhiana, where they started a business selling bicycle components in 1944. Despite the difficulties of division, the family persisted and began producing bicycle parts in the early 1950s.

A pivotal year for the family firm was 1956, when Hero Cycles got an industrial permit from the Punjab government to manufacture bicycles. Hero Cycles expanded quickly under Brijmohan Lall Munjal's leadership, eventually growing to become India's top bicycle manufacturer. The company's future success was built on Munjal's unwavering pursuit of quality and keen understanding of the Indian market.
