THE HERO STORY

The Hero Group is one of the leading business conglomerates in the world.
The company saw its humble beginning in 1956 when the four Munjal brothers
migrated to Ludhiana from Kamalia (now in Pakistan). As first-generation
entrepreneurs, they started out by manufacturing bicycle components and then
rapidly expanding the business. From there, they continued their growth story
by diversifying and deepening their expertise across domains.

Today, the US $5 billion diversified Hero Group is a conglomerate of Indian

companies with primary interests and operations in automotive
manufacturing, financing, renewable energy, electronics and education.
