INTRODUCTION“Don’t dream if you can’t fulfill your dreans”

Brijmohan Lall Munjal is often fond of saying. The founder and patriach of the $2.2 billon

Hero Group is your classic first generation entrepreneur.

He is a man who started small, dreams big used a combinationof grit and preseverance to create one of the country’s largest corporate groups and the World’s No. 1 Two wheeler company.

HISTORY Instinctive from a young age, Brijmohan lall

made a rather unusual start in life. Around the time when the freedom movement in India was taking shape in the late 1920s,he walked into a newly opened GURUKUL(Indian heritage school) near his home in Kamalia(now in Pakistan).He was only six years old.

Thus began an extraordinary tale of courage and preseverance.Brijmohan began his business story after partition in 1947, when he and his brothers relocated to Ludhiana. The family set up a company that provided poor people with basic transport(cycles).

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPSWhen Brijmohan and his brothers started out ,there was no concept of organized dealer networks. Brijmohan built a series of bonds and networks with hundreds of family members,vendors,dealers and employees.Much like the japenese keiretsu system,these networks are now the that holds the Hero Group together.“Thank to the relationships that we have nutured so passionately in the Hero Family, the younger generations of some of our bicycles dealers have become dealers of Hero Honda.These relatonships have survied through generations through bad times and good time.

STAYING AHEADBrijmohan Lall always visualize the applicability of technology before others could. For example, in the 1980s, when all two-wheeler companies in India opted for two-stroke engine technology, Brijmohan preferred a four-stoke engine - a technology that dramatically increased fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. This technology was one of the biggest reasons for Hero Honda’s scuess.

Brijmohan managed to steal a march over his industry peers. For example, when Honda Motors of Japan was looking for a collaborator in the 1980s, the Hero Group was not high up the pecking order initially as there were other more eligible and established suitors.
