How Hero MotoCorp Started?
Hello friends, today I'm going to discuss a popular and world's largest two-wheeler vehicle manufacturing brand - Hero MotoCorp and how it started? This corporation was founded by Brijmohan Lal Munjal along with his two brothers even before the independence of India.
He dreamt of making a successful two-wheeler that could be a comfortable and cheap facility for the poor for transportation. But he did not have enough money to make his dream come true. And thus, he started selling parts of the cycle.
You must be wondering how could a person establish such a big manufacturing company with a background of selling cycle parts. So let's get to know the success story of Hero group.
The story starts with the birth of Brijmohan Lal Munjal in 1923 in the undivided country of India. Years later, with his two brothers, he came to Amritsar and somehow managed to get a stall for selling cycle parts. With time and growth of the business, he gathered some money.
