PROFILE

DON'T DREAM IF YOU CAN'T FULFILL YOUR DREAMS


- Late Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal (1st July 1923 to 1st November 2015)
The founder and patriarch of the Hero Group was your classic first generation entrepreneur. He was a
man who started small, dreamt big and used a combination of grit and perseverance to create one of
the country's largest corporate groups and the World's No.1 Two Wheeler Company.
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 then.
Thus began an extraordinary tale of courage and perseverance. 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). Three decades later, as India evolved, he
added a second crucial chapter - which visualized affordable and technologically superior transport to
millions of middle class Indians. The rest is history.

Building Relationships
When Brijmohan and his brothers started out, there was no concept of organized dealer networks.
Companies just produced, and most dealers functioned like traders. Brijmohan changed the rules of
the business by trusting his gut instincts; introducing business norms that were ahead of their time,
and by investing in strategic relationships. Brijmohan built a series of bonds and networks with
hundreds of family members, vendors, dealers and employees. Much like the Japanese keiretsu
system, these networks are now the glue that holds the Hero Group together.
"Thanks to the relationships that we have nurtured so passionately in the Hero Family, the younger
generations of some of our bicycle dealers have become dealers of Hero MotoCorp. These

relationships have survived through generations - through bad times and good times" the patriarch
now reminiscences.
Besides bonding with his vendors and dealers, Brijmohan was personally responsible for kindling a
spirit of entrepreneurship amongst his employees, and today, 40 of his former employees are
successful entrepreneurs.

Staying Ahead
Though not technically qualified in the conventional sense, only a few of his contemporaries have
understood the dynamics of technology better than Brijmohan Lall had. He could 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-stroke engine a technology that dramatically increased fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. This
technology was one of the biggest reasons for Hero MotoCorp's stupendous success.

A Corporate Citizen
A frugal upbringing and a value system modeled on the famous Gurukul system - which stresses the
sanctity of the teacher-pupil relationship - imbibed in Brijmohan a strong sense of social commitment
and responsibility.
There was a special place in his heart for Ludhiana, the city where he took roots. Today, Ludhiana is a
modern, bustling city, but Brijmohan had played no mean role in its evolution. Several schools and
educational institutions in Ludhiana owe their existence to the Munjal family.
The Ludhiana Stock Exchange owes its existence to Brijmohan's vision as does the Ludhiana Flying
Club. He's also set up the not-for-profit Dayanand Medical College and Hospital-an institute now rated
as one of the best medical colleges in India, in terms of infrastructure, quality of staff and alumni
profile.
In and around Dharuhera, near the first Hero MotoCorp plant, Brijmohan and his family have left their
stamp of philanthropy. The Raman Kant Munjal Foundation - which Brijmohan set up in memory of his
eldest son, today runs a higher secondary school and a very modern and well-equipped 100-bed
hospital at Dharuhera. The group has also adopted numerous villages and provides education,
vocational training, drinking water, roads, streetlights and sewerage.
