Who is Pawan Munjal?

Pawan Munjal belongs to the family that has promoted India’s $ 5 billion Hero Group of Companies. He is Managing Director and CEO of Hero Motocorp, a company that produces and sells motorcycles and scooters. Pawan Munjal heads a company that was set up in India three decades ago as an equal equity venture with Honda of Japan. Recently, Hero Motocorp became India’s first automobile company to cross cumulative production of 50 million.

In 2011, Hero and Honda parted ways. According to Pawan Munjal, when you become this large you want to take your brand global. You want to be nimble and quick. Munjal displayed gumption in jettisoning the Honda name in his branding a mere eight months after the divorce, even though he could have used it until 2014, when Honda's technology support ends.Business Today
