About Hero
Country of Origin:
India
Founder:
Brijmohan Lall Munjal (Hero Group); motorcycle era as Hero MotoCorp
Best Known For:
High-volume, ultra-reliable commuters (Splendor, HF series) and massive service network
Company History
Hero MotoCorp is the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer by unit volume, a status earned by building simple, durable commuters that fit India’s roads and wallets. The Splendor and HF families became cultural fixtures—air-cooled efficiency, easy spares, and service centers in towns large and small. Hero’s long joint venture with Honda defined quality and manufacturing discipline; post-split, Hero invested heavily in its own R&D, emissions compliance, and exports. The company’s reach—dealers everywhere, mechanics trained on familiar engines, and financing for first-time buyers—makes two-wheel mobility accessible to millions. In recent years Hero pushed into premium and adventure segments and expanded EV plans, but its core remains reliability math: low running costs, high uptime, and bikes that survive daily abuse. Historically, Hero reshaped India’s mobility landscape, enabling commutes, micro-entrepreneurship, and social mobility at immense scale. The brand’s mantra—fill the tank, change the oil, ride—still defines independence for families across the subcontinent.
