EXPANSION Mahindra and an independent India began their rise together. In 1945, two enterp rising brothers named J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra joined forces with Ghulam Mohammed and started Mahindra & Mohammed as a steel company in Mumbai. Two years later, India won its independence, Ghulam Mohammed left the company to become P akistan's first finance minister, and the Mahindra brothers ignited the company' s enduring growth with their decision to manufacture Willys jeeps in Mumbai. The company's new name? Mahindra & Mahindra, of course. The Mahindra brothers believed that new modes of transportation could be a key t o India's prosperity, so one of their first goals was to build rugged, simple ve hicles capable of tackling the Indian terrain. Early pioneers of globalization, the brothers collaborated with a wide range of international companies and befor e long, Mahindra's reach extended to steel, tractors, telecom, and more. Now, after 65 years, Mahindra has grown from a humble local outfit to a US $15.9 billion corporation employing 155,000 people around the world. It's been quite an adventure so far, and we're proud of our global leadership in utility vehicle s, tractors, and information technology, as well as our significant presence in financial services, leisure and hospitality, engineering, trade, and logistics. As we accelerate into the 21st century, we'll continue to pursue innovative idea s that enable people to rise. The Mahindra Group's foray into the two-wheeler segment began with the acquisiti on of business assets of Kinetic Motor Company Ltd. (KMCL) in 2008 extending Mah indra's pedigree into the two wheeler space. We've come a long way, but the jour ney has just begun.

THE VISION Mahindra & Mahindra took birth when K.C. Mahindra visited USA as Chairman of the India Supply Mission. There, he met Barney Roos, inventor of the rugged 'genera l purpose vehicle' or Jeep and had a flash of inspiration: wouldn't a vehicle th at had proved its invincibility on the battlefields of World War II be ideal for India's rugged terrain and its kutcha rural roads?
