Hero's journey started with bicycle parts:

Let us tell you that Brijmohan Lal Munjal was born on 1 July 1923 in Kamalia, undivided India, which is located in Toba Tek Singh district of present-day Punjab, Pakistan. He came to Amritsar from Kamalia in 1944 at the age of 20 with his three brothers Dayanand, Satyanand and Om Prakash. He started his career by working in the Indian Ordnance Factory.

Later, Munjal and his brothers started a bicycle parts business in Amritsar. Later he moved to Ludhiana, where in 1954 he founded Hero Cycles Limited and started manufacturing bicycle parts. Initially he made forks and then added handles and other parts.

When Hero became the world's largest bicycle company:

In 1956, the Punjab government issued a license to manufacture bicycles. His company got this license and from here his world changed. With financial assistance of Rs 6 lakh from the government and its own capital, Hero Cycles entered into bicycle manufacturing by obtaining the status of "Large Scale Unit". At that time the annual production capacity of the company was 7,500 bicycles. By 1975, it had become India's largest bicycle company and in 1986, Hero Cycles was recorded in the Guinness Book as the world's largest bicycle company.

This is how Hero-Honda started:

Brijmohan Lal Munjal of the bicycle company started a two-wheeler company named Hero Majestic. In this, he started making Majestic scooters and mopeds. In 1984, he made a deal with Japan's big auto company Honda and from here Hero-Honda started. In collaboration with Honda, he set up the first motorcycle plant in Dharuhera, Haryana. On April 13, 1985, Hero Honda's first bike CD 100 came in the market. The journey that started with bicycle ports has today reached the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, which continues uninterrupted.
