History
Our story began in 1945 with two men JC and KC Mahindra on a mission.The mission driven by the core idea that people will succeed if given an opportunity was to bring the iconic Jeep onto Indian roads.


Founded in 1945 as a steel trading company, Mahindra & Mahindra entered automotive manufacturing in 1947 to bring the iconic Willys Jeep onto Indian defence. Seven decades in the making, our history is definitive of the growth of modern India. It is a story with an upward curve, of how an Indian company and all the associations that arise with that phrase rose to become a global powerhouse. Early pioneers of globalization, the Mahindra brothers collaborated with a wide range of international companies and before long, Mahindra's reach extended beyond steel to defence, aerospace, transportation, tractors, telecom, and more.
