More than a century since the Kirloskar story started. It started with an aim of becoming the pioneers in fields in which our country needed innovation. In the 100 years and more that we have been in existence as a family and as an organization, we've been seminal to Indian agricultural and industrial development. We gave India its first iron plough, pump and engine; inventions that were devised from the need of the hour and went on to become signs of the time. Which is why our group history can in many ways can be considered a history of the economic and industrial revolution in India.

The founder and the first factory village The Kirloskar story starts with Laxmanrao Kirloskar, the founder. A man who believed that an understanding of one's environment and reality was essential to the manufacture of path-breaking industrial implements. From this steadfast belief was born the iron plough, the first Kirloskar product. Originally intended as an essential aid to agriculture, the plough soon became an icon of reform and revolution. A highlight of the early history of the group is Kirloskarvadi, India's first industrial township. A model factory-village created by Laxmanrao and his band of dedicated workers. In January 1910, when the Kirloskar were being ousted from Belgium to make room for a new suburb, they found themselves in dire need of a place to live and work. Sensing this need, the Raja of the princely state of Aundh, who admired and respected Laxmanrao Kirloskar, offered the latter all the land he needed in Aundh state. Two months later, Laxmanrao Kirloskar set foot on 32 acres of barren land strewn with cacti and infested with cobras. Driven by his faith in human ability, Laxmanrao banded together 25 workers and their families and succeeded in transforming the barren expanse into his dream village. Ramuanna, Laxmanrao's brother, planned and administered the township, Shamburao Jambhekar doubled as engineer and all-round healing man, K. K. Kulkarni, an unsuccessful student, became a manager, treasurer and odd jobs man, Mangeshrao Rege was the clerk and chief accountant, Anantrao Phalnikar, a school drop-out flowered into an imaginative engineer. Such was our founder's faith in the human being that, Tukaram Ramoshi and Pirya Mang, both convicted dacoits, became the trusted guards of Kirloskarvadi!

Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) - the first Kirloskar venture at Kirloskarvadi was to become the base for all of the Kirloskar Group's subsequent enterprises. It began as the only Indian company with its own standard products - the fodder cutter and the iron plough, which competed with the British products. KBL also manufactured groundnut shellers, sugarcane crushers and pumps, which were to usher in a new economic order in the Indian industry. To power these machines, diesel engines, coal gas

largest manufacturer of pumps and valves, and also the group's flagship company, KBL lends its strength and expertise to every new venture of the Kirloskar Group.

The intensified boycott of the British goods and the approaching World War threatened to stop imports of machine tools into India. The Kirloskar, with characteristic foresight began making machine tools. This paradigm shift of sorts, from farm implements to machine tools, created a new company - The Mysore Kirloskar Limited. This company, situated in Harihar, benefited greatly from the patronage of yet another Raja - the Maharaja of Mysore. In the first month of production, Mysore Kirloskar sold all of manufactured seven lathes. From colonialism to independence An important change, for the country, and for one of its premier industrial houses, the Kirloskar Group. The altered political climate of the 1940s heralded the end of the princely patronage for enterprise. The policy shifts and changes in authority were the order of the day. This marked a turning point for the group. Shantanurao Kirloskar, the eldest son of the founder traveled to Pune to initiate a new aspect of the group's activities - diesel engines. His experience of trying to secure the land for his factory in Pune was quite different from his father's in Kirloskarvadi. There was no benevolent ruler here to bestow acres gratis. Shantanurao had to face the tangle of red tape and public resistance to acquisition of land for industrial purposes. Finally, after arguing that factories have a longer life than human beings Shantanurao Kirloskar won a place for Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. (KOEL), twelve months after signing an agreement of collaboration with Associated British Oil Engines Export Ltd. of UK. This collaboration, incidentally, was the first of its kind between an Indian and a foreign company, and signified a bridging of the technological gap between east and west. The KOEL factory was incorporated in 1946, and soon after that gave India her first vertical high-speed engine. Brijlal Sarda, who reported its satisfactory running for over 4 decades, bought this first engine! A new direction - services The phenomenal success of the Kirloskar name prompted entrepreneurs and businessmen of the time to approach the group for guidance and expertise. This gave birth to the concept of formalized engineering consultancy and a new company - Kirloskar Consultants Limited (KCL) in 1963. Marking an roads and environment. This paradigm shift saw the setting up of yet another service company - Pune Industrial Hotels Limited in 1964, the Kirloskar Group's first foray into hospitality. This company set up Hotel Blue Diamond in Pune and began to manage Hotel Pearl in Kolhapur. The Baker's Basket confectionery chain and the Hotel and Catering Consultancy Services (HOCON) were also set up.

To meet the changing demands of a global business environment and emerging economic trends, the Kirloskar Group has refocused and restructured its direction by concentrating on its core segment of agriculture, water supply, power, and air conditioning. By consciously opting out of hospitality, advertising and unreal services, the Group has channeled its potential in these core sectors.

Studies (KIAMS) was set up in 1991 by the Kirloskar Group to put into practice the thoughts of its illustrious leader, Mr.S.L. Kirloskar.Mr.S.L. Kirloskar, a doyen of Industry, was a visionary of a rare kind who possessed the drive and the determination to accomplish his vision. The emergence and subsequent success of the Kirloskar Group companies in the firmament of the engineering industry in India is a realization of his vision. KIAMS began with a thrust on Management Development Programmes (MDP) aimed primarily at the Kirloskar Group of Companies. Since inception, the Institute has conducted over 235 MDPs and trained over 5,000 managers. Several organisations outside the Kirloskar Group have also sponsored participants to these programmes. The Institute offers a variety of programmes both in general management and functional areas of management for managers at all levels. Review Periodic reviews by the management are needed to ensure that the system is performing effectively. In light of the audit results, the management may consider changes in its environment policy and objectives or, if need be, initiate action to tackle any major non-conformance. The benefits Implementation of ISO-14001 promises: Improved operational efficiency with better utilization of materials/resources, reduced costs and wastage and reduced pressure on the environment. Assurance to interested parties and increasing access to world markets encourages partnership between industry and the regulatory authority. It enhances corporate image, improves staff morale and the work environment. Importantly, it also helps in building an environment-conscious nation. The ISO-14001 Standard has been accepted enthusiastically by the Indian industry, with 25 companies receiving the certification as of October 1997 (Bajaj Auto, Godrej, INDAL, NALCO, IOC, etc.). By implementing this Standard, these companies have made substantial gains both in terms of saving on resources and preventing environmental degradation.

The philosophy of bringing Joy to the customer has at its base the idea that all industrial endeavors must positively impact life and society around it. Keeping this ideal in mind, the Kirloskar Group has made the fruits of industrial progress reach the people who make it possible in the form of townships, schools, social welfare foundations, hospitals, civic projects and environmental consciousness. illustration of what one man can do when he is fired with an ideal and goes in single minded pursuit of it, to achieve it. Late Mr. S. L. Kirloskar, a doyen of industrialists and an architect of Kirloskar Group of Industries, used to travel abroad very cities he visit and the tremendous civic sense of the people, always struck a chord in his heart. He enjoyed the supreme happiness these sights gave him. Naturally in his mind the inevitable comparison with our towns, cities and roads was there. He felt very sad for the lack of cleanliness, the filth and the absence of aesthetic sense here. While pondering over the matter, he came to the conclusion that it was necessary to bring about a sea change in the mindset of the citizens, especially about their ideas on cleanliness and hygiene at public places. In fact we, who contribute to the filth and shabbiness at public places like Railway Stations, S.T. Bus stands, vegetable markets,, parks, temples, cinema theatres, offices, schools , colleges are to be blamed. Creating entrepreneurs In the early period of industrialization in the country, particularly after independence in sixties and seventies, most of the maharashtrian youths had the ambition to seek an employment in Government or private enterprises. There were no development banks, management schools, or Government schemes to encourage entrepreneurship. Kirloskar group filled in the vacuum. It encouraged talented, skilled, promising persons, mostly from their own factories to start their own industrial units. Kirloskar Foundation was formed primarily to give loans and stand sureties and guarantors to the loans taken by these persons to start the ventures. In addition, Kirloskar group gave them, not only managerial, marketing, technical assistance but the Orders for their products and work for their machines. Hundreds of small scale units owe their existence to the pioneering work done by Kirloskar group for the industrialization in Maharashtra. Educational Scholarships There are various schemes either in the form of grant in aid or loan scholarships to the deserving but needy students to pursue the education in India or abroad. This is with a view to fulfilling a social obligation in a country in which there is a vast human talent and potential but scarce resources.
