The brothers initially started a business by supplying components to manufacturers of bicycles in and around Amritsar. After the partition in 1947 the Munjal family completely shifted their base from Pakistan to Ludhiana. At that point and still today Ludhiana was an important destination for manufacturing and industry hub of bicycles and textiles.
