Profile
Half of all bikes sold in India are made by the patriarch's Hero MotoCorp, which remains the country's largest motorcycle-maker despite rivals such as Honda Motor and Bajaj Auto closing in. The $4.2 billion (revenues) company, which debuted on the Forbes Global 2000 list this year, aims to nearly double sales to 12 million bikes by 2020, with more than 1 million sold overseas. Hero has started building new factories in Colombia and Bangladesh. In what was seen as a move to name his successor, son Pawan, who runs the company, was appointed vice chairman in August.
Fast Fact: An avid golfer, Pawan hosted Tiger Woods in Delhi in February.
