Building on a formidable legacy | Hero Vired

Hero is a household name in India, mostly known as the world’s largest bike manufacturer from India. But beyond bikes, the Hero group also has interests in training and education. 

This episode is about the journey of Akshay Munjal who leads Hero group initiatives in the space of upskilling.

Akshay Munjal shares his first-hand experience of watching the Hero Group founder Brijmohan Lall Munjal build up Hero into a truly remarkable business. 

He talks about his personal journey of first running the corporate training venture Hero Mindmine, then setting up the BML Munjal University, and finally creating Hero Vired as an ed-tech platform to train the youth on next-generation skills at scale. 

Despite his background, Akshay remains grounded with his focus on creating solutions for large scale impact, and he shares his insights from building both an edtech and a traditional educational institute.
