It
has now been more than a century since the Kirloskar story started. In the 100
years and more that they have been in existence as a family and as an organisation,
they have been seminal to Indian agricultural and industrial development. They
gave India its first iron plough, pump and engine; inventions that were born from
the need of the hour and went on to become signs of the time. That is why kirloskar
group history can in many ways be considered a history of the economic and industrial
revolution in India.
