Hero MotoCorp chairman Pawan Munjal avoids media on discussing companies plan

Hero MotoCorp chairman Pawan Munjal is used to a barrage of questions from the media about the company’s plans for the two-wheeler market.

At a recent media briefing, though, a media person asked Munjal whether he had recruited chief technical officer Markus Braunsperger from BMW with an eye on making a four-wheeler in the future.

A bewildered Munjal, who is in the midst of a battle to stave off Hero’s old partner Honda and other peers from gnawing at the company’s market share in the motorcycle segment, said wryly, “With all that you want us to do in two-wheelers, please don’t distract him. I would really want him to focus.”
