K.P.Paul

K.P.Paul
In the year 1939, Mr. K. P. Paul started his business career with Popular Washing Home. He dared the tradition and society in this path breaking venture. It was a roaring success in six months time. This venture brought forth his daring nature that remained the backbone of his life and business in the years to come. He was a born leader and believed in employee empowerment and satisfaction. He had motivated employees who delivered impeccable customer service.

Mr. KP Paul was a visionary. In the year 1941 he diversified into tyre , tube vulcanizing and battery restoration business. When the 2nd world war came to a closure, he found ample opportunity in the spare parts business by procuring the surplus spare parts of military vehicles. In the year 1944, he established Popular Automobiles, perhaps India’s largest chain store dealing in spare parts. The business grew by exponential proposition and catapulted him to fame. He further forayed into imported and new automobile parts. It had a pan India presence with offices at Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and Calcutta.

Popular Vehicles was amongst the first batch of dealers appointed by Maruti Suzuki in the country, Established in the year 1984 by opening Maruti’s 1st outlet in the State of Kerala at Trivandrum. Our company has evolved rapidly over the years and we have grown from strength to strength. Our dedication and innovation have ensured synonymy of Popular with Maruti in Kerala. After establishing the business in Kerala we forayed into Chennai in the year 2002, perhaps the first dealer in the country to be offered a territory outside its home state. We have one of the largest networks for Maruti in the country consisting of 7 Arena, 5 NEXA, 1 Commercial, 42 Service centers, 6 Used Car outlets and 6 Driving Schools. We have always been the top of the mind dealer for Maruti and have been rated amongst the best for Innovation, Human Resource Development, Operating System and Consistency of performance.

We have always functioned as an Automobile Corporate by employing professionals to run the business and this is amply reflected in the empowerment and entrepreneurship we bestow on our employees. The company has always stuck to its core values of Respect for people, Customer Focus, Honesty & Trust, Knowledge & Expertise and Entrepreneurship. Our endeavour is to attain leadership in the country by keeping the focus on customer satisfaction and setting benchmarks for others to tread. Owing to our uniqueness our success story has been adopted by IIM Ahmadabad as a case study for aspiring Management Students.
