MEN AT THE HELM

Founder

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.
