But in 1947, the Partition forced him to abandon it all. With just Rs 5,000 and two cars, he arrived in Delhi, determined to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of staying with family, he checked into Delhi&#8217;s most luxurious hotel, The Imperial, believing that a bold presence would help him revive connections. And it did.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/onlykutts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/H-P-NAnda-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlykutts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/H-P-NAnda-2.webp 600w, https:\/\/onlykutts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/H-P-NAnda-2-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Agency to Agricultural Reformer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the Partition, Nanda had already founded Escorts Agents Ltd in Lahore in 1944, working as a franchisee for Westinghouse. The name &#8220;Escorts&#8221; came from their role of escorting goods from manufacturers to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 1948, Nanda had launched Escorts Agricultural Machines Ltd, marketing imported tractors to a newly independent, agrarian India. Collaborations followed\u2014Massey Ferguson, Minneapolis-Moline, and URSUS of Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1954, he also formed a joint venture with Germany&#8217;s Goetze to manufacture piston rings. By 1959, Escorts was producing tractors with Polish support\u2014ushering India into the era of farm mechanisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversification and Dominance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Escorts Limited was officially established in 1960. Tractors remained the backbone, but Nanda pushed the envelope with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rajdoot motorcycles, in collaboration with Yamaha<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marine engines and excavators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EPABX systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deep-well drilling equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He even established India&#8217;s first private institute for farm mechanisation on 800 acres in Delhi&#8217;s Azadpur, leased from the army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the late 1970s, Escorts had grown into a Rs 1,000 crore conglomerate, among India&#8217;s top business houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Corporate Battle That Changed India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1983, Nanda faced his most defining challenge: fending off a hostile takeover attempt by NRI businessman Swaraj Paul. Backed by public opinion, media, and titans like JRD Tata and Keshub Mahindra, he fought back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standoff redefined the relationship between public financial institutions and Indian promoters, setting a precedent in Indian corporate governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1990s: Personal Loss and Leadership Transition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After his wife&#8217;s death, Nanda gradually retreated from active business. By 1994, he had stepped down, handing the reins to his son Rajan Nanda. Escorts expanded into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Telecom with Escotel (later sold to Idea Cellular)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthcare with the launch of Escorts Heart Institute<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But liberalisation brought new headwinds. Many multinationals chose to go solo. They eventually dissolved joint ventures with Yamaha, JCB, and even Ford Tractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exit, Consolidation, and a New Direction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Escorts began exiting non-core businesses\u2014such as telecom, motorcycles, and construction equipment\u2014and focused on consolidating its operations. Despite setbacks, the company retained its presence in agriculture and engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Comeback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2007, Nikhil Nanda, Har Prasad&#8217;s grandson, became Joint MD. By 2013, he had taken complete control of the company. Strategic calls were made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Debt halved through asset sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New, efficient products launched: Farmtrac and Powertrac<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus returned to agriculture, core manufacturing, and frugal innovation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nikhil recalls, &#8220;The resurrection came after 2011\u2026 we had to think frugally in a linear fashion. We became clear about what we wanted to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Global Pivot with Kubota<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a landmark move to bolster global capabilities, Escorts tied up with Japan&#8217;s Kubota Corporation. Initially, the relationship began with a collaboration, and by 2021, Kubota had become a strategic partner and co-promoter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This partnership brought in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advanced Japanese engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stronger export potential<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A push for innovative, globally relevant farm equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tie-up was not just financial\u2014it represented a new phase for Escorts: combining Indian legacy with global innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Legacy Lives On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Har Prasad Nanda passed away in 1999, his influence remains felt. Beyond tractors and industrial equipment, he built:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Escorts Heart Institute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Escorts Employees Ancillaries Ltd<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>India&#8217;s first private farm mechanisation training institute<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His vision was never about just profit\u2014it was about building institutions that supported a self-reliant India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the ashes of Partition to the boardrooms of global business, Har Prasad Nanda&#8217;s story is one of grit, reinvention, and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey of Escorts, from Rs 5,000 to a Kubota partnership, is not just about machines\u2014it&#8217;s about a family that stayed rooted in Indian soil while aiming globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Escorts is no longer just a company; it&#8217;s a brand. It&#8217;s a story of Indian ambition, industrial resilience, and generational stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Har_Prasad_Nanda\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Har_Prasad_Nanda<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/magazine\/news-makers\/story\/20170925-har-prasad-nanda-delhi-lahore-escorts-limited-auto-telecom-1044694-2017-09-16\">https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/magazine\/news-makers\/story\/20170925-har-prasad-nanda-delhi-lahore-escorts-limited-auto-telecom-1044694-2017-09-16<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbctv18.com\/business\/companies\/backstory-when-nanda-brothers-parted-ways-leading-to-decline-of-escorts-group-11137522.htm\">https:\/\/www.cnbctv18.com\/business\/companies\/backstory-when-nanda-brothers-parted-ways-leading-to-decline-of-escorts-group-11137522.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbesindia.com\/article\/work-in-progress\/escorts-lord-of-the-field\/51009\/1\">https:\/\/www.forbesindia.com\/article\/work-in-progress\/escorts-lord-of-the-field\/51009\/1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesnownews.com\/business-economy\/companies\/article\/throwback-how-hp-nanda-took-on-indira-gandhi-rbi-to-thwart-swaraj-paul-bid-to-acquire-escorts\/825790\">https:\/\/www.timesnownews.com\/business-economy\/companies\/article\/throwback-how-hp-nanda-took-on-indira-gandhi-rbi-to-thwart-swaraj-paul-bid-to-acquire-escorts\/825790<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the legacy of Escorts\u2014from its Partition-era roots to global success.
