Mahindra & Mohammed was set up on October 2nd, 1945 by the Mahindra brothers along with Ghulam Mohammed. The company's main asset was a franchise for assembling jeeps from Willys, USA. The company underwent a change of name after Ghulam Mohammed migrated to Pakistan post Partition. He went on to become the first Finance Minister of Pakistan and Mahindra & Mohammed was renamed Mahindra & Mahindra. The Company commenced its steel trading business in association with suppliers in the UK during the same year.
