As the part of joint venture Hera groups was technically dependent on Honda group but now after the separation both the companies will now be contender to each other standing on the same floor.

Taking a step ahead of establishing its own identity Hero group has already hired the services of famous brand  innovating specialist Wolff Olnis, to design the new logo of the company and also to work on its visibility on products. There are rumours that Hero group is planning to launch its new brand in London on August 9, 2011.

Overwhelmed with revitalizing progress Mr. Pawan Munjal, Managing Director and CEO Hero Group said that getting the new name for group is the first step towards establishing company’s dominance in two wheeler industry.
