We started out in 1982 in Gurgaon, Haryana. Little did the then quiet suburb of New Delhi know that it was going to become the epicenter of the automobile revolution in India. The year marked the birth of the Maruti Suzuki factory. India turned out 40,000 cars every year. The new Maruti Suzuki 800 hit the streets to begin a whole new chapter in the Indian automobile industry.We set out with an obsession for customer delight, one that was unheard in the corridors of automobile manufacturers then. It was about a commitment to create value through innovation, quality, creativity, partnerships, openness and learning. It created a road that was going to lead the world in to a whole new direction, laid out by Maruti Suzuki.Today, Maruti Suzuki alone makes 1.5 million family cars every year. That’s one car every 12 seconds. We drove up head and shoulders above every major global auto company. Yet, our story was not just about making a mark. It was about revolutionary cars that delivered great performance, efficiency and environment friendliness with low cost of ownership. That’s what we call true value. We built our story with a belief in small cars for a big future.
