In 1919, he imported B.S.A. Cross Bar Bicycle from U.K. along with one Bishop, two military men and one contractor. Under special permission of the Governor, they were allowed to use cycles on The Mall only for one hour in a day. Hundreds of people visited to see the fair at that particular hour on the Mall, Shimla. Later, a firm was formed under the name of Singh & Co. with shops on Railway Road, Jalandhar and Bazar Vakillan, Hoshiarpur, which imported bicycles in the year 1930 onwards. It was his ethics of hard work, loyalty & spiritual virtues that is evident in his bloodline.

Late Sd.Karam Singh Bhogal
Sd. Karam Singh Bhogal was born to Smt. Bhagwan Kaur in July, 1905 at Shimla. He did his primary education from Shimla but had to leave his studies after his fathers death. Yet stayed undeterred and determined to face life. He had to leave his birth place, living behind the rich setup he was born in.

In Calcutta, he worked as cleaner/helper. One day having tea at a dhaba (roadside restaurant) near the Police Commissioners house. The vendor told him, a driver was needed at the commissioners house. His self confidence and obligation toward life made him grab this opportunity by lying that he knows to drive. Due to his bold nature, he got a chance for driving test. He had never driven before, so while reversing the car, he bumped into the plants by mistake. The child in him got disheartened and scared to face this. It was when, he had to drive the pregnant wife of commissioner to the station, unknowingly he was sluggishly winding the car and got appreciation for driving extra carefully. This unexpected prizing uplifted his confidence to work harder.
At the age of 14 years, he got married to Smt. Kartar Kaur D/o. Sd. Hari Singh (Renowned contractor of Jabalpur, M.P.). He got training in the field of electricity, and served in the department of electricity board, Jabalpur, Madhya Pardesh.
Started working as a government contractor in Jabalpur. Due to family rifts, he had to leave Jabalpur living behind all his earnings and receivables. He was penny less and returned to his native village Bhilowal near Hoshiarpur in Punjab, 1930. But fate beckoned him and he shifted to Ludhiana in 1938. Rest of the family followed him to Ludhiana in 1939.                                           

Late Sd.Mohinder Singh Bhogal
Sd. Mohinder Singh Bhogal S/o. Karam Yogi, Sd. Karam Singh Bhogal was born on January 18th 1927 at Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh to steer the destiny of this infant industry.

  Started working in Chakkar & Co. in 1939. He left work in this company due to refusal of partnership share to Karam Singh Bhogal in 1942. Mohinder Singh Bhogal worked for three year without any remuneration. It was Mohinder Singh Bhogals first revolt against docile simplicity of his father after which he stated his own work. Such revolt form the basis of progress. No longer prepared to remain a prisoner of the deceit, practiced by Chakkar & Co. owner. He started working in another comny in 1942.
By the age of 15 yrs, he made the new historic lathe machine, but had to go through prosecution due to the existing laws under the British rule. He even had to burn his feet with hot iron fillings to escape prosecution but he remained undeterred. To prevent him in his mission, again they tried to register another case of cycle theft on him. But could not prove it because his hard work and sincerity endeared him in the locality. Later, he rented a place and started his machine at Miller Ganj in 1945. Before partition, Mohinder Singh Bhogal & Suchinder Singh Bhogal would attend R.S.S branch meetings, made handguns for freedom strugglers.
Sd. Mohinder Singhs younger brother Suchinder Singh made a very valuable contribution. The two brothers worked shoulder to shoulder under the guidance of their father. Sd. Suchinder Singh was so strong in operating machines, all the workmen and the member of family conferred him the title of fourman (because his work done was equal to four individual men).
The seeds of hard work, loyalty & authenticity sown by the lineage started growing by 1948 when Bhogal Sons was established by Late Sd. Mohinder Singh Bhogal. A new era of technological expansion had begun with the selling of bicycle components under the BHOGAL trademark in 1950. The first automatic lathe machine was crafted in Bhogal Sons in 1952 and honble Lal Bahadur Shastri, (Union Minister of Industries, Govt. of India) visited the factory to see the machine. In 1958, he established the first automatic machine manufacturing plant which followed up by developing the first environment friendly and energy saving Cold Forging Technology for bicycle components in India in 1979. Sd. Mohinder Singh Bhogal dedicated his services for 25 yrs. as an advisor to PFC (Punjab Financial Corporation).
With the blessings of Sd. Karam Singh Bhogal, the foundation of Bhogal Sons was established by M.S Bhogal, which was later on joined by his younger brothers. The Doyen of bicycle industry continues to live through his sons Sd. Avtar Singh Bhogal and Sd. Harinder Pal Bhogal who have brought the business to new heights with the changing world. His ethical aura has become the guiding star to his bloodline.
In 2007, both the sons established M.S Bhogal N Sons dedicated to the son of saintly, dynamic and legendary grandfather Sd. Karam Singh Bhogal.
