Our Legacy

Founded by Shri N.K. Firodia in 1958, Force Motors is the flagship company of the Dr. Abhay Firodia Group of Companies. Inspired by the vision and passion of its founder, the group is one of India’s pioneering industrial houses, with a strong focus on the automotive sector.

Beyond its commitment to delivering affordable, reliable and efficient mobility solutions for the masses, the Group also places deep emphasis on contributing to society through the Shri Firodia Trust. The trust actively supports various CSR initiatives that aim to give back to the community, ranging from medical relief, establishing educational institutions and spiritual advancement to the promotion of Indian culture, history and philosophy.

One of its most recent and significant endeavours is the Abhay Prabhavana Museum, envisioned and led by Dr. Abhay Firodia. The museum is dedicated to presenting the timeless values of Jainism through a scientific, logical and contemporary lens, making it accessible and engaging for all. The word Prabhavana signifies a selfless gift to society, offered for the collective good. Developed over a decade in collaboration with Jain scholars, thought leaders, artists and facilitators, this center stands as a testament to the group’s commitment to cultural and ethical enrichment.
