How it began?

Who are we?

The MKP Group’s existence, history and strong foundation start with one individual, its founder, Mahendra Kumar Patodia (MKP). With a unique penchant for entrepreneurial success combined with over 50 years of experience in the Auto Industry, he channeled his know-how to create a company that stands tall today.

The journey of the MKP Group started in 1989 when the firm ‘The Spare House’ opened its office in a small basement at Tadiwala Road, Pune. It was then a distributor for a few component manufacturers like TVS Autolec, Lumax, Gabriel, etc. From visiting village to village & shop to shop, the Group has grown to become one of the most respected names in the Auto Parts Distribution Firms in India.

Leveraging an already strong foundation of intuitive business acumen and industry relations, MKP’s successors have transformed the distribution business

which is now associated with top automotive brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hero, Tata, Idemitsu, TVS, Royal Enfield, Honda, CEAT and many more.

The MKP Group embraces its humble beginnings and gives the credit of all its success to MKP Group’s stakeholders that have worked hard and persevered for 30 years. It is a company that stands for the values of integrity, complete trust and embodies the true meaning of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the world is one family.
