A Legacy Forged in Vision, Courage and Commitment
Bengaluru : Sonalika is celebrating its glorious 30 year journey of an impossible Indian success story – how a returned LIC professional from a small town of Hoshiarpur (Punjab) defied all post retirement traditions with the spirit of ‘Jeetne ka Dum.’ With a visionary belief and lifelong commitment of his two passionate sons, he went on to build a globally respected $1.1 bn tractor empire which is also enlisted among Fortune 500 India’s list of largest 500 companies in the country
Bangalore January 2026: India is a nation blessed with visionary leaders whose wisdom and foresight have transformed industries and taken Indian excellence to the global platform. Sonalika Tractors is the powerful modern embodiment of this spirit, as the brand celebrates 30 years of trust in partnership with farmers powered by an enduring belief of ‘Jeetne Ka Dum’.
The Visionaries Behind Sonalika’s Legacy
Sonalika’s story is a family’s vision led by its founder and Chairman, Shri LD Mittal who rooted in a simple yet powerful belief in Indian soil – Indian farmers deserve ‘Jeetne Ka Dum’ – more power, more reliability, more dignity, and technology designed specifically for Indian conditions. After retiring from LIC, when most choose to slow down, Shri Mittal chose to rise. His strong belief in India’s agricultural potential was also echoed in his sons, Dr. A. S. Mittal and Dr. Deepak Mittal. Together, they laid the foundation of Sonalika – rooted beyond the boardrooms, in the realities of farms, workshops and farmers. The journey began with agricultural implements, where Sonalika’s threshers redefined reliability and performance. Farmers responded with trust and soon demanded tractors built with the same uncompromising strength.
