Sonus Story
Founder Of Hardev Motors
On weekends and after school, while the other children were engaged in age-appropriate activities, like bicycling, Sonu and his brother rushed to their dad’s workplace to borrow one of the 80 motorbikes that he owned at that time. What a playground for kids! Sonu and his brother used to push the motorbike on the top of a hill and hurtled down the slope alternately without starting the motorbike. For many months, this activity became their favourite occupation during their spare time.
Sonu Rajput fell in the world of motorbikes at a very young age. When he was only 8 years old, he used to play with his younger brother on a Yamaha RX100 motorbike, taken from his father’s (Mr Raju) workshop.
