They are certainly the most adored family of Pune and the most respected! Well, for those who don't know, good ole Pune had even thrown a fit when the C.B.I had dared to conduct a `raid' at the Kirloskars during V.P.singh's tenure. Likewise, the city had cried when the beloved S.L.Kirloskar had passed away....

Though they have been in the news for the sale of Blue Diamond to the Taj Group of Hotels, theirs is a family which has weathered every storm! With the women of the family also working side by side in business making it a tough act to follow as Mrinalini and Suman Tai have led the group and the business from the front, today the sons Rahul, Atul and Sanjay head the various divisions of the Group! And you cannot miss the good-looking and dynamic daughters-in-law whether it is Alpana, Aarti or Geetanjali Kirloskar who is heading Quadrant, the world's second largest ad agency in Pune. Though the rumbles of the uneasy tension within this first family continue to abound, they are sure going places!
