Hero Cycles patriarch Satyanand Munjal, 99, passed away at his residence in Model Town here today, his family said.
Popularly known as 'Mahatma', Munjal was a much-respected figure in business and social circles.
He is survived by six children -- five sons and a daughter.
A devoted Arya Samajist, Munjal was the eldest of the Munjal brothers and built the Hero Group, which has now emerged as one of the largest business conglomerates in India.
