Firodia is part of an Indian business family that has had a long-standing presence in the country's vehicle manufacturing sector. The family has historically been linked to the development of two- and three-wheeler businesses in western India, particularly around Pune in the state of Maharashtra, which has emerged as a major centre for the Indian automotive industry.
Firodia has been associated with the Kinetic group of companies, an Indian enterprise involved in the manufacture and sale of motorised two-wheelers, including mopeds and scooters. The group has at various times had collaborations with foreign manufacturers as part of its product development and engineering activities.
As an industrialist linked to the Kinetic group, Firodia is part of the broader story of post-independence industrial entrepreneurship in India, particularly in the automotive sector based in and around Pune. The two-wheeler industry has been one of the most significant manufacturing segments in the Indian economy, with substantial production volumes for both domestic consumption and export.
