Walchand Hirachand was assisted by his brothers, when they grew up. As Walchand died without any direct male descendants, the group was divided amongst sons of his brothers [[Gulabchand Hirachand]], [[Lalchand Hirachand]] & [[Ratanchand Hirachand]], who operated together till they were alive. The group, however, in general is referred to as Walchand group in media.

Walchand group is now largely bifurcated between two factions - one headed by [[Ajit Gulabchand]] son of Gulabchand Hirachand and other faction by sons of Lalchand and Ratanchand.
