In case you don't know, here's what JCBs do
If you have ever lived in India, you must have seen large yellow excavators, digging something. JCB, which stands for J.C. Bamford Excavators Limited, is a British MNC. But like many things, we Indians have made JCB ours. Which is why it has now become a synonym for excavator. Whatever you have to dig, JCB will do it for you!
