The Bajaj Group is amongst the top 10 business houses in India. Its footprint stretches over a
wide range of industries, spanning automobiles (two-wheelers and three-wheelers), home
Appliances, lighting, iron and steel, insurance, travel and finance. The group's flagship company,
Bajaj Auto, is ranked as the world's fourth largest two- and three- wheeler manufacturer and the
Bajaj brand is well-known across several countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, South and
South East Asia. Founded in 1926, at the height of India's movement for independence from the
British, the group has an illustrious history. The integrity, dedication, resourcefulness and
determination to succeed which are characteristic of the group today, are often traced back to its
birth during those days of relentless devotion to a common cause. Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the
group, was a close confidant and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. In fact, Gandhiji had adopted him as
his son. This close relationship and his deep involvement in the independence movement did not
leave Jamnalal Bajaj with much time to spend on his newly launched business venture.
His son, Kamalnayan Bajaj, then 27, took over the reins of business in 1942. He too was close
to Gandhiji and it was only after Independence in 1947, that he was able to give his full attention to
the business. Kamalnayan Bajaj not only consolidated the group, but also diversified into various
manufacturing activities. The present Chairman of the group, Rahul Bajaj, took charge of the
business in 1965. Under his leadership, the turnover of the Bajaj Auto the flagship company has gone
up from Rs.72 million to Rs.46.16 billion (USD 936 million), its product portfolio has expanded and
the brand has found a global market. He is India's one of the most distinguished business leaders
and internationally respected for his business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. The management
