The story of Bajaj Group is deeply intertwined with India’s economic and social evolution. Founded in 1945 by Jamnalal Bajaj, the company started by importing two- and three-wheelers, eventually becoming a household name with the launch of the iconic Bajaj Chetak scooter. For decades, the Chetak wasn’t just a vehicle—it was a symbol of mobility, progress, and aspiration for India’s growing middle class. The unforgettable slogan “Hamara Bajaj” captured the nation’s sentiment, making Bajaj a trusted name in every household.
But Bajaj did not stop at moving people; it moved with the times. Under the visionary leadership of Rahul Bajaj, the group expanded its horizons and diversified into new industries. The most transformative pivot came with the rise of Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Finance, which today stand among India’s most respected and fastest-growing financial services companies. From consumer loans and insurance to wealth management and investments, Bajaj has become synonymous with trust, reliability, and innovation in finance.
Today, the Bajaj Group is not only a leader in automobiles but also a major force in financial services, shaping the way Indians ride, invest, and grow. Its journey from kick-start scooters to capital markets is a true reflection of India’s own growth story—resilient, adaptable, and forward-looking.
As Sanjiv Bajaj aptly puts it: “You ride with the people, and you grow with them.” That belief continues to guide Bajaj as it drives India’s aspirations forward.
