BAJAJ INDIA-
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 reigns 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 INR.72 million to INR. 120 billion, its product portfolio has expanded and the brand has found a global market. He is one of India’s most distinguished business leaders and internationally respected for his business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.

are noted for the tradition of heavy customization that gave rise to the chopper style

Harley designs. Harley-Davidson's attempts to establish itself in the light
motorcycle market have met little success and have largely been abandoned since
the 1978 sale of its Italian Aermacchi subsidiary.
