COMPANY PROFILE
Bajaj Auto Limited is 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. 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, Gandhi ji 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. Bajaj’s
strong presence in over 50 countries truly exemplifies the term successful expansion.
Since the launch of the legendary Chetak scooter in 1973; Bajaj has been the most
favorite two-wheeler brand across the world. With the Boxer launch in 90's, the stylish
Pulsar in 2001 and the likes of Discover, Platina and many other great bikes, Bajaj has
catered to every need in this segment. In the midst of 1972, Bajaj began exporting two-
wheelers to Australia. And by 1973, the first shipment of three wheelers arrived in
Bangladesh. By 2000-01, Bajaj managed to export around 44,000 vehicles. Our exports
were growing and that created a need of setting up representative sales offices abroad.

So in 2004, we set up sales offices in Africa, Sri Lanka and Middle East followed by a
subsidiary in Indonesia. Later in 2008, we opened another sales office in Mexico in Latin
America. And in the same year, a 15% increase was recorded with the export of 7,
26,115 two-wheelers. Across the globe, Bajaj is known as the no. 1 three-wheeler
company, with a very dominant position in Sri Lanka, Egypt, Bangladesh and Peru.
Bajaj’s market share is increasing constantly every year. The brand Bajaj is a market
leader in motorcycles in Colombia, Central America, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh,
Philippines, Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya. And we are proud that the love of our
customers has made Boxer the no. 1 brand in the whole of Africa. But the export of one
million vehicles in the year 2010 has put us foremost in the worldwide race of success.
Well, these achievements are definitely awe-inspiring. But for a company like Bajaj,
these are just goals, achievements are yet to come.
