‘Bajaj’ is in its 3^rd generation of business and has gained a lot of popularity and fame since 1926.  Business evolved from various opportunities during the British rule and today it is one of the most trusted brands in India. Jamnalal Bajaj was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi and followed all his principles and therefore could not devote much time towards building ‘Bajaj Group’. His son Kamalnayan Bajaj set up a strong base which was later developed by Ramkrishna Bajaj and now inherited by Rahul Bajaj. This company today is the most trusted brand in motor cycle and has released various bikes for the youth and the most famous one is ‘Pulsar.’ Bajaj also operates in various fields like Automobile, Financial services, Home appliances, Electricals, Iron and Steel and Insurance.
