The Ledger / Rajiv Bajaj
Rajiv Bajaj
◼ Origin
Rajiv Bajaj (born 1969) is the Managing Director of Bajaj Auto Limited, India's second-largest two-wheeler and three-wheeler manufacturer by volume. He is the son of Rahul Bajaj and great-grandson of Jamnalal Bajaj, who co-founded the Bajaj Group conglomerate in 1945. Rajiv joined Bajaj Auto in 1990 and was appointed MD in 2005, transforming the product line from scooters to motorcycles — including the Pulsar brand that redefined India's premium motorcycle segment — and forging international partnerships with KTM and Triumph Motorcycles.
◼ Self-Made Verdict — PARTIAL
Joined Bajaj Auto directly in 1990 under family leadership; the company was built by prior generations (great-grandfather Jamnalal and father Rahul Bajaj), though Rajiv has substantially transformed the product portfolio and international strategy.
