    The Bajaj Group was founded in 1926 by Jamnalal Bajaj and now consists of 27 companies. In 1945, Jamnalal Bajaj had formed M/s Bach raj Trading Corporation Private Limited, the flagship company, to sell imported two-wheelers and three-wheelers. The company acquired license from the government in 1959 to manufacture these vehicles and went public the next year. By 1977, the company saw its plant rolling out 100000 vehicles in a single year. In another nine years, Bajaj Auto could produce 500,000 vehicles in a year. The present Chairman of the Bajaj group, Rahul Bajaj, took charge of the business in 1965. He was the first licensee of the Indian make of the Italian Vespa scooter. Japanese and Italian scooter companies began entering the Indian market in the early 1980s. Although some boasted superior technology and flashier brands, Bajaj Auto had built up several advantages in the previous decades. Its customers liked the durability of the product and the ready availability of maintenance; the company 's distributors permeated the country. By 1994-95, Bajaj was racing to beat Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki in the two-wheeler segment internationally. By 1997, Bajaj faced tough competition in the domestic market and its market share stood at 40.5%. Under the leadership of Rahul Bajaj, the turnover of Bajaj Auto has gone up from Rs.72 million to Rs.46.16 billion(USD 936 million), its product portfolio has expanded from one to many and the brand has found a global market. Bajaj as a brand is well-known across several countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, South and South East Asia. The company has a network of 498 dealers and over 1,500 authorized service centers and 162 exclusive three-wheeler dealers spread across the country. Bajaj has identified a segment of customers called 'Probikers ', who are knowledgeable about motorbikes and appreciative of…

    It was October, 2000, the siren blew at 2.30 pm and the employees of morning shift were leaving the factory after their duty. Dr. Sahay, Chairman & Managing Director of Scooters India Ltd. Looked through the glass window of his corner room and was wondering if he could make the company profitable and secure their jobs through infusion of home grown incremental technology. Can this incremental technology sustain in the long run. He knew the only way Scooter India Ltd. (SIL) could survive was to take an aggressive position in the market through new products and technologies but where to get the required technology? With liberalisation, the global technology developers/owners were no more interested in technology transfer. In-house as well indigenous collaborative efforts had reached their limits. Questions like what should be his strategy, will the strategy be the panacea for the problems the company would be facing in future were moving in his mind’s screen. He sought an answer, but only time will tell. About the company Incorporated in 1972, Scooters India Limited is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 Company situated at 16 Km mile stone, South-west of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh on NH No 25 and is well connected by road, rail and air.

    From riding the Chetak scooter to zipping past the Pulsar 220CC, it has been an evolution for Bajaj Auto. India's second largest two-wheeler maker's origin is rooted in Bachchraj Trading Corporation, first set up to trade in a few 2 and 3-wheelers. Founded by Jamnalal Bajaj, who associated closely with Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle, the Bajajs' have seen real growth starting from the sixties. Though Bajaj started off as dealers in imported 2 and 3-wheelers, it was only in 1960, that it started manufacturing, having obtained the precious manufacturing licence from the government. In mid-sixties, current Chairman Rahul Bajaj took over the reins as the CEO, but the eighties are still seen as the best years for Bajaj. "The decade of the 80s was the greatest decade for Bajaj Auto. We did well in the 70s, but 70s was a disaster for Indian industry. It was the height of misguided socialism. No technology was allowed to come," reminisces Bajaj. Interestingly, during the 80s, Bajaj Auto's production jumped 8 fold to touch 8 lakh units! In the 80s, the company also touched the magic figure of Rs 100 crore, which was in 1980-81. But the rapid expansion saw a cooling off in the 90s. Volumes grew by only about 78%, partly because the scooter king was faced with consumer preference shifing from scooters to bikes. Bajaj had no presence in bikes and had to forge an alliance with Japanese major Kawasaki to get a jumpstart in the motorcycle business in 1986. That was not good enough to fight the new rivals - the Munjals with the Hero Honda joint venture. As a result of the Kawasaki partnerships, Bajaj succeeded where LML and Kinetic had failed. That success called for a crucial makeover time for the Bajaj management. The next generation Rajiv Bajaj and Sanjiv Bajaj were inducted into the company in the early nineties. The young energy of the two brothers backed by an equally energetic research team helped Bajaj Auto roll out a winner in this…
