Rahul Bajaj, a veteran industrialist, died today in Pune. He was 83 years old when he died. The industrialist died “in the presence of his closest family members,” according to a statement from the Bajaj Group. According to an official, he died at 14:30 p.m. today. His funeral will take place the following day.
In April of last year, Rahul Bajaj stepped down as Chairman of Bajaj Auto. He was, however, named Chairman Emeritus of the company for a five-year term.
“You just can’t beat a Bajaj” and the “Hamara Bajaj” for the company’s classic two-wheeler are two of the most recognised advertising slogans in India.
“My sincere tributes to Rahul Bajaj ji, a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former chairman of Bajaj Auto,” Union Minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted. For many years, I had a personal friendship with Padma Bhushan awardee Rahul ji. Rahul ji, who has been the head of the Bajaj Group for the past five decades, has played a significant role in the industry. May God grant peace to the departed soul’s soul and strength to the bereaved family members. Om Shanti,” says the speaker.
Sharad Pawar also expressed his condolences, saying, “I am terribly surprised to learn about Padma Bhushan Shri Rahul Bajaj’s terrible passing!” With his two-wheel technology – a Bajaj Bike! – the grandson of legendary independence warrior Jamnalal Bajaj transformed society, especially among the poor and middle classes.”
