Bajaj Dynasty Welcomes Fifth Generation Member, Anandamayi Bajaj, as First Female Leader in the Bajaj Group

Fifth-generation family member, Anandamayi Bajaj, makes history by becoming the first female leader to join the Bajaj Group, following in the footsteps of her lineage's patriarch, Shri Jamnalal Bajaj.

In a significant development, Anandamayi Bajaj, a fifth-generation member of the Bajaj family, has joined the renowned Bajaj Group. This move is seen as a continuation of the collective story of the Bajaj Group, and Anandamayi marks a historic moment in its journey.

Born to Kushagra Nayan Bajaj, the current Chairman of the Bajaj Group, Anandamayi was raised with a deep understanding of the Group's values, legacy, and aspirations. Her journey began at a young age, as she graduated from Columbia University, New York, with a bachelor's degree in Financial Economics and Mathematics.

At just 22 years old, Anandamayi has started her full-time role from the Group's Mumbai office. She will work closely with the leadership teams of Bajaj Energy, Bajaj Consumer, and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar, undergoing a detailed cross-functional immersion across all business verticals. This comprehensive immersion is designed to prepare her for greater operational responsibilities by the end of 2025.

Anandamayi is the first woman leader in the history of the Bajaj Group. She brings a unique blend of youthful curiosity and grounded responsibility to her new role. In taking on her new position, she expressed her excitement to learn from the outstanding teams across businesses and contribute meaningfully to the Bajaj Group.

The Bajaj Group, one of India's oldest and most respected business houses, is a diversified conglomerate with interests primarily in sugar, ethanol, power, and FMCG businesses. With an asset base of over $5 billion and employing more than 12,000 people, the Group is valued around $2.5 billion. The Bajaj Group is known for its legacy of trust, transformation, and nation-building.

Mr. Kushagra Nayan Bajaj, Chairman of the Bajaj Group, shared a message expressing his faith in Anandamayi's spirit, commitment, and ability to shape the next chapter of the Bajaj legacy. He believes that her entry marks a historic moment for the Group, continuing the legacy of the founder Shri Jamnalal Bajaj and reflecting her unique blend of youthful curiosity and grounded responsibility.

As Anandamayi embarks on this new journey, the Bajaj Group celebrates this new beginning with pride and optimism, looking forward to the future with renewed vigour and commitment.
