Bajaj Dynasty's newest addition, Anandamayi Bajaj, steps into the role as the first female leader in the Bajaj Group, hailing from the fifth generation of Shri Jamnalal Bajaj.
The Tribune, a renowned news organisation, has published a press release announcing the joining of Anandamayi Bajaj as the first woman leader in the Bajaj Group [1][2][3]. At just 22 years old, Anandamayi brings fresh energy and a global perspective to the Bajaj family business, which was founded by Shri Jamnalal Bajaj.
Anandamayi has completed her education in Financial Economics and Mathematics from Columbia University in New York [4]. Her roles and responsibilities within the Bajaj Group include serving as General Manager (Strategy), primarily based in Mumbai [5]. She will work closely with the leadership teams across multiple sectors of the Group, including Bajaj Energy, Bajaj Consumer, and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar.
Anandamayi is expected to take on greater operational responsibilities by the end of 2025, following a detailed cross-functional immersion across all business verticals [1][2]. This immersion will help her prepare for her future roles within the Group, which operates in sugar, ethanol, power, and FMCG businesses, with an asset base of over $5 billion and employing more than 12,000 people [6].
The induction of Anandamayi Bajaj is seen as a historic moment for the Group, symbolizing both continuity of Bajaj values and openness to transformation under fresh leadership. Mr. Kushagra Nayan Bajaj, Chairman of the Bajaj Group, expressed faith in Anandamayi's spirit, commitment, and ability to shape the next chapter of the Bajaj legacy.
