Described by many as one of the icons of Indian industry, he was a stalwart of the business space for over six decades. The businessman made history when he took over his family’s primary firm, Bajaj Auto Ltd., from his father in 1965 at the age of 27. In April last year, Rahul Bajaj had resigned as Chairman of Bajaj Auto but continued as its Chairman Emeritus for five years.

The Maharashtra government has announced that he will be accorded a state funeral tomorrow.

Rahul Bajaj has served as president of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) twice (1979-80 and 1999–2000). He was also awarded the CII President’s Award for Lifetime Achievement by Indian President Pranab Mukherjee in 2017. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha, India’s Upper House of Parliament, in 2006 and served until 2010. As of February 2021, Rahul Bajaj had an estimated net worth of $8.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the world, according to Forbes.

Tributes From The Law Makers

On top of being successful in business, he was dedicated to community service and a terrific conversationalist. He was distraught by Rahul’s death, he further added.

According to President Ram Nath Kovind, “We were shocked and saddened to hear about Shri Rahul Bajaj’s passing. He was a leading light of Indian industry, and he was adamant about the country’s interests. His professional life represented India’s business sector’s development and inherent strength. A gap has been left in business due to his passing.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, said, “The revelation of the death of the country’s most prominent businessman, Rahul Bajaj ji, came as a shock. He made a significant contribution to the country’s growth on the economic front. The song ‘Buland Bharat Ki Buland Awaz’ become a staple in every family’s repertoire. My sincere homage to someone with such a wonderful personality. May the Lord receive the spirit of the dead and set it at his feet.”

OnePlus has always been known for creating high-end smartphones that are easy on the wallet and easy to use. However, in recent years, the company has been preparing to transition from being a flagship brand to one that is accessible to all customers and employees.

One recent example of this was the introduction of the Oneplus Nord CE 2 Lite smartphone, which is available in the Indian market for less than Rs 20,000. Furthermore, the OnePlus roadmap for 2022 revealed that the smartphone company would introduce many smartphones this year, therefore terminating the exclusive agreement with Apple.

The company plans to continue its expansion into new markets such as India and China, where it will be available at brick-and-mortar stores such as Croma and Reliance Digital and online retailers such as Amazon India and Flipkart.
