Top Civilian Award to Rahul Bajaj.
Top Civilian Award to Rahul Bajaj.
Bajaj has had an adventurous ride over the years, thanks to Rahul Bajaj who has been hitting the throttle for the company. And for this reason the French Government presents him with the top civilian award.
On behalf of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy the French Ambassador Mr. Jerome Bonnafont presented the honor of ‘Knight in the Order of the Legion of Honor’ to the CEO of Bajaj Auto, Rahul Bajaj. The French have numerous divisions in the Order and the title awarded to Rahul Bajaj is of the highest distinction. The industrialist was given this honor in gratitude of his noteworthy career as a businessman, and for his successful management of Bajaj Auto.
The Order of the Legion of Honour was instituted in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. On accepting the honour, Bajaj said: "It is indeed a great honour to receive this recognition. It is a great honour for the members of the Bajaj Group and a tribute to the spirit of entrepreneurship."
Bajaj, a graduate in economics and law with an MBA from Harvard Business School, hails from an illustrious family that has made rich contributions to nation building and has been associated with the Indian freedom struggle.
