It seems like an era has ended with the passing away of Rahul Bajaj, the former chairman of Bajaj Auto. He was one of the very few corporate and business community leaders who understood the importance of timelines for a reporter and many of my stories as an automobile journalist were based on what he did, the developments around his companies or how the competitors reacted to his moves.
My last interaction with Rahul Bajaj was at the annual convention of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, where he was a regular attendee.
Minister of Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari condoled his demise saying, "Heartfelt tributes to Rahul Bajaj. I knew the former Bajaj Group Chairman for many years.’’
