Madhur Bajaj, the former vice-chairman of Bajaj Auto, passed away at a hospital in Mumbai on Friday. He was 73.
Bajaj had been admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital a few days ago due to health issues. Bajaj, who was currently serving as a director of Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Electricals, had stepped down from the post of vice-chairman of Bajaj Auto in January last year owing to ill health.
Bajaj had been the vice-chairman (both executive and non-executive) of Bajaj Auto for over two decades. At the time of stepping down, he had said: "I believe now is the time for me to pursue my other interests and commitments."
