Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Pune, India, Bajaj Finance has expanded its operations across various regions in India, serving a broad customer base including retail consumers, small businesses, and corporates. The company forms a part of the Bajaj Finserv financial services group.
Major recent developments include the strategic acquisition in March 2025 by Bajaj Finserv of Allianz SE’s 26% stake in Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance for ₹24,180 crore, ending a 24-year partnership and making these ventures wholly owned subsidiaries. In 2025, Bajaj Finance implemented shareholder-friendly initiatives such as a 4:1 stock split, a bonus issue, and a substantial dividend payout to enhance stock liquidity and affordability. Additionally, the company entered a significant partnership with Bharti Airtel in 2025 to distribute its financial products through Airtel’s extensive digital and retail networks, aiming to boost digital inclusion and customer reach. Bajaj Finance has also announced plans to reduce its promoter holding in Bajaj Housing Finance by up to 2% via public share sales to comply with regulatory requirements, reflecting strategic portfolio adjustments.
These strategic alliances, acquisitions, and operational expansions reinforce Bajaj Finance Limited’s position as a diversified and integrated financial services provider in India, focusing on digital innovation, consumer finance, and comprehensive lending solutions across multiple sectors.
