About the Group
The foundation of the group that is today known as
the Jagannath Bajranglal Jaju (JBJ) Group was laid
in the early 1940s by Shri Jagannath Jaju (fondly
known as "Bade Babu") right after his Matriculation.
He was soon joined by his younger brother Shri Bajranglal
Jaju (B.L. Ji) while he was still pursuing his C.A.
and Law in Kolkata.
The first factory installed by Shri J.N. Jaju was
a rice mill in Lalmanihat (present day Bangladesh)
in partnership with friends and relatives. The partition
saw the mill getting exchanged for a rice mill in
Tangla (Assam) and at the same time another rice mill
was set up in Pathshala (Assam). The duo then set
out on a path of organic growth set across various
cities and industries. All along they sought out relatives
and friends who were willing to join them on this
path. While Shri B.L. Jaju opened his own accounting
firm in Calcutta, he was characterized by a spirit
of entrepreneurial adventure, brimming with new business
ideas. On the other hand Shri J.N. Jaju was the perpetrator
of all projects- giving form and function to his younger
brother's ideas. Bade Babu's concern for values and
ethics was exemplary. The complementing attributes
of both brothers took the group from strength to strength.
Rice mills, flourmills, timber factory were all installed
in various important cities of Eastern India from
1939 till 1966, from Pathshala and Guwahati to
Ranchi and Tatanagar, to name just a few.
As the East was going through political unrest, it
was imperative to make a move towards the West: namely
Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
The group was a pioneer in setting up Rajasthan's
first flourmill, oil refinery and vanaspati plant.
The group's interests were also diversified into foreign
trade and petrochemicals, consistently reaching greater
heights.
1980 saw the division of assets between the JBJ Group
and other members of the family. Post restructuring
and consolidation the following companies accounted
for being the key business drivers for the group:
Share
Broking & Wealth Management
The current key initiatives undertaken by the group
are colonization projects in Rajasthan with Ansals
as the leading partners. The two schemes Sushant City
and Anand Lok have been hugely successful and have
given a steady return on investments to plot buyers
even in comparison to the boom in the real estate
market
The group's business endeavours have been coupled
with a consciousness aimed at making a positive impact
on society at large. The philanthropic and charitable
organizations under the aegis of the group are:
