Some leaders build strategies. Others build legacies.
Sudhir Borgaonkar, the dynamic CEO of BJR Group, belongs to the rare class of leaders who do both — with clarity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to progress.
With over 35 years of leadership experience across multiple industries — from paints and batteries to two-wheelers and four-wheelers — Borgaonkar’s journey is a blueprint for bold transformation and value-driven leadership.
Leadership Rooted in Vision, Powered by Action
At the core of Borgaonkar’s leadership lies one fundamental belief:
“Great businesses aren’t born. They are rebuilt, reimagined, and reengineered — every single day.”
And that’s exactly what he’s done.
Whether turning around underperforming businesses or expanding operations into new global markets, Borgaonkar has built a reputation as a turnaround specialist. His tenure with the Quality Group in Tanzania is a testament to this — where he redefined strategy, reorganized systems, and revitalized growth.
Now, at the helm of BJR Group, he’s engineering the future — one innovation at a time.

For Borgaonkar, progress isn’t just about speed — it’s about direction. And he’s steering BJR straight into the future.
Leading With Purpose: From Boardroom to Community
True leadership reveals itself in crisis.
During the pandemic, when the world paused, Borgaonkar pressed forward — leading BJR Group’s humanitarian outreach program, delivering essentials to those in need. This wasn’t an obligation. It was a reflection of his people-first leadership philosophy.
“We’re not just accountable to shareholders. We’re accountable to society.”
It’s this rare combination of strategic acumen and emotional intelligence that makes Borgaonkar a standout leader.
Empowering People, Building a Culture of Ownership
In the fast-paced automotive world, Borgaonkar stands out not just for his results — but for how he gets them.
He doesn’t lead with fear. He leads with trust.
He doesn’t just delegate. He develops.
And in doing so, he’s built a team that doesn’t just follow the vision — they own it.
“Leadership is about lifting others — not just professionally, but personally.”
