RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology simply refers to the practical “how” of any given piece of research.
More specifically, it’s about how a researcher systematically designs a study to ensure valid
and reliable results that address the research aims and objectives.
Research of any study conducted is largely based on the data and the facts known as
information collected through different sources and thus the data or the information collected
during the study play a key and the important role in conducting and preparing the research
for all the researchers. So as a part of that information collected the researcher prepares and
analysis the report and hence this research study on the pricing strategy is collected through
two different methods.
Data collection is a process of collecting information from all the relevant sources to find
answers to the research problem, test the hypothesis and evaluate the outcomes. Data
collection methods can be divided into two categories: secondary methods of data collection
and primary methods of data collection.

The study is limited on my experience and knowledge
The Bajaj Group is amongst the top 10 business houses in India. Its footprint stretches over a
wide range of industries, spanning automobiles (two wheelers manufacturer and three
wheelers manufacturer), home appliances, lighting, iron and steel, insurance, travel and
finance. The group's flagship company, Bajaj Auto, is ranked as the world's fourth largest
three and two wheeler manufacturer and the Bajaj brand is well-known across several
countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, South and South East Asia.
Founded in 1926, at the height of India's movement for independence from the British, the
group has an illustrious history. The integrity, dedication, resourcefulness and determination
to succeed which are characteristic of the group today, are often traced back to its birth
during those days of relentless devotion to a common cause. Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the
group, was a close confidant and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. In fact, Gandhiji had adopted
him as his son.
The present Chairman of the group, Rahul Bajaj, took charge of the business in 1965. Under
his leadership, the turnover of the Bajaj Auto the flagship company has gone up from INR.72
million to INR. 120 billion, its product portfolio has expanded and the brand has found a
global market. He is one of India’s most distinguished business leaders, bike manufacturer
india and internationally respected for his business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.
In 2005, Rahul Bajaj's son Rajiv Bajaj stepped into the shoes of Managing Director of Bajaj
Auto and steered the organization to becoming a global automobile behemoth. He introduced
the Pulsar range of bikes, that revolutionised the two wheeler market in India. The legacy of
our Auto Rickshaws have been soaring heights and display unparalleled market dominance
across any automobile segment.
In 2007, Bajaj Auto acquired a 14% stake in KTM that has since grown to 48%. This
partnership catalysed Bajaj Auto’s endeavour to democratise motorcycle racing in India.
Bajaj Auto today exclusively manufactures Duke range of KTM bikes and exports them
worldwide. In FY2018, KTM was the fastest growing motorcycle brand in the country
Bajaj Auto has also led the pioneering introduction of India’s first ever Quadricycle – Qute.
Bajaj Auto exports to 70+ countries and a significant share of revenues come from Exports.
This stands as a testament to the new brand image – The World’s Favourite Indian.
Location Matrix
Bajaj Auto was established on 29 November 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading Corporation
Private Limited. It initially imported and sold two- and three-wheelers in India. In 1959, it
obtained a license from the Government of India to manufacture two-wheelers and three-
wheelers and obtained Licence from Piaggio to manufacture Vespa Brand Scooters in India.
[citation needed] It became a public limited company in 1960.[citation needed] With the
launch of motorcycles in 1986, the company changed its branding from a scooter
manufacturer to a two-wheeler manufacturer. In 2017, Bajaj Auto and Triumph Motorcycles
Ltd teamed up to build mid-capacity motorcycles. As of 2008, Bajaj had operations in 50
countries, and its bikes are targeted toward entry-level buyers.[citation needed]. On 26
November 2019, Bajaj Auto invested $8 million (approx. ₹57 crore) in bicycle and electric

FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis
Mc Kinsey 7S framework
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, and so a SWOT
Analysis is a technique for assessing these four aspects of your business.
You can use SWOT Analysis to make the most of what you've got, to your organization's best
advantage. And you can reduce the chances of failure, by understanding what you're lacking,
and eliminating hazards that would otherwise catch you unawares.
Better still, you can start to craft a strategy that distinguishes you from your competitors, and
so compete successfully in your market.
Strength: Strengths are things that your organization does particularly well, or in a way that
distinguishes you from your competitors. Think about the advantages your organization has
over other organizations. These might be the motivation of your staff, access to certain
materials, or a strong set of manufacturing processes.
Weakness: Now it's time to consider your organization's weaknesses. Be honest! A SWOT
Analysis will only be valuable if you gather all the information you need. So, it's best to be
realistic now, and face any unpleasant truths as soon as possible.
Opportunity: Opportunities are openings or chances for something positive to happen, but
you'll need to claim them for yourself!
They usually arise from situations outside your organization, and require an eye to what
might happen in the future. They might arise as developments in the market you serve, or in
the technology you use. Being able to spot and exploit opportunities can make a huge
difference to your organization's ability to compete and take the lead in your market.
Threats include anything that can negatively affect your business from the outside, such as
supply chain problems, shifts in market requirements, or a shortage of recruits. It's vital to
