Rajesh Mehra
Director & Promoter
Jaquar Group
An alumnus of Hindu College, New Delhi, Rajesh Mehra has been associated with the Jaquar Group as
Director & Promoter since 1978. He has played a pivotal role in transforming customer perceptions of
the bathroom, from a purely functional space to an aspirational part of the home in the 1990s and
subsequently led the brand’s evolution from a faucet-focused business to a provider of complete
bathroom and lighting solutions. His leadership has been closely aligned with product innovation,
global quality standards, and a strong belief in India’s manufacturing capabilities, with Jaquar today
operating state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in India and South Korea and serving markets
across more than 55 countries.
Widely known for his customer-centric approach, Rajesh has emphasized experience-led design,
strong service systems, and consistent quality across the value chain. His vision has also guided the
company’s focus on responsible and sustainable operations, including the development of eco-
conscious manufacturing practices and the establishment of Jaquar’s LEED Platinum-certified, net-
positive global headquarters in Manesar. Beyond business, he supports social development initiatives
through the Jaquar Foundation, working in areas such as education, healthcare, and skill
development. His long-standing contribution to industry and entrepreneurship was recently
recognized with the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

LEADING JAQUAR’S EVOLUTION
After changing customer perceptions of the bathroom from being a merely functional place to an aspirational space of the home in the ‘90s, Rajesh has focused his efforts on the evolution of the Jaquar brand from a mere faucet brand to a Complete Bathroom and Lighting Solutions brand – in sync with Jaquar’s vision of bringing the joy of water and light to consumers worldwide. Today Jaquar Group is the only brand in the world with such a comprehensive portfolio both in width and depth, revolutionizing the building construction & material industry.
A CUSTOMER-FIRST APPROACH
Known for his unwavering belief in a customer-centric approach, Rajesh has revolutionized the bath industry by always keeping his focus on the customer experience – with the highly skilled professionals, evolved processes and empathetic customer care operations offering both pre-and post-purchase services. Today Jaquar Customer Care is the industry benchmark and a unique differentiator for the brand across the stakeholders extending to global markets. Upgrading living style with innovative, tech-enabled and customer-friendly products has been Rajesh’s strategic approach to the industry, which had a more conservative approach to change. Jaquar getting voted India’s most trusted bath brand and also a super brand ten times in a row by customers, speaks volumes of Rajesh Mehra’s customer-first approach.
QUALITY-CENTRIC THINKING
Rajesh Mehra’s vision has led the group to continuously strive to create value and exceed customer expectations on quality, delivery and cost-effectiveness – through continuous product innovation, and using cutting edge technologies to create award-winning products of global standards, which customers love. Adhering to leading global quality certification and even surpassing the highest quality standards, Jaquar Group has not only created new benchmarks in Indian bath manufacturing but also brought huge credibility to Indian manufacturing in the global arena.
BUILT ON SELF BELIEF
The belief of Rajesh and the Jaquar Group in the timeless wisdom and faith in the inherent capabilities of Indians has seen the Jaquar Group consolidate on its strengths in manufacturing within the country. Jaquar products are proudly made in India, for the world – meaning they’re of a standard that is acceptable to customers anywhere. The brand’s strong acceptance in over 55 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia- Pacific and Africa, is testimony to that. Under his leadership, today Jaquar Group has 7 state-of-the-art manufacturing units in India & 1 in South Korea, spread over 3,30,000 sq.mt., equipped with modern machines and processes. Jaquar’s Faucets Plant is one of the largest manufacturing facilities in the world producing over 1,25,000 bath fittings on a daily basis is the living example and his unrelenting passion for making India self-reliant and a proud nation.
SUCCESS ACHIEVED RESPONSIBLY
“Legacy is not what we do for ourselves, but for coming generations”. Much ahead of the time, as a true leader, believing in eco-friendly and responsible operations, Rajesh has spearheaded the company’s shift to an eco-conscious operation. A champion of Jaquar’s ‘Go Green’ mission, he was instrumental in setting up Jaquar’s Global Headquarters at Manesar (NCR), spread over 48,000 sq. mt., as India’s first and one of Asia’s largest net positive buildings, LEED Platinum certified by the US Green Building Council. Even the group’s manufacturing operations is a zero-waste, green setup that recycles every drop of water and other by-products. Jaquar Group generates over 7.5 MW of solar energy.
A MISSION TO SERVE
Operating under Rajesh Mehra’s guidance, Jaquar Foundation, the Group’s arm that actively contributes to social and economic welfare, is also doing a stellar job as it works together with others to help raise the quality of life for people, especially those having inadequate access to education, healthcare and skill development.
All these efforts sum up the activities of Rajesh Mehra over these past decades and also perhaps explain his being recently chosen by EY to be a winner of their prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
