In our previous blog, Life at BAJAAO, we unveiled the incredible team behind our brand, the creative minds that help us grow every day to support your musical dreams. Today, we want to introduce you to one of those key figures—Rajesh Joshi, a long-standing member of the BAJAAO family. Rajesh not only oversees our company but also shares invaluable insights about the market, blending his passion for music with a deep understanding of business. Here’s a glimpse into his journey with BAJAAO over the years.
Rajesh Joshi's Journey with BAJAAO
"I've always aspired to play a musical instrument. Like many others, I too dreamt of forming a band and becoming a rockstar. When I joined BAJAAO in 2010, I was an outsider to this industry. I was the fifth team member and the only non-musician among India's leading musicians with dreadlocks."
"For the past five years, I’ve been a part of BAJAAO's incredible evolution—from a modest 40 sq. ft. office to a sprawling 4000 sq. ft. space, from a team of 5 to over 50 dedicated individuals, and from offering 1000 products to over 10,000. Our customer base has grown from 5,000 to over 150,000 satisfied clients. We've pioneered initiatives like the first Jam Room in India and an underground live performance venue. From a sound rental company to hosting India’s first metal show, BAJAAO has always led the way."
"We’re not just another e-commerce company. BAJAAO.com is arguably India's oldest running e-commerce platform, and we take pride in being the first choice for musicians across the country. Artists choose us because they trust us, a trust we've worked hard to earn and are committed to maintaining. BAJAAO embodies a philosophy of doing our absolute best for musicians, artists, and performers."
"It's rare to find an opportunity where you can earn a livelihood while making a meaningful impact. Working at BAJAAO has given me this chance. We've made a significant difference in the music scene in India, contributing to the growth of this industry in our own unique way."
"An evolutionary journey like BAJAAO's inevitably faces challenges. When we encounter problems, we simply work harder and smarter until we find a solution. For me, this journey has been deeply fulfilling, as we've helped our customers achieve their desires, dreams, and wishes. Fulfilling dreams leads to success, and I believe it's crucial that an Indian company like BAJAAO continues to thrive."
"BAJAAO's success symbolizes India's readiness for change and growth in unconventional industries and markets. This growth is driven by the disruptions brought about by entrepreneurs and passionate people working in companies like ours. BAJAAO epitomizes the spirit of entrepreneurship—the belief that a young person can dream big and merge their greatest capabilities to create a vision and mission for others to follow."
"Congratulations to Ashu on BAJAAO's 10th anniversary. BAJAAO is a place where you can fulfill your dreams and pursue your love for music."
