About Us

Where passion meetsexcellence

Since its inception as Mahavir Travels in 1988, Mahavir Group has been at the forefront of premium automotive retail in India, while continuing to expand its presence beyond the automotive sector.

Under the leadership of Chairman Yashwant Jhabakh, Mahavir Group entered the premium automotive space in 1998 with one of India's first Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Hyderabad. Today, the Group represents Mercedes-Benz, ŠKODA, ISUZU and MG SELECT through Coastal SELECT, alongside Benelli, Keeway and Moto Vault, with its mobility portfolio extending across India.

In 2018, the Group expanded into the Indian two-wheeler market through Benelli, strengthening its presence through manufacturing and a growing portfolio of renowned global brands including Keeway and, under the Moto Vault flagship, Moto Morini, Zontes and QJ Motor.

Beyond automotive, Mahavir Group continues to expand through Trefoil, Mahavir Sound Room, Indriya, Mahavir Academy and Mahavir Stars — the same commitment to excellence across lifestyle, jewellery, learning and sport.
