About Us

Where passion meetsexcellence

Since its inception as Mahavir Travels in 1988, Mahavir Group has grown from its roots in mobility to establish a strong presence in premium automotive retail, while continuing to expand beyond the automotive sector.

Under the leadership of Chairman Yashwant Jhabakh, Mahavir Group entered the premium automotive space in 1998 with its first Mercedes-Benz dealership in Hyderabad. Today, the Group represents Mercedes-Benz, ŠKODA, ISUZU and MG Select through Coastal SELECT, with its mobility portfolio extending across India.

In 2018, the Group expanded into two-wheeler manufacturing through Benelli, marking a new chapter in its motorcycle journey. Since then, its motorcycle portfolio has grown with brands such as Keeway, alongside Moto Vault, its premium motorcycle flagship representing QJ Motor, Moto Morini and Zontes.

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

Chairman’s Message

A personal invitation

Welcome to Mahavir Group.

Every enduring journey is defined by the choices we make along the way. Some take us into familiar territory, while others lead us towards possibilities yet to be explored. At Mahavir Group, we have always embraced both—with purpose, curiosity, and the conviction to move forward.

Over the years, this spirit of exploration has shaped a diverse and evolving journey. From Mercedes-Benz, ŠKODA, ISUZU, and MG Select to Benelli, Keeway, and Moto Vault, mobility remains an integral part of our story.

Beyond the automotive landscape, our journey extends into aluminium foil manufacturing through Trefoil, technology and immersive experiences through Mahavir Sound Room, fine jewelry and luxury through Indriya, and sports through Mahavir Stars.

Trust and meaningful relationships.

Every venture we undertake is an opportunity to learn, innovate, and create something distinctive. It is also an opportunity to build relationships that transcend transactions—relationships founded on trust, strengthened by experience, and nurtured over time.

"Creating Value Through Relationships"

This philosophy lies at the heart of Mahavir Group. It influences the businesses we build, the partnerships we cultivate, and the trust we earn from our customers, associates, and communities.

As we look towards the future, our vision remains open to new ideas, emerging industries, and possibilities that can shape tomorrow. We aspire to build businesses that are not only successful but enduring—businesses that create meaningful value and contribute positively to the communities around us.

Mahavir Group is a journey of continuous evolution. A journey shaped by ambition, guided by values, and enriched by the people and partnerships that have been part of our story.

We invite you to explore Mahavir Group, discover the diverse journeys that have brought us here, and experience the possibilities that lie ahead.

Best Regards,

Yashwant Jhabakh
