Nijhawan Group hosted a grand launch of Bansi Lal Nijhawan’s biography ‘Bansi Lal ka Jahaaz’ on 13th December 2015.

The founder of Nijhawan Group, BL Nijhawan is popularly known as the father figure of the Indian travel industry. He started his career in 1946 and is today a living legend of the trade. The group today is blessed by his blessings. He has been to many villages in early 70s and 80s and developed many entrepreneurs into travel agents. He founded the group as the GSA for British Airways in 1974. With 69 years in the business he is one of the gurus and by far one of the most respected person in the booming travel business in India. He pioneered the overseas travel industry in Punjab, India from the 50s onwards. BOAC, later known as British Airways was known by an entirely different name in the Punjab, it was known as Bansilal da Jahaaj! Not surprisingly he is referred to as the Bhishma Pitamah of Travel in the Punjab travel and tourism circles.

It was a joyous moment well attended by the entire travel & trade fraternity to salute the founder of Nijhawan Group and a legend of the Indian travel industry.
