Pune/Mumbai, Sep 05: The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis laid the foundation stone for Bajaj FinservCampus at Koregaon Park Annexe, Pune – designed to be India’s first sentient corporate campus. Built with AI and IOT at its core, the building will sense its environment and occupants’ needs and proactively adapt in real time.
The ceremony was attended by Sunetra Pawar, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra; Manjusha Nagpure, Pune Mayor, and other state dignitaries.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis said,
“Maharashtra has a strong industrial character and one of the names that defines it is the Bajaj family. The late Jamnalal Bajaj was a great freedom fighter, Gandhian leader and industrialist who made an important contribution to India’s industrial journey and nation-building. Over the past century, the Bajaj Group has been an important partner in India’s overall development journey. In financial services, Bajaj Finserv, a part of the Group, stands out against every benchmark. The company has consistently leveraged financial technology and is a key player in our fintech ecosystem, helping people access loans, insurance and other financial services easily in a digital economy. The Bajaj Finserv Campus will not only be the largest but also the most intelligent and sustainable ecosystem in the country. As fintech becomes increasingly central to Pune, I congratulate Sanjiv Bajaj for choosing to build the country’s largest Campus here, further cementing Maharashtra’s position in fintech.”
Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv, said,
“Just as we have worked to bring millions of first-time borrowers into the formal financial system, we are equally committed to being responsible custodians of the environment. Sustainability and inclusion are two sides of the same commitment to a better India, and the Bajaj Finserv Campus will be an expression of that belief.”
“Built to global LEED and IGBC standards, the Campus will combine eco-efficient and biophilic designs with AI-driven systems and operateentirely on renewable energy. While futuristic, we want it to be unmistakably Indian, bringing together art and heritage from across the country, including lost art forms. Above all, it is being designed around the health and wellbeing of our people. The Campus will be a testament to a tech-ready future and to India’s growing financial and technological strength,” he added.
The Bajaj Finserv Campus will serve as the corporate office of Bajaj Finserv and bring its diversified financial services businesses, spanning lending, deposits, payments, insurance and investments, together at a common address for the first time. At 7.2 million square feet, it is set to house Pune’s tallest steel tower and India’s largest single-location financial services office.
An intelligent Campus that senses and adapts
The Bajaj Finserv Campus is being designed around three pillars – sustainability, environmental design and employee well-being, with technology serving as a foundation.
AI and IoT systems will enable the Campus to respond to changing weather, occupancy and environmental conditions. Sensors and analytics will help optimise energy and water consumption, crowd density and movement, and make operations safer and more efficient. Predictive maintenance systems using IoT sensors will monitor critical infrastructure, while automation and robotics will support Campus operations.
Designed around Sustainability and People
The Campus’ eco-efficient design will maximise natural breeze and daylight while reducing cooling requirements. The Campus will operate on renewable energy and target 80% water recycling, rainwater harvesting and zero waste, supporting Bajaj Finserv’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY2032.
It’s biophilic design will bring nature into the workplace through extensive green zones, including rare Ayurvedic gardens, Miyawaki and replanted native forests. Native species from Maharashtra will be used to support biodiversity.
Employee wellbeing will be supported by floor and clusterlevel monitoring of air quality and temperature, enabling a healthier workplace.
An integrated Bajaj One Employee App will provide access to campus facilities, including navigation, parking and bookings. The Campus will also have an integrated medical centre offering telemedicine and emergency response services, along with dedicated wellness support.
Featuring IndianArts, Heritage and Social Impact work
Indian art and craft traditions will be woven into the Campus design. These will include existing as well as lost arts.
Elements of Bajaj Finserv’s Corporate Social Responsibility programmes and contributions by their beneficiaries will also be integrated into the design of the Campus.
The Bajaj Finserv Campus will reflect the spirit of Made in India, Made for India, Made by India.
