Ajay Dilawri is a leading entrepreneur whose  vision, perseverance, leadership, and social conscience continues to improve the lives of many people in our province. He has made a significant and far-reaching impact throughout British Columbia.

Ajay and his brothers Kap and Tony are the founders of the Dilawri Group – the largest automotive group in Canada, with over 4,000 employees and 76 automotive dealerships across Canada. With 24 dealerships in BC alone, he supports more than 2,000 employees and their families in his home province. Through vast commercial real estate holdings and many other successful operating businesses, he invests millions of dollars into the province’s economy every year. His significant investment in electrical vehicle development will also help address climate change and contribute to a greener economy.

The Dilawri brothers’ success is largely based on learning a strong work ethic from their parents who immigrated to Canada from India. They haven’t forgotten their upbringing and have built the business not only for financial success but to generate enough capital to give back to the community.

With a focus on children and healthy outcomes, the Dilawri Foundation has quietly donated tens of millions of dollars to help charitable causes in health care, mental health, education, autism, and public safety. Ajay believes that by giving children a solid foundation early in life, they are infinitely more likely to thrive in the future.

Dilawri uses his considerable leadership skills daily to ensure the well-being of British Columbians. His commitment to making BC a better place to live creates a healthier and more productive population, which benefits everyone in the province.
