History 

Jawa Motorcycle was founded by František Janeček in 1929 after he acquired a motorcycle business from Germany. The Czech brand was then introduced in India in 1961 when Rustom and Farrokh Irani started the Ideal Jawa firm by importing Jawa motorcycles in India. Recognizing the demand, Jawa established a factory in Mysore in 1961 with support from the king at the time, Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar.

Between 1961 and 1971, Ideal Jawa manufactured the 250 Type 353/04 under license. Jawa motorcycles quickly earned a reputation for being rugged, simple, and unbreakable. However, in 1971, Ideal Jawa company manufactured and sold the new motorcycles under the name "Yezdi" with technical assistance from Jawa. They then went defunct in 1996 before shutting their operations in the country. 

But in late 2016, Indian conglomerate Mahindra and Mahindra not only acquired the British motorcycle firm BSA, but also got hold of the license to produce and sell Jawa Motorcycles in Indian subcontinent. In 2018 July, Anand Mahindra, Executive Chairman Mahindra Group tweeted the comeback of iconic Jawa brand in India by the end of this year.

Name

František Janeček, a mechanical engineer by profession purchased the motorcycle business Wanderer from German manufacturer Winklhofer & Jaenicke, along with the design and tooling for the new Wanderer 500 motorcycle. Combining the first two letters from "Janiček" and "Wanderer", the first Jawa motorcycle was conceived - the Jawa 500 OHV.
