Ranoji Scindia (c. 1700 – 3 July 1745), also known as Ranoji Sendrak, was a Maratha military commander and the founder of the Scindia dynasty, and the first monarch establishing the Gwalior State as an independent ruler. He served the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire in several military campaigns. The Scindia dynasty rose to prominence in the 18th century and went on to dominate central and north India as one of the most prominent powers due to their influential presence in Delhi, robust tax collection system (Chauth) from neighboring rulers, and their highly modernized army.
