The Impact a product has on the average day of a commoner is perhaps the easiest way to measure the success of a business. But the Impact area is wider, starting from the shirt you wear, the concrete you stand on, the roof above you, the phone call you just made, the alloy in your car wheel, the carbon black in the rubber tyre below that, the TV show you just saw and so on. You realise that the company has become a part of your daily life – an achievement beyond the scales of success. This is what the Aditya Birla Group has achieved.
ABG or Aditya Birla Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate with branches in Asia and beyond. It was founded in 1857 by Shiv Narayan Birla and has been succeeded by his lineage. The flagship company was established post-independence in 1947. ABG is now a $44.3 billion corporate and is in the league of Fortune 500. Headed by Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, it employs over 120000 workers belonging to 42 different nationalities. Over 50% of Group revenues flow from overseas operations that span 34 countries in the North and South America, Africa and Asia. Globally the ABG is at the tip in Aluminium rolling, viscose staple fibre, carbon black, second in telecom, third in cement and fourth in insulators. In India, the group leads in fashion, cement, telecom and is a leading player in finance and life insurance.
ABG continues to grow as the biggest conglomerate in the Asia-pacific and in the world. ABG touches millions in the world. The presence of ABG in my life is massive. Mentioning any one product of ABG would not do justice to the role that ABG has played in my life. Yes, ABG continues to inspire millions of people.
