ABGLP-From trading cotton to being in everyone's life- TAPMI

Aditya Birla Group is a Indian Conglomerate founded by Shiv Narayan Birla along with his son Baldeo Das Birla, with a vision of making India’s own Cotton based trading Industry during the 1850s when Indian Independence Revolution was about to be sparked. It was during the early era of 20 th century, when whole world was going through arduous experience of war, Birlas, under their Pioneer Ghanshyam Das Bilra rose to immense expansion due to rapid increase in demand of gunny bags, increasing the Groups net worth from 2 million to 8 Million within few years. By the end of 1930 group has its own Jute mill Birla Jute, several Cotton and Sugar Industries and have its own Publication, Textile, Automobile and chemical Industries by the 1950s.

Currently Birla Group is under the vision of KM Birla, operating in 35 countries with an employee base of 120K with revenues of $44 Billion in 2018 and has now reached Fashion and Finance Services along with many Esteemed Educational and Medical Institutes running under Birlas. Being an Indian, one can hardly be escaped from being touched by the Birlas. For me, the ABG’s cement Ultratech and the cellular Idea along with the Fashion house Pantaloons has the biggest impact. I still remember the old schools days when my ancestor’s home was being renovated and myriad of Ultratech sacks were lying in our courtyard ready to be molded and give us the house of our dream . The house holds all the sweet biiter memories with Ultratech lying in its every bits. I still remember when I passed the high school and moved to hostel, it was the first time I have to leave my home. Being the youngest member of the family it was tough for my family also. It was the time I got my first cell phone and guess what ,here also it was ABG who was my companion. With Idea providing the lowest call and SMS rates , it was natural for zero earning person like me to move it. Whenever I feel lonely, My Mother was just a call away from me. Whenever I needed guidance , I connect with my teachers and father. In the era when Internet was not for everyone, the Idea has provided me the calls at minimal rate to have all my doubts cleared over the phone. It’s all those sweet and bitter memories , motivational talks, all the laughs and wishes have made me the person I am. The Birlas were not just Industrialists they were also the greatest of the visionaries. They had foreseen all the situations and changes, invested in right industries at right time making India a Global Business force, Way before it was officially being tried by Indian Government.
