Aditya Birla Group is the third largest Indian private sector conglomerate. It started as a Jute Manufacturing Company in 1919, and subsequently transformed into a leading multi-product conglomerate covering varied business sectors. It has a presence in over 20 countries, making it one of the most popular companies in the world from India.
With India getting independence, Birla group began developing their industrial empire in earnest. The family quickly branched out into a number of sectors successfully.
Aditya Birla's major subsidiaries include Grasim, the world's leading producer of viscose staple fiber, and a manufacturer of rayon grade pulp, cement, sponge iron, textiles, and chemicals. Hindalco, a leading producer of aluminum and copper. UltraTech Cement, which produces portland cement and related products. Aditya Birla Nuvo, which manufactures clothing, textiles, and carbon black and is India's second largest producer of viscose filament yarn. Indo Gulf, a fertilizer producer. Birla NGK Insulators which is the world's leading producer of insulators, and Idea Cellular Ltd., a mobile service provider jointly owned with fellow Indian conglomerate Tata Industries.
From childhood wearing Peter England clothes and showing it to friends to gifting Louis Phillippe shirt to father and shopping at pantaloons with friends, Aditya Birla brand has definitely influenced my life in some or other way. When Abhishek Bachchan said "Ek idea Jo Badal De Aapki Duniya" in his strong voice like his father's , we believed in him and switched to Idea and still continue to use it even in this competitive world. Definitely Aditya Birla has very strong influential presence in the middle class culture of this country.
