When our forefathers were fighting for freedom, one man had the vision to build a nation to live free. Seth Shiv Narayan Birla, son of a local tradesman in Pilani, began his quest for glory by moving out of his hometown and being one of the earliest cotton traders in the country. He began trading with China by-passing the British middlemen and made a fortune for his family. Thus began the inception of the Aditya Birla Group by a 17-year-old son of a local tradesman in 1857.
It has a presence in over 35 countries and is currently the third-largest Indian private sector conglomerate with revenue of 44.3 billion USD in 2018. What's more astonishing is the diverse products and services it offers, impacting millions of people every day. We know very well that the metal industry is the base for a nation's economy. ABG's HINDALCO, a leading manufacturer in Aluminium and copper, has been operating since 1958. ABG has also made its mark in the building and construction sector with the flagship product in UltraTech Cements and building materials. It has truly become the Engineer's choice. From the apparels that we wear to the love we share with distant ones, ABG has been walking the journey in our everyday life. ABG is the world's largest producer of viscose staple fiber. It sells in-house brands such as Louis Phillipe, Allen Solly, Peter England, etc. Commonly known for its elegant advertising with the Cheeka pug, Vodafone India has been a part of connecting the world and is ready for the exciting future. Aditya Birla Capital which is the umbrella brand for all the financial services business of the Aditya Birla group has a strong presence across various businesses like life insurance, asset management, lending, equity, and commodity broking, etc. The group is one of the largest producers of carbon black worldwide. Minacs is the technology arm of the group which provides IT and BPO services.
The diverse portfolio of the conglomerate has definitely made an impact on most of our lives. Connecting distant places, UltraTech projects have made travel comforting. The trendy apparel brands are my go-to choice while shopping. I can instantly connect with my friends and family with the Vodafone network. There are many other products and services which has made an impact either directly or indirectly on everyone's life. The 162-year-old conglomerate is playing a tremendous role in shaping the future of this nation and the lives of millions of people all over the world.
