Aditya Birla Group Is Big in My Life
Aditya Birla Group is big in my life as it possesses capability of fulfilling all my needs right from the internet connectivity which I’m using to research for this article, the garments I’m wearing, to financial services that I have used to shop for it.
ABG an Indian Conglomerate operates in about 35 nations of the world and owns manufacturing plants worldwide like mines in Australia, Columbian Chemicals Company, mills in South Asia etc. The most unique thing about ABG is that it makes its brands seem to be exotic. Before researching for this article I had no IDEA that brands like VAN HUSEN, Peter England, Allen Solly were “DESI”, but thought of them being founded outside India there are manufactured in India under Mudhura fashion owned by ABG.
The thing that fascinates me most about ABG is the age at which I’ll be earning my first salary, Aditya Birla founded Aditya Birla Group and started building his empire. It is said that the successful businessman and trader G.D Birla once had a vision from goddess Saraswati. In that vison the goddess Said to G.D. Birla the more he contributes to the development of education and society more will be his growth in business. This not just led to formation of a business empire but a education and social organization which contribute to the development of nation. He diversified the family owned fabric business to number of different un-related businesses like viscose staple, metals, cement, branded apparel, carbonblack, chemicals, financial services, telecom, BPO, IT services etc. making ABG 3rd largest business house in India.
The Group also links to strong heritage, with Birla family being one of the most important supporters to India’s struggle for Independence. Ghanshyam Das Birla was a close associate and a steady supporter to Mahatma Gandhi. He also provided financial backing to the movement of Independence and was actively engaged in talks with British for attainment of freedom.
