Aditya Birla Group is one of India’s top conglomerates with its reach in almost all sectors of business. Be it banking, fashion, mining, telecom, chemicals, cement or financial services, ABG has been a leader in every sector. It is currently the third largest Indian private sector conglomerate in terms of revenue.
ABG traces its inception to 1857 when the company was established by Seth Shiv Narayan Birla. It was the time when India was under British rule and almost no freedom of any kind was provided to Indians. After Independence, the license raj of the Indian government pushed many businesses to the verge of extinction. Although ABG, owing to its visionary leadership and dedication towards its duties, sustained. After the liberalization of the Indian Economy in 1991, ABG started growing rapidly. Now it has grown to become a US $ 44.3 billion company with its reach in 34 countries.
I strongly relate to ABG fashion and telecom as these ware the verticals of ABG I have most interacted with. ABG fashion has a lot of Indian and international brands under its umbrella including Allen Solly, Forever 21, People and Van Heusen. This gives the consumers a vast variety of options and the latest fashion trends in the market to choose from.
Vodafone Idea Limited is the leading telecom service provider in India and second largest globally. The ease of availability of its services and excellent voice and broadband connectivity across India has enabled it to reach 92% of the population of the country.
ABG is not only a company worth billions of dollars; it is the one which puts ethics and values at the top of its priority list. Its CSR activities are a clear representation of its ambitions for society. ABG actively contributes to the social and economic development of the communities of this country. Education, healthcare, sustainable livelihood, infrastructure developments are some of the focus areas ABG works towards.
Aditya Birla Group’s current Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, believes that if living by our values means growing at a slower pace than one would have hoped, then so be it. This is the kind of values this world needs at the moment and this planet would be a better place to live in soon enough.
