Wearing the pride of ABG (Aditya Birla Group) | Vishal.V, IIFT

Wearing the pride of ABG (Aditya Birla Group) | Vishal.V, IIFT

        During my early days at college (in 2013), I was ignorant and unaware of the concept of being professionally dressed. The term “professional” seemed foreign to me. That’s when my father introduced me to the world of elegant and professional clothing. The first and foremost thing brand that appealed to me was Peter England. On wearing the same, I felt a sense of comfort and ownership, making me opt for it. Thus, I ended up trusting Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (ABFRL), fashion sector of Aditya Birla Group and is India's first billion-dollar pure-play fashion powerhouse. In the following months, I had gone out to purchase business casuals clothing. Renown for premium casual shirts, I chose to buy from ABFRL’s brands: Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Louis Philippe. Even when I had issues with the shirt or pant sizes, the store staff had always ensured that the issue is rectified soon enough. This sense of loyalty to the customers initiated my ever-lasting association with the group. Ever since I started wearing these, I had felt confident on important occasions and interviews. I have always felt a sense of oneself while wearing these branded shirts.  My association with ABG continued beyond my college days as well. During my stint in the automobile sector for almost 2 years, I wore these branded shirts every day, eliciting praise from others for my dressing sense. My association with ABG for the past 8 years will prolong for a long time, given the quick connection I had with their products. The interesting part about the group is that they have always known the target audience, gauging the future trends of youngsters like me.

Aditya Birla Group, multinational conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai touches millions in the world. It is unlikely that someone has never used a product, or travelled on a road or visited a site where ABG has not contributed in some way.

From Kara face wipes which in now owned by Future group to Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual fund I have used many of the Aditya Birla Group’s products. In many ways I have seen it grow bigger. For example, Hindalco it ranks among the top 5 global aluminum majors it’s share price was at Rs.52 in 2000 and now it is priced 4 times more. The group's firm Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd sells in-house brands such as Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Peter England and People which were top choices for formals clothing but are now offering casuals too. With Idea and Vodafone merger they have acquired 31% market share in telecom industry. Ultratech cement in India’s number 1 cement brand and is holding that position for a long time now.

Coincidentally, Aditya Birla Group is the reason why it is and will be standing tall for years to come.

ABG - In the ABC of life - TAPMI

Aditya Birla is a brand which I have been around since my childhood days. Wherever there is civilization, one is bound to have heard or used products from Aditya Birla Group. Our house in Bhubaneswar was constructed using Aditya Birla cement. During my days as a Relationship Manager at Axis Bank, I used to wear formals from ABG brands like Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Peter England. Being a commerce graduate I have not been around ABG’s industrial brands. But during my M.Com course at St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, I conducted a research on mutual funds performance evaluation and lo and behold among the top 30 equity mutual funds was the Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Fund. Family outings usually comprised of shopping trips to our nearby Pantaloons outlet which is an experience on its own. The variety of brands and huge discounts enabled a middle-class family like ours to wear branded clothes on a budget. The late night talks with friends, last minute projects, and staying in touch with loved ones was possible due to the reliable network of Idea and Vodafone. My parents are also policyholders of Birla Sun Life term insurance, which enables them to take life one step at a time and be assured about my future in case of a mishap. Two years ago, my mother had an accident due to which her knee cap had multiple fractures and we were scared that she may not recover fully or even be able to walk. We had rushed her to Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital which was the biggest hospital nearby. Due to the expert care taken by the doctors there and with considerable physiotherapy she can now walk and even run at a slow pace. To conclude I want to emphasize on the pervasiveness of ABG brands in my daily life and that most people don’t realize the value a company is able to add to the daily lives of people.
