Aditya Birla Group is one of India's largest conglomerates offering innovative products and services and reaching out to millions globally. Its vision is to be a premium global conglomerate with a clear focus on each of the businesses which they are trying to achieve by delivering superior values to their customers, shareholders, employees, and society at large.
When looking around and looking through the years, I find that Aditya Birla as a group has had its presence in varied aspects of my life. I remember buying my Idea mobile phone sim card that I have been using for the past three years. It has not only catered to my communication but data needs as well. As I always aimed to enter the corporate world, I was sure of coming to Mumbai and working in the financial services field. As I started working, I realised that most financial services firms have their offices in Worli, Mumbai. My daily travel involved passing through the Bandra-Worli sea link, to which, Aditya Birla has contributed through Ultratech Cement Ltd. The biggest presence it has had, has been in the apparel segment. All my office wardrobe needs get fulfilled by brands like Allen Solly and Van Heusen. I look at these brands from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. as one stop shops for comfortable and elegant workwear. My family is into investment consultancy and hence I have, over my growing years, closely seen my father working with the Birla Sun Life insurance employees as he was working as an insurance agent. In my first year of MBA at NMIMS, Mumbai, I got a chance to interview Mr. Ajay Srinivasan, the CEO of Aditya Birla Capital Limited which was a very good experience and it helped me develop a different kind of perspective of looking at the corporate world. This describes the pervasiveness of the group in my life.
With 162 years of legacy, Aditya Birla Group (ABG) is a behemoth of stupendous proportions, cutting across a plethora of industries and touching 1.25 billion lives, making it almost a ubiquitous and indispensable presence in the heartland of Asia- Our India.
"Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life."
Aditya Birla group is one of the largest groups in India. The group has eliminated the conventional barriers of business because of the deep care about the community and to believe that it is their duty to facilitate inclusive growth. Their work in the community focuses on health-care, education, the girl child, sustainable livelihood, women empowerment projects, infrastructure and espousing social reform. As a conglomerate of US $44.3 billion Corporation, the Aditya Birla Group is in the League of Fortune 500. Anchored by an extraordinary force of over 120,000 employees belonging to 42 nationalities, the Group is built on a strong foundation of stakeholder value creation. With over seven decades of responsible business practices, their businesses has grown into global powerhouses in a wide range of sectors – metals, textiles, carbon black, telecom and cement. Today, over 50% of Group revenues flow from overseas operations that span 34 countries in North and South America, Africa and Asia. An enduring passion for work, entrepreneurial spirit, and high ethical standards is what defines their leadership team. Aligned with the Aditya Birla Group’s vision to be a premium global conglomerate, the leadership team has been critical in helping expand the Group’s footprint and to secure numero uno status in many of its businesses, and that will be a great opportunity to work with such an esteemed group.
Life was a roller-coaster ride for me, with many ups and downs throughout.
Just like how a beautiful jigsaw puzzle is formed out of a multitude of smaller tiles, the big things in life are also a combination of smaller things that seem simple and inconsequential when considered individually. Following this trail of thought, it makes one wonder if Seth Shiv Narayan Birla had any idea of the legacy his cotton and jute trading business would reap. 162 years down the road, the jigsaw puzzle is humongous and still expanding. Aditya Birla Group is India’s third-largest private conglomerate and operates in over 30 different countries, handling a wide variety of businesses.
