Aditya Birla Group (ABG), with its 162 years of legacy and being one the most influential conglomerates in India has a huge impact on our daily lives. The group has been a harbinger of growth with its revenues reaching $44 billion in 2018. It is in the true sense an Indian as well as a global company with 120,000 employees belonging to 42 different nationalities, operations in 34 countries and 50% revenues coming from international operations. ABG has been a true contributor to the Indian economy.
Personally, I’ve felt a big presence of the group in the clothing sector (Allen Solly, Peter England, Pantaloons, Van Heusen, Pantaloons), cement industry (Ultra Tech Cement), household items (Freshwrap & Freshpakk), financial services (Aditya Birla Capital Ltd.) and telecom (Idea). With a wide range of fashion brand portfolio, the group has catered to both premium and ordinary segments of the society. In the financial sector the group’s mutual funds have created a lot of value for investors.
The group has been influential in the manufacturing and agricultural sector providing employment to lakhs of people and at the same time adding new chapters to the development story of India.
Along with business, the group hasn’t ignored the plight of underprivileged of the Indian society. The group’s initiatives across sectors like education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. has impacted millions of people and has ushered in a wave of change.
In a nutshell, Aditya Birla Group depicts true Indian values aiding towards the development of our nation and its citizens.
