Where do you live? A metropolitan, a tier II city, a town or a small village. No matter which place you belong to, it’s almost impossible that you have never come across the Aditya Birla Group Products and Services. If you haven’t, you might as well be living north of the wall. That’s how massive a presence ABG has in India and over the world.
Employing a work force of over 120,000 people belonging to 42 nationalities, ABG operates across 35 countries. It is the third-largest Indian private sector conglomerate behind Tata Group and RIL.
The Aditya Birla Group has been an integral part of our daily everyday life. It has a plethora of businesses under it, notably Grasim (textiles), Ultratech cement, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL), Birla Carbon (carbon black), Aditya Birla Chemicals (chemicals), Aditya Birla Insulators (insulators) amongst many others. On a personal front, ABFRL has been the most relatable of them all. It has been a one stop shop for many years of my life.
ABFRL hosts India's largest fashion network with over 11,000 points of sale, which include close to 2,500 exclusive ABFRL brand outlets across 750+ cities and towns, 4,900+ multi-brand outlets and 4000+ department stores across the country.
Although leading the world in many sectors, The Group, owing to a large part of it to its rich legacy and business principles, has steered clear from the contemporary to be ahead of the curve because the leadership believes that it is our duty to facilitate inclusive growth. The Aditya Birla Group works in 5,000 villages, reaching out to 7.5 million people annually through the Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development.
Coming from Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla (Chairman, Aditya Birla Group) himself "Great businesses are never built on the quick sands of opportunism. I reiterate that, if living by our values means, perhaps growing at a pace slower than we would otherwise have liked, so be it. For us, leadership lies at the heart of knowing what we stand for."
