3. The roots of the Aditya Birla Group date back
to the 19th century in the picturesque town of
Pilani set amidst the Rajasthan desert. It was here
that Seth Shiv Narayan Birla started trading in
cotton, laying the foundation for the House of
Birla.
In the early part of the 20th century, the
Group's founding father, Mr. Ghanshyamdas
Birla, set up industries in critical sectors such as
textiles and fibre, aluminium, cement, and
chemicals.
The principles by which he lived were soaked
up by his grandson, Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla, the
Group's legendary leader.
Ghanshyam Das "G.D." Birla
(April 10, 1894 – June 11, 1983)
4. A formidable force in Indian industry, Mr. Aditya
Birla dared to dream of setting up a global business
empire at the age of 24. He was the first to put
Indian business on the world map, as far back as
1969, long before globalisation became a buzzword
in India.

• the world‘s largest producer of viscose staple
fibre,
• the largest refiner of palm oil,
• the 3rd largest producer of insulators
• the 6th largest producer of carbon black.
