After sudden demise of his father, noted industrialist Aditya Birla, after whom the group is named, when Kumar Mangalam Birla assumed the mantle at the Aditya Birla Group,

Doubts were raised about his ability to handle a giant business house.

With interests spanning viscose, textiles and garments on the one hand and cement, aluminium and fertilisers on the other.

But Kumar Mangalam proved his skeptics wrong.

He brought in radical changes, changed business strategies, professionalised the entire group and replaced internal systems.

Mr. Kumar Mangalam reduced his group's dependence on the cyclic commodities sectors by entering consumer products.

He changed all that for the benefit of the Company. According to him, he felt that if people never retired, then there was no place for younger people to rise. So it was important to institute a retirement policy.

When Mr. Aditya Birla, Mr. Kumar’s father died in 1995, the group was already worth Rs.8,000 Crores.

If Mr. Kumar had been content to manage the business that his father left him and had not bothered with acquisitions or new projects, he would probably be sitting on a group that was worth around Rs.12,000 Crores today merely on the basis of normal growth.

And even at that level, he would be still country’s leading business men.

But he struggled for 2 to 3 years to come up and prove himself and settled his business.

Thus, because of his determination by facing all the adverse situations today after 15 years he has transformed his father’s empire to Rs.34,000 Crores by his Knowledge, Passion, Entrepreneurship, Interest & Leadership.

Kumar took over a company worth Rs. 8000 Crores and transformed it into a 34,000 Crores empire, estimating his net worth at $9.2 billion.
