The fore-father of the Birla family is Shiv Narain Birla, a member of the Marwari Maheshwari community from Pilani, Jhunjhunu, in the westerly state of Rajasthan. He moved to Bombay around 1857 to establish a trading house. His son, Baldeodas Birla moved to Calcutta in 1861 to set up his own business and continued the family.
