History
From humble beginnings back in 1861, the Birla Empire started by Raja Baldeo Das Birla, has evolved into a global conglomerate.
Under the management of his four sons, J.K. Birla, R.D. Birla, G.D. Birla and B.M. Birla, the group business grew, leading to a split in the companies and assets. Today the Yash Birla Group is a well diversified entity with a turnover of over INR 30 Billion.
The Birla name is also associated with philanthropic activities.
