Kumar Mangalam Birla on the Principles and Practices of the Aditya Birla Group (interview)
The 2014 interview framed the group as straddling 36 countries in businesses as diverse as metals, carbon black, viscose staple fibre, mobile telephony, cement and fertilisers. Birla's strategic logic: each business is a separate vertical operated professionally, but all draw on the group's shared capital-allocation discipline, talent pipeline and family values — the Birla operating-system thesis.
