6. After sudden demise of his father, noted

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.

garments on the one hand and cement,
aluminium and fertilisers on the other.

wrong.

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.

then there was no place for younger people to rise. So
it was important to institute a retirement policy.

8.  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

leading business men.
