Our Heritage

The foundation for the Birla House in India was laid in 1861.

The CK Birla Group was established by Mr. B.M. Birla, a great visionary and one of India's outstanding business leaders of all time. The mantle of his rich legacy is carried forward by his grandson, Mr. C.K. Birla, son of Mr. G.P. Birla.

Spanning four continents, the CK Birla Group has global revenues of more than $1.7 billion with interests in major industries, including automobile, bearings, earthmoving and power transmission equipment, heavy machinery, paper, cement, building products and electrical products and information technology. The group has a track record of successful partnerships and collaborations with technology leaders like General Motors, Caterpillar, Ford Motors, Mitsubishi Motors, Isuzu Motors and NTN to name a few.

The group entered the information technology arena in 1992-93. Initially, the company, Birla Horizons International, concentrated on professional services with offices in New Delhi, New Jersey and California. In 1995, the company was rejuvenated and renamed Birlasoft Inc. when GE Capital joined the company as a strategic investor. Over the years Birlasoft has evolved into an institution with more than 3800+ employees across the globe.
