Jan 01, 2025

Professor Sougata Ray, Thomas Schmidheiny Chair and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship (Practice) at ISB, is quoted in an article in Outlook Business on Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairperson of Aditya Birla Group.

The article titled ‘Kumar Mangalam Gets Ready to Fight for Birla’s Future’ sheds light on how the conglomerate is planning to expand his business and respond to competition.

“Being a conglomerate with a multi-decadal legacy, the Birlas will respond to competition within each business segment as per the industry dynamics. It is quite natural that it will be forced to be more proactive and innovative in a particular business segment when it faces competition from other well-capitalised business groups,” opines Professor Sougata Ray.
