Cosmic Birla Group driving inclusive growth and sustainable transformation across industries, from grassroots employment to green mobility and strategic manufacturing

Powering Potential and Possibilities

The year 2047 awaits the fulfilment of an ambitious target for the country towards a Viksit Bharat. I am convinced that for real transformation, we must begin from the ground level.

My journey as an entrepreneur, backed by over five decades of family legacy in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, has taught me that while we make the top end aspirational, we must also make the bottom end resilient.

At Cosmic Birla Group, our growth has not just been about scale but also about impact. From a 17-member team, we have grown into a 160-member skilled workforce, built through our core principle of skilling the unskilled and training the untrained. In places like Singur, West Bengal, we've taken unskilled workers and turned them into a skilled force overseeing operations that now generate over ₹300 crore in turnover.

The Labour of Historical Fiction

I don’t know if I can pinpoint when the idea to write fiction took root in my mind, but five years into working as an oral historian of the 1947 Partition, the landscape of what would become my first novel had grown too insistent to ignore.
