(1918 - 1990)
Syt. Madhav Prasadji Birla, born on July 4, 1918, was a pioneer industrialist and philanthropist. An eminent member of Birla Industrial Empire, Syt. Birla was a living example of simplicity, humanity, discipline and dedication-qualities he imbibed owing to the deep influence of Mahatma Gandhi on his life. A true karmayogi, he always regarded himself as a trustee of his empire, his credo being “From God we receive and to God we offer”. With his exemplary foresight, he played an instrumental role in the all-round development of the Birla Group and build multi-product industries over the years. He also played a leading role in setting up a number of educational and medical institutions. Deeply concerned to improve the quality of life, he gave himself to a number of public causes. Being totally devoid of ego and averse to self-publicity, he contributed a lot to charitable causes without expecting anything or allowing his name to be associated with his generous donations.
(1928 - 2004)
After the passing away of the great soul on July 30, 1990, the mantle fell on his wife, Smt. Priiyamvadaji Birla, who had put untiring efforts to carry out the mission of Syt Madhav Prasadji Birla. Under her able guidance, the Group flourished and the philanthropic activities had received further impetus. Apart from giving leadership to the M.P. Birla Group of Companies, she was guiding the philanthropic activities of the Group as the perfect representative of her late husband.
Thousand of people make money, very few have the magnanimity and the wisdom to spend it wisely. Syt, M. P. Birla and Smt Priyamvadaji Birla are among these rare few.
(1942 - 2008)
After the demise of Smt. Birla, the company continued to consolidate in terms of profitability, competitiveness and growth under the leadership of Shri Rajendraji S. Lodha, late Chairman of the M.P.Birla Group. Under his leadership, the Company posted its best ever results in the year ended 31.3.2006, 31.3.2007 and 31.3.2008.
