<p>Good evening!</p><p>It is wonderful to be here in D.C., and I am honored to accept the 2025 USISPF Global Leadership Award. I extend my gratitude to the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum, and to the distinguished guests gathered here tonight. This recognition, in some ways, is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary potential of the U.S.-India partnership.</p><p>In my view, the United States and India represent the two most dynamic economies in the world today—the perma-bets or permanent bets for us at <a href="/">Aditya Birla Group</a>. Both are driven by innovation, talent, and the sheer force of entrepreneurial ambition. The synergies between our two nations—across trade, technology, and manufacturing—are essential to shaping a more prosperous global future.</p><p>At Aditya Birla Group, we believe that the United States is an incredibly attractive location for long-term investment, and we are very proud to be the largest Indian investor in the U.S. Our journey in this market started 18 years ago, when we acquired what was then a loss-making aluminum rolling company, <a href="/businesses/companies/novelis-inc/">Novelis</a>. Today, Novelis, alone is an 18 Billion Dollar behemoth with an annual capacity of 4.1 million tons. More striking still, it is the world’s largest aluminum recycling company, recycling 82 billion cans annually.&nbsp;</p><p>Each time I visit the U.S., I am reminded of why it is the land of opportunity. And we continue to back that belief with action. At Bay Minette, in Alabama we have an ongoing project of US$ 4.1 billion for an integrated aluminium rolling mill— A 3000-acre testament to our ambition. This is our largest greenfield investment in a single location anywhere on the planet. We chose America because we believe in the strength, stability, and promise of this nation. This is the biggest industrial bet ever placed in Alabama’s history. Today, over 1,000 contractors are shaping that vision on the ground. And by the end of the year, we expect that number to double.</p><p>I see this plant as a real catalyst for the region. A thousand permanent jobs. A resurgent local economy. New roads, a hotel under construction, developers lining up. Our commitment, frankly, is beyond capital— we are investing in people, in communities, and in long-term impact. That’s how we operate everywhere in the world. And frankly, this is how globalization should work—not as a zero-sum game, but as shared prosperity.</p><p>Our actions and our investments only reveal our deep-rooted <a href="/businesses/countries/us/">commitment to the US</a> and to the broader Indo-US partnership. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the quiet force behind our journey—our 5400 American colleagues. Their dedication anchors our presence here in the United States.</p><p>To be recognized tonight is not just a personal honor, it is a recognition of what our two nations can accomplish through our longstanding partnership. The journey ahead is filled with promise, and I am energized by what we can build, together.</p><p>Thank you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6YNwakAHCy0?si=0FSIvNjfH3Tr5RDq&amp;start=11672" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p>

Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla’s acceptance speech at USISPF Global Leadership Summit 2025

<p>&nbsp;</p><div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Df981ifwzho" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plastic pollution and industrial waste are among the biggest environmental challenges of our time. Aditya Birla Group’s response is clear: treat waste not just as a problem, but as a resource.</p><p>Across its businesses, Aditya Birla Group is reducing plastic use, recovering materials through innovative technologies, and collaborating with new partners to embed circularity into operations. This Environment Day, we look at how the Group is addressing waste at scale, and with lasting impact.</p><h3><br><strong>A Group-Wide Commitment</strong></h3><p>In FY24, Aditya Birla Group’s India operations generated 4,837 MT of plastic waste. Every tonne was tracked, processed and accounted for through responsible collection, recycling and recovery mechanisms. In fact, 90% of the plastic waste produced by <a href="/businesses/companies/">Aditya Birla Group companies</a> were co-processed to reduce their impact on the environment.</p><p>But, the Group has gone beyond compliance, achieving plastic neutrality and even positivity in several cases. These efforts are aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 12 and 13) and follow the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Waste, not a challenge, but a resource</strong></p></blockquote><h3><br><strong>UltraTech Cement: Making Waste Work</strong></h3><p><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:35%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/male_worker_in_protective_gear_at_waste_processing_facility_12e6741b56.webp" alt="male-worker-in-protective-gear-at-waste-processing-facility.webp">India’s largest cement company is also one of its largest plastic waste processors. In FY24 alone, UltraTech co-processed 4,372 metric tonnes of plastic waste, safely disposing of it in its kilns while recovering energy in the process. This is made possible through active partnerships with over 80 municipal bodies, converting city waste challenges into industrial solutions.</p><p>At scale, this creates measurable impact, especially in massive public events like Maha Kumbh 2025. <a href="/businesses/companies/ultratech-cement-limited/">UltraTech</a> partnered with Prayagraj Nagar Nigam to collect plastic waste from the religious gathering and convert it into alternative fuel at the Dalla Cement Works. &nbsp;</p><p>It has also transformed its own packaging by introducing cement bags made from 50% recycled polypropylene (rPP). This cuts their virgin plastic consumption by 43%.</p><blockquote><p><strong>UltraTech Cement is 3.4 times plastic negative</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Grasim Industries: Every Product Counts</strong></h3><p>From installing plastic bottle crushers in public places to distributing jute and paper bags, <a href="/businesses/companies/grasim-industries-limited/">Grasim</a> promotes recycling and responsible consumption.</p><p>It uses recycled cotton in textile production and has achieved 100% fly ash utilisation at its Chemicals division in Renukoot.</p><p>The “Green Champions” programme encourages employees to drive sustainability through energy conservation and community engagement.</p><p>Liva Reviva and Excel fibres, developed by the company, are industry-recognised examples of circular product innovation.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Green Champions: Grasim’s employees leading the sustainability charge.</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Hindalco: Building the Circular Economy</strong></h3><p>Through <a href="/businesses/companies/novelis-inc/">Novelis</a>, its global subsidiary, Hindalco is promoting aluminium as a sustainable alternative to plastic in packaging.</p><p><a href="/businesses/companies/hindalco-industries-limited/">Hindalco</a> is also investing ₹2,000 crore in a facility to recycle copper scrap and e-waste into LME-grade copper and precious metals, addressing one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams.</p><p>The company is also exploring renewable energy and carbon capture technologies. A recent agreement with Greenko Group will supply carbon-free electricity to its Odisha smelter, reducing CO₂ emissions by 680,000 MT annually.</p><blockquote><p><strong>₹2,000 crore: Hindalco’s investment in e-waste and copper scrap recycling</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>ABFRL and ABLBL: Fashion with Responsibility</strong></h3><p><a href="/businesses/companies/aditya-birla-fashion-and-retail-limited-abfrl/">Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (ABFRL)</a> and <a href="/businesses/companies/aditya-birla-lifestyle-brands-limited/">Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited (ABLBL)</a> are phasing out plastic packaging and shifting to sustainable, biodegradable alternatives.</p><p>In FY22, 86% of packaging was already sustainable, with a target of 100% by this year (2025). Brands like Madura Fashion &amp; Lifestyle and <a href="/businesses/brands/tasva">TASVA </a>now use bio-compostable materials for polybags and clips.</p><p>Consumer engagement plays a vital role. Initiatives such as the “Share Happiness Takeback Programme” and “Zero Waste to Landfill” are creating circular systems across retail operations. Even the small things matter—like the “One Product, One Hang Tag” initiative that cuts down on unnecessary plastic.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Biodegradable, traceable, recyclable: ABFRL’s packaging transformation is in full swing</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Birla Cellulose: Closing the Loop</strong></h3><p><a href="/businesses/companies/birla-cellulose/">Birla Cellulose</a> is flipping the script on the fashion industry’s waste problem with <a href="/businesses/brands/liva-reviva">Liva Reviva</a>. It is increasing production of Liva Reviva, a circular fibre made using recycled textile waste and FSC-certified wood.</p><p>Through R&amp;D and collaborations like its partnership with Circ, the company is advancing textile-to-textile recycling, and developing alternatives to plastic packaging such as aluminium-jute hybrid bags.</p><p>These innovations are designed not just to reduce waste, but to reshape the textile value chain for long-term sustainability.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Circular fibres like Liva Reviva are giving new life to textile waste.</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Aditya Birla Chemicals: Innovating at the Molecular Level</strong></h3><p><a href="/businesses/sectors/chemicals/">Aditya Birla Chemical’s</a> Recyclamine® technology enables the recovery of materials like carbon fibre and plastic from thermosets—an industry-first.</p><p>The company also operates Zero Liquid Discharge systems, notably at its <a href="/businesses/countries/thailand/">Thailand </a>plant, ensuring no liquid waste is released into the environment.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Recyclamine®: Aditya Birla Chemicals’ breakthrough in thermoset recycling</strong></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:35%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/conveyor_belt_with_garbage_transports_waste_inside_drum_filter_or_rotating_f2fdd3f95b.webp" alt="conveyor-belt-with-garbage-transports-waste-inside-drum-filter-or-rotating.webp"><strong>Waste as a Strategic Priority</strong></h3><p>Across <a href="/businesses/sectors/cement/">cement</a>, <a href="/businesses/sectors/metals/">metals</a>, <a href="/businesses/sectors/textiles/">textiles</a>, <a href="/businesses/sectors/fashion/">fashion</a>, and <a href="/businesses/sectors/chemicals/">chemicals</a>, Aditya Birla Group is making waste management a core part of business strategy.

Circular by Design: Aditya Birla Group’s push against plastic waste and more

Sustainability

<p>Inspirational stories of good act as force multipliers of positive change. Here is one such touching story of a former child labourer, Malleshwar, who went to bed hungry but now ensures that 2,000 to 3,000 people in Hyderabad don’t suffer the same fate each day.</p><p>“I used to struggle to get a single meal. But for the last 12 years, I’ve been feeding thousands,” says Malleshwar. Born to daily-wage workers, his childhood was marked by hardship and hunger. There were days when he had nothing to eat, surviving only on water. With support from an NGO, he managed to finish school. To pay for college, he worked as a waiter —juggling work, studies, and survival.</p><p>It was during one such event, catering to over 500 guests, that he had a life-changing realisation. Watching heaps of food go to waste, he called his friends and suggested they distribute the leftovers to those in need. They laughed at him. “First fill your own stomach, then think about others,” they told him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TzdpKNoP5Cg" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But Malleshwar knew the pain of sleeping hungry. He didn’t let the mockery stop him. That moment sparked the birth of his movement: Don’t Waste Food. Every day since, he and a small team of friends collect excess food from weddings, parties, hostels, and corporate events. With just a scooter, they now feed thousands daily. “If we had a four-wheeler, we could reach even more people,” he says.</p><p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, Malleshwar stepped up further—feeding stranded migrant workers, families of hospital patients, and children in slums. “Everyone can do something,” he insists. “If you have a few extra rotis, don’t throw them away—feed someone in need. If we all do our bit, no one in the world has to sleep hungry.”</p><p>Aditya Birla Group is happy to partner The Better India to give voice to inspiring stories of people acting as #<a href="/our-story/a-force-for-good/">AForceForGood</a>.</p>

From Hunger to Hope: How Malleshwar Now Feeds Thousands Daily

<p>One man’s waste is another man’s wealth. Meet Kolkata’s ‘Roll Kaku’ who distributes cancelled food orders to hungry children in order to encourage them to attend school.</p><p>Pathikrit Saha grew up in poverty, sometimes without two square meals a day. He vowed to himself that when he started earning money, no child would go to bed hungry. “One day I was walking on the railway platform when a child hugged my legs and started begging for money,” he recounts. “I tried to ignore him but he kept saying that his mother would throw him out if he did not bring back money.” That was the moment a shocked Pathikrit decided to start a makeshift school on the railway platform, offering tiffin to the kids so they would attend his classes. In the six years since, his classes have grown from 1 to over 400.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLtoUP8h5ww" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Pathikrit though. After the authorities demolished his paatshala on the platform, he resigned from his government job and became a food delivery agent in order to persevere with his mission – all, without his family’s support. In his new job, when he saw so much excess, undelivered food go to waste, &nbsp;he thought to put it into better use and started distributing it to children who do not even get one meal a day, hence earning the nickname ‘Roll Kaku’ for himself.</p><p>Today, his efforts have expanded his school into 10 units providing free education, supplies and clothes to 415 students, for whom he even organises outings and treats . Thanks to his initiative, 250 children returned to school post-lockdown instead of dropping out. “I want them to have all the privileges that any kid who goes to a private school has”, says the man whose life revolves around these children. In Pathikrit, they have found an unwavering support who believes in their talent and strives to give them an equal shot at life.</p><p>This story is part of a series by The Better India, in collaboration with Aditya Birla Group. The series aims to amplify positive examples of people acting as #<a href="/community/">AForceForGood</a>.&nbsp;</p>

Leadership

<p>From sacred chants to street performances to urban productions, theatre in India has moved with history while staying rooted in expression and community. Today, as audiences and platforms evolve, initiatives like Aditya Birla Group’s Aadyam Theatre are helping carry this tradition forward, supporting artists, improving production quality, and bringing theatre to new spaces and people.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Rasa and Rituals</strong></h3><p>Theatre in India didn’t begin in playhouses, it began in prayer. As early as the Rigveda, performances were used in religious ceremonies, laying the ground for a performative tradition that would eventually formalise in the Natyashastra. This ancient text, part manual and part philosophy, would go on to influence theatre, dance, music, and even cinema. Its core idea, that art should evoke ‘rasa’ or aesthetic experience, continues to shape how stories are told on Indian stages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>The Golden Script</strong></h3><p>From the 2nd century BCE to the 10th century CE, Sanskrit theatre flourished under royal patronage. Playwrights like Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti, and Shudraka created works that rivalled the Greek tragedies and Shakespearean dramas in scale and emotional depth. Performed in temple courtyards and royal courts, these plays were spectacles of poetry, philosophy, and performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>From Palace to Public</strong></h3><figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:40%;"><img class="image_resized" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/aadyam_2_f15f17858c.webp" alt="aadyam-2.webp"><figcaption><i>Image Credit: </i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://aadyam.co.in/"><i>Aadyam</i></a></figcaption></figure><p>As political landscapes shifted and patronage waned, theatre adapted by moving to the streets and villages. It became more accessible and more rooted in local languages and cultures. Folk forms like Jatra, Bhavai, Tamasha, and Yakshagana emerged, each with its own style, rhythm, and audience. This was Indian theatre in its most democratic form: open-air, interactive, and community-driven.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Curtains Rise Again</strong></h3><p>Colonial rule brought Western influences to Indian theatre. Proscenium stages, scripted dialogue, and modern stagecraft entered the scene. New formats emerged from different regions, like the Bengali Theatre and Parsi Theatre, blending Indian stories with European forms. Parsi troupes travelled across India, performing tales of kings, gods, and revolutionaries. It was this mix of art and mass appeal that would eventually inspire India’s film industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Voices of a New Nation</strong></h3><p>As India marched toward independence, the stage became a space for protest and progress. Playwrights used theatre to spotlight social injustices, most famously in Dinabandhu Mitra’s Nil Darpan, a searing play on the exploitation of indigo farmers. Post-1947, regional and experimental theatre movements gained momentum. Vijay Tendulkar explored the politics of power, Girish Karnad blended myth with modernity, and Utpal Dutt used theatre as a tool for public dialogue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Aadyam Enters the Spotlight</strong></h3><p>Launched in 2015, Aadyam Theatre is an initiative by Aditya Birla Group that builds on a long legacy of theatre, with a contemporary approach. From script to stage, Aadyam provides holistic support to theatre groups, allowing artists to focus on their craft while the initiative handles production logistics. The goal: to make high-quality theatre accessible to new audiences while supporting the community that creates it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>More Than a Patron</strong></h3><p>Unlike traditional sponsorships, Aadyam Theatre operates like a creative partner. Every play is curated, developed, and supported through a structured process, ensuring that artistic vision is preserved while execution is streamlined. This fusion of corporate discipline and creative freedom sets Aadyam apart. And it reflects a larger philosophy at the Group: business can and should support culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Seasons of Stories</strong></h3><p>Over the past nine years, Aadyam has produced more than 25 plays across genres and languages. Each season features a curated slate, ranging from original scripts to bold adaptations. Audiences have seen Dostoevsky’s White Nights reimagined as Chandni Raatein, and Anthony Shaffer’s Sleuth turned into Saanp Seedhi. These plays blend the local and the global, speaking to Indian realities while drawing from universal themes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Theatre, Reimagined</strong></h3><figure class="image image_resized image-style-side" style="width:40%;"><img src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/aadyam_117d60280c.webp" alt="aadyam.webp"><figcaption><i>Image Credit: </i><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://aadyam.co.in/"><i>Aadyam</i></a></figcaption></figure><p>Beyond the stage, Aadyam has helped transform how theatre is experienced. By investing in design, lighting, and sound, it has raised the bar for production quality. By choosing contemporary themes and immersive formats, it has drawn in younger, urban audiences. For many, Aadyam plays are not just performances—they’re events. And that’s by design.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Backstage, On Purpose</strong></h3><p>What makes Aadyam Theatre’s model unique is its quiet commitment. The spotlight stays on the artist. The initiative remains behind the scenes—facilitating, not directing. From casting support to marketing assistance, every step is collaborative. It’s an approach that mirrors how Indian theatre itself has survived through the centuries: through partnership, adaptability, and passion.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Tradition Meets Transition</strong></h3><p>In many ways, Aadyam Theatre is today’s answer to the old patronage systems—one that blends legacy with modern management. Like the royal courts that once supported Kalidasa or the communities that kept Bhavai alive, it offers a support structure that allows theatre to grow. But unlike its predecessors, it brings scale, professionalism, and a long-term vision.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>The Show Goes On</strong></h3><p>From Vedic hymns to spotlighted monologues, Indian theatre has never stopped evolving. And with initiatives like Aadyam, it continues to find new ways to stay relevant, radical, and rooted. The curtain may rise and fall, but the stage endures.</p>
