central to Aditya Birla Capital’s transformative journey, driving accelerated growth and
improved profitability across businesses. By leveraging data, digital and technology,

divestment of stakes in select businesses. She was also instrumental in seamlessly executing the amalgamation of Aditya Birla Finance Ltd., with Aditya Birla Capital Limited, enabling better access to capital, driving operational synergies and enhanced value creation for all stakeholders.
