Aditya Vikram Birla
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 14 January 2013 for the industrialist Aditya Vikram Birla (1943–1995). Born in Calcutta on 14 November 1943, the son of Basant Kumar and Sarala Birla and grandson of Ghanshyam Das Birla, he studied at St Xavier’s College, Calcutta and took a degree in chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He led his group into textiles, petrochemicals and telecommunications and was one of the first Indian industrialists to build plants abroad, in South-East Asia, the Philippines and Egypt. He died in 1995 at fifty-one, and his son Kumar Mangalam Birla took charge of the Aditya Birla Group.
