It is oft repeated, yet a charming and powerful imagery: the morphing of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly that can fly unrestrained over flowery meadows. At Aditya Birla Nuvo, young, nascent businesses are acquired, nurtured, made strong and then given wings to fly on their own.

As Dr. Bharat Singh, Managing Director, says, "Aditya Birla Nuvo is a business builder. We nurture promising businesses, putting a hand on their shoulders, giving them finances, manpower and all other support to help them grow, flower, bloom and then stand on their own feet."
