Ananya Birla recently made headlines for her extravagant gift to actress Janhvi Kapoor, which has become a hot topic across social media platforms. The centerpiece of this buzz is the opulent Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder that Birla presented, a vehicle that has left many in awe due to its staggering price tag of Rs 4 crore. This lavish gesture has sparked curiosity about Ananya Birla herself. As the daughter of Kumar Mangalam Birla, the Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, she stands as the eldest child and sixth-generation heir of the prominent Birla family. Beyond her familial ties, Ananya is a successful entrepreneur and a talented musician.
At just 17, she founded Svatantra Microfin Private Limited, a company dedicated to providing loans to women in rural areas who aspire to launch their own small businesses. Her entrepreneurial efforts were recognized in 2014 when her company received a Gold Award at the Skoch Financial Inclusion Awards. In addition to her business acumen, Ananya has pursued a career in music, having begun her musical education at a young age. While studying at the University of Oxford, she embraced her passion for music, leading to the release of her debut English song, “Livin’ the Life,” recorded in Philadelphia. Ananya has since released several other tracks, including “Hold On,” “Meant To Be,” and “Blackout.” Notably, in 2017, she became the first Indian artist to achieve platinum status in the English music scene, a remarkable feat within the Indian music industry. With a net worth of Rs 177 crore, Ananya Birla was also recognized in 2024 on Fortune India’s prestigious 40 Under 40 list, further solidifying her status as a multifaceted and influential figure.
