He said Odisha remains one of the topmost investment destinations in the country.
“Beyond business, we reach out to underprivileged people too. In Odisha, we reach out to over 500 thousand people,” he said.
Birla has talked about Odisha’s history, people, art and its industrial journey.
“I am here not just as an investor but also as an admirer. The long-standing relationship of the Aditya Birla Group with Odisha goes beyond the investments we have made here,” said the chairman of Aditya Birla Group.
“What Odisha has to offer is huge economic retention as well as resources, academic structure and skilled labour. It is the Chief Minister’s (Naveen Patnaik) leadership that has made the state a hub for investment.”
