Yash Birla

Yash Birla is a businessman, and chairman of the Yash Birla Group.

With his unique sense of style, Yash is the last word in Mumbai fitness and fashion, and enjoys a huge following on social media.

But he hails from an older India. The Birlas were one of the few manufacturing families who grew rich under British rule, and they provided crucial funds for the independence movement. Gandhi was a frequent visitor to his family home.

These days the Birlas are collectively worth billions, and Yash is in charge of one branch of the dynasty that has interests in everything from heavy industry to hospitality.

Tragically, at the age of 22, Yash lost his parents and sister in a plane crash. He is married to Avanti Birla, and they have three children.
