IN HONOUR OF ALUMINIUM
There is some swear by titanium,
and some by manganese.
There’s virtue in a lump of tin

andiron is hard to please,
Of course the steel doesn’t give appealing feel.
By choice the dead are lined with hard
The living hired with gold.
There’s some that think the best is zinc,
And some on silver, gold
Magnesium&cadmium,
And copper are fine.
But this is the wise who truly unrivalled the alumina,
So raise a flag & beat the drum.

of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the country's human
development index.".
— Mrs.RajashreeBirla, Chairperson,
TheAditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development
Before Corporate Social Responsibility found a place in corporate lexion, it was
already textured into our Group's value systems. As early as the 1940s, our founding
father Shri G.D Birla espoused the trusteeship concept of
management. Simply stated, this entails that the wealth
that one generates and holds is to be held as in a trust for
our multiple stakeholders. With regard to CSR, this means
investing part of our profits beyond business, for the larger
good of society.
While carrying forward this philosophy, his grandson, Aditya
Birla weaved in the concept of 'sustainable livelihood', which transcended cheque book
philanthropy. In his view, it was unwise to keep on giving endlessly. Instead, he felt that
channelising resources to ensure that people have the wherewithal to make both ends
meet would be more productive. He would say, "Give a hungry man fish for a day, he will
eat it and the next day, he would be hungry again. Instead if you taught him how to fish,
he would be able to feed himself and his family for a lifetime."
Taking these practices forward, our chairman
Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla institutionalised the concept of triple bottom
line accountability represented by economic success, environmental
responsibility and social commitment. In a holistic way thus, the interests
of all the stakeholders have been textured into our Group's fabric.
The footprint of our social work today straddles over 3,700 villages,
reaching out to more than 7 million people annually. Our community work
is a way of telling the people among whom we operate that We Care.
Our strategy
“Our projects are carried out under the aegis of the "Aditya Birla Centre for
Community Initiatives and Rural Development", led by Mrs.Rajashree Birla. The
Centre provides the strategic direction, and the thrust areas for our work ensuring
performance management as well
Our focus is on the all-round development of the communities around our plants
located mostly in distant rural areas and tribal belts. All our Group companies —-
Grasim, Hindalco, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Indo Gulf and UltraTech have Rural
Development Cells which are the implementation bodies.

8/19/2019 $@UR@BH PROJECT.docx
31/125
Projects are planned after a participatory need assessment of
the communities around the plants. Each project has a one-
year and a three-year rolling plan, with milestones and
measurable targets. The objective is to phase out our
presence over a period of time and hand over the reins of further development to the
people. This also enables us to widen our reach. Along with internal performance
assessment mechanisms, our projects are audited by reputed external agencies, who
measure it on qualitative and quantitative parameters, helping us gauge the
effectiveness and providing excellent inputs.
Our partners in development are government bodies, district authorities, village
panchayats and the end beneficiaries -- the villagers. The Government has, in their
5-year plans, special funds earmarked for human development and we recourse to
many of these. At the same time, we network and collaborate with like-minded
bilateral and unilateral agencies to share ideas, draw from each other's experiences,and ensure that efforts are not duplicated. At another level, this provides a platform
for advocacy. Some of the agencies we have collaborated with are UNFPA, SIFSA,
CARE India, Habitat for Humanity International, Unicef and the World Bank.
Our focus areas
Our rural development activities span five key areas and our single-minded goal here
is to help build model villages that can stand on their own feet. Our focus areas are
healthcare, education, sustainable livelihood, infrastructure and espousing social
causes.

Emergence of a metal major: The beginning of a chronicle
The Hindalco story dates back to the young Indian democracy of the 1950s. Ready to
take a giant leap, India was geared to make it big, especially in terms of innovation
and industrialisation.
Hindalco embarked on its journey in 1958. Its first real contribution to the vision of
an industrial India occurred four years later, when the visionary — late Mr. G.D.
Birla set up India's first integrated aluminium facility atRenukoot, in the eastern
fringe of Uttar Pradesh, India. It was backed by a captive thermal power plant at
Renusagar in 1967. Hindalco attained its leadership position in the aluminium
industry under the dynamic leadership of the late Mr.AdityaVikram Birla — a
formidable force in the Indian industry.
And it was through the vision and guidance of Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, the
Group Chairman that the business segments of aluminium and copper are
consolidated to make Hindalco the non-ferrous metals powerhouse it is today. This
was achieved in part by expansion through mergers and acquisitions with
companies such as Indal and Birla Copper. Hindalco also secured copper reserves
and amplified its operating base by acquiring the Australian Nifty and Mt. Gordon
copper mines.

8/19/2019 $@UR@BH PROJECT.docx
34/125
Over the years, Hindalco has grown into the largest vertically integrated aluminium
company in the country and among the largest primary producers of aluminium in
Asia. Its copper smelter is today the world's largest custom smelter at a single
location.
In 2007, the landmark acquisition ofNovelis Inc., the world's largest aluminium
rolling company, placed Hindalco's footprint across the globe, securing it a rankamongst the top five global aluminium majors and also placing it in the Fortune 500
league.
At the heart of Hindalco's process and product, behind its growth and success, lies the
story of the Hindalco team. A multi-lingual, multi-cultural cross section of people bound
by the same values and pursuing a common mission — to create superior value, realise
their full potential and steer the company towards a preeminent position amongst global
metals major .
An achievement-focused and development-oriented ethos embedded in high standards of
business ethics and supported by sound management practices is the defining
characteristic of the Hindalco work culture.
We are a learning organisation where motivation runs through the talent pool and
skillsset from the shop floor to the office desk..
Powered by people
It’s our people who make the difference in Hindalco. These men of mettle make the
maximum use of resources, dextrously handle crisis situations, scrutinise every single
process parameter, mull over every variation to ensure quality and efficiency in products
and processes. Needless to say, the Hindalco shop floor is where all the action happens.

Furniture (probably from the French 'fournir' — to provide)
is themass noun for the movable objects ('mobile' in Latin
languages) intended to support various human activities
such asseating and sleeping in beds, to hold objects at a
convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces
above the ground, or to store things. Storage furniture
such as anightstand often makes use of doors, drawers,
shelves and locks to contain organize or secure smaller
objects such as clothes, tools, books, and household goods.
Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form ofdecorative art. In
addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose.
Domestic furniture works to create, in conjunction withfurnishings such asclocks
andlighting, comfortable and convenient interior spaces. Furniture can be made
from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be made
using a variety of woodworking joints which often reflect the local culture.
History
Furniture in fashion has been a part of the human experience since the developmentof non-nomadic cultures. Evidence of furniture survives from theNeolithic Period

19th Century
The nineteenth century is usually defined by concurrentrevival styles, including
Gothic, Neoclassicism, Rococo, and theEast Haven Movement. The designreforms of
the late century introduced the Aesthetic movement and the Arts and Crafts
movement. Art Nouveau was influenced by both of these movements.
Modernism
Red and Blue Chair (1917), designed byGerritRietveld
The first three-quarters of the twentieth century are often seen as the march towards
Modernism. Art Deco,De Stijl,Bauhaus, Wiener Werkstätte, and Vienna Secessiondesigners all worked to some degree within the Modernist idiom. Born from the
Bauhaus and Art Deco/Streamline styles came the post WWII "Mid-Century Modern"
style using materials developed during the war including lamenated plywood,
plastics and fibreglass

Key driving forces in the demand for furniture:
The following factors guide the demand for furniture:-
• Elasticity in terms of the disposable income of the householdGenerally theestimated elasticity changes from country to country. But the average elasticity
has been found to be 1.5 that effectively means, if the income increases by 1, the
demand for furniture is going to rise by 1.5 and vice versa.
• Economic scenario - This translates into consumers' confidence in the economy
of the nation, growth of the Gross National product, the purchasing power and
also factors like level of unemployment.
• Infrastructural considerations - Like level of investments in housing etc.
• The evolution of the borrowing terms - If the interest rate is hiked the
consequences are higher costs for borrowing for purchasing furniture and
housing, and vice versa if the interest rate falls
• Demographic variables - Such as the evolution of marriages, household
formations, births taking place and the composition of age class.
Distribution of wealth - It is quite evident that demand for furniture would be s
higher in countries where wealth is more evenly distributed than in countries where
wealth has a tendency to be concentrated.

Why aluminium?????
Properties of aluminium
After iron, aluminium is now the second most widely used metal in the world. This is
because aluminium has a unique combination of attractive properties.Low weight,
high strength, superior malleability, easy machining, excellent corrosion
resistance and good thermal and electrical conductivity are amongst
aluminium’s most important properties. Aluminium is also very easy to recycle.
Weight
Aluminium is light with a density one third that of steel, 2.700 kg/m3.
Strength
Aluminium alloys commonly has tensile strengths of between 70 and 700 mpa. The
range for alloys used in extrusion is 150 – 300 mpa. Unlike most steel grades,
aluminium does not become brittle at low temperatures. Instead, its strength
increases. At high temperatures, aluminium’s strength decreases. At temperatures
continuously above 100°C, strength is affected to the extent that the weakeningmust be taken into account. .
Linear expansion
Compared with other metals, aluminium has a relatively large coefficient of linear
expansion. This has to be taken into account in some designs.
Machining
Aluminium is easily worked using most machining methods – milling, drilling,
cutting, punching, bending, etc. Furthermore, the energy input during machining is
low.
Formability
Aluminium’s superior malleability is essential for extrusion. With the metal either
hot or cold, this property is also exploited in the rolling of strips and foils, as well as
in bending and other forming operations. .
5
8/19/2019 $@UR@BH PROJECT.docx
60/125
Conductivity
Aluminium is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. An aluminium
conductor weighs approximately half as much as a copper conductor having the
same conductivity. .
Joining
Features facilitating easy jointing are often incorporated into profile design. Fusion
welding, Friction Stir Welding, bonding and taping are also used for joining.
Reflectivity
Aluminium is a good reflector of both visible light and radiated heat.
Screening
EMC
Tight aluminium boxes can effectively exclude or screen off electromagnetic
radiation. The better the conductivity of a material, the better the shielding qualities.
Corrosion resistance
Aluminium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an extremely thin layer of oxide.
Though it is only some hundredths of a (my) m thick (1 (my) m is one thousandth of
a millimetre), this layer is dense and provides excellent corrosion protection. The
layer is self-repairing if damaged. .
Anodizing increases the thickness of the oxide layer and thus improves the strength
of the natural corrosion protection. Where aluminium is used outdoors, thicknesses
of between 15 and 25 ¥ìm (depending on wear and risk of corrosion) are common.
Aluminium is extremely durable in neutral and slightly acid environments.
In environments characterized by high acidity or high basicity, corrosion is rapid.
.
Non-magnetic material
Aluminium is a non-magnetic (actually paramagnetic) material. To avoid interference
of magnetic fields aluminium is often used in magnet X-ray devices.
Zero toxicity

after oxygen and silicon, aluminium is the most common element in the Earth's
crust. Aluminium compounds also occur naturally in our food.
Weight and strength - aluminium is approximately one third as dense as steel.
Aluminium alloys have tensile strengths of between 70 and 700MPa.
Aluminium is easy to work using most machining methods.
These heat sinks exploit aluminium’s high thermal conductivity.

2. SERVICE MIX: -It includes
a)PRODUCT: - CORE LEVEL Product basically is the final product which is in need.
TANGIBLE LEVELis one in which final appearance of the product is given.
AUGMENTED where is the main service which is very important to give in
aluminium furniture’s to make its market same strategy is followed by the
Europeans to promote the use of aluminium in Europe where aluminium
consumption is one of the highest in top 10 consumer now a days.
b) SERVICE LIFE CYCLE: -This includes in understanding & developing appropriatemarket based strategy.
Service can quickly be created when compared to the physical product. This
is due to the fact that industrial buyers prefer running their businesses with the
existing services mix rather than shift.
c) PRICING: - Different price are charged for different services in accordance to the
product. If service is of good quality then the service is charged as the high price.
Service also today makes an important part for the new shift to give rise to
industries to promote their product with the help of services.
63
8/19/2019 $@UR@BH PROJECT.docx
65/125
d)PROMOTION: - This is very important part for the Aluminium furniture’s
especially in the India where the population size is mainly in the middle class which
is in the ignorance about new product due to their strong affection toward their work
and busy in their schedule work. So to target them as customers in large amount
they have to fully about the new product through media.
e)PLACE: - In service place relates to the ease with which the service is accessed.
Due to the inseparability of services, they are produced and consumed at the
same place. In banking with the development of transactions via the internet, place
has lost value with respect to delivery of transactions.
Place as a contemporary aspect of the MARKETING MIX has cost relevance in
these kinds of services.
f)PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: -Service customers a greater perceived risk as they cannot
rate a particular service until it is consumed. Therefore service provider should tryto attach an element of tangibility to their service offerings. Brochures, reports,
certificate, etc.
