About

Ananya Birla is an Indian singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. Born into the prominent Birla family, she is the eldest daughter of billionaire industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla.

She founded Svatantra Microfin at the age of 17, an organization that provides microfinance to women entrepreneurs in rural India. Svatantra has grown significantly, becoming one of the leading microfinance institutions in the country. In addition to her entrepreneurial ventures, Ananya is a prominent figure in the global music industry. She signed with Universal Music India in 2016 and released her debut single, Livin' the Life, which made her the first Indian artist to have an English single go platinum in India. She has since released multiple hit singles, collaborated with international artists, and performed at major music festivals. Ananya is also deeply committed to mental health advocacy. She co-founded Mpower, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about mental health and providing support services across India, working to dismantle the stigma associated with mental illness. Through her diverse achievements in business, music, and philanthropy, Ananya Birla represents a modern generation of multi-hyphenate leaders making a global impact.
