Once a young IPL hopeful in the RR camp, Aryaman Birla is now the new chairman of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
RCB was sold for over ₹16,706 crore, making it one of the largest franchise sales in IPL history. This record-breaking deal has set a new benchmark for the league.
Aryaman, son of industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla, initially chose cricket over the family business to pursue his own passion. Now, he’s made a name for himself both on and off the field.
Aryaman was signed by the Rajasthan Royals in 2018 and trained with top players, but never played an IPL match. Despite this setback, he kept working hard and stayed focused on his goals.
Years later, he’s back in the IPL, not as a player, but as the head of one of its biggest teams. Aryaman Birla’s journey has come full circle, now shaping the league from the top.
With fresh leadership and major financial backing, RCB is poised for bold decisions and new strategies as they build on their recent trophy success.
