What IB Group does

IB Group is a privately held, family-owned multi-diversified agri-biz conglomerate headquartered in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, founded in 1985 by Bahadur Ali (known as the 'Father of Modern Poultry in India'). The company self-positions as India's Integrated Protein Leader with INR 16,000 crore turnover, operating across five interconnected segments: poultry genetics and breeding (ROSS 308 AP grandparent stock via a 2014 Aviagen partnership), broiler integration and contract farming (serving 50,000+ farmers through the Parivartan and Parivartan GenNxt schemes), livestock feed manufacturing (fish feed as No. 1 in India with 20% national market share, plus poultry and shrimp feed), retail protein under the ABIS Chicken brand (60+ exclusive shops, doorstep delivery to 2,000+ retailers, HORECA channel), and edible oil. Technology infrastructure includes environment-controlled (EC) poultry houses with sensor-based automation, India's first fully automated floating fish feed plant at Sukhri, 27 hatcheries with pioneering in-ovo vaccination (Innovo technology), and a SAP-based Broiler Technology Platform (BTP) mobile app serving 23,000+ farmers for digital flock management and onboarding.

The company monetizes primarily through transaction-based feed sales across 28 states, outcome-based growing charges (INR 8-13/kg per batch) for contract broiler farmers, unit-pricing retail chicken, and managed-services integration fees. Its 15,000+ direct employees support an integrated supply chain spanning grandparent stock acquisition to branded retail, with a capital base that has enabled Rs 160 crore Amethi poultry feed plant (Aug 2023), INR 350+ crore Badda soybean processing complex (2024), and ongoing digital expansion. IB Group holds board oversight from former MDs of Indian Bank, IDBI Bank, and AMUL, and is the first Indian poultry company to receive Great Place to Work certification (FY 23-24). Strategic government partnerships include a UNICEF-aligned CSR initiative for malnutrition-free Chhattisgarh blocks.
