The company is part of the B.K Birla Group, a diversified Indian industrial conglomerate. The Mangalam Tea Estate is part of the Towkok Group of Tea Estates, which also includes the Towkok estate and the Manjushree tea estates. In 1973, encouraged by extraordinarily good production results from the tea plantation "Manjushree", the owners founded another tea garden, the Mangalam Tea Estate. The Mangalam Tea Estate is named after Kumar Mangalam Birla, the son of the estate owner, and now one of the managers.
