ABFRL brings together the learnings and businesses of two renowned Indian fashion icons, Madura Fashion & Lifestyle and Pantaloons creating a synergistic core that will act as the nucleus of the future fashion businesses of the Aditya Birla Group. If we see in retail and fashion ABG has various brands like Pantaloons, Planet Fashions, Forever 21, Louis Philippe, Vanheusen, Peter England, Allen Solly Ralph Lauren etc. the quality of fabric that this brand contain is remarkable and the style’s that they held is very trendy. I like these brands as they give me comfort and confidence. It seems like when you look good your confidence boosts up. Not only the quality but the service also matters the quality of service these retail stores provide is pretty commendable. All the staff is fully educated and trained, they know exactly what the customer needs and what looks good on them. If an item is not available on particular shop they would directly recommend to look at the other retail outlet of the same brand and as well as they also confirm whether that particular item is present over there or not. Hence their service is good. Overall my experience with the Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail is overwhelming and I hope it will continue to do so.#IIMRaipur #ABGLPWooMe
How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
If I were to convey the challenge that I faced to achieve my ambition that one would be my decision whether to go for MBA after my graduation as an engineer and if I accept the challenge to do so that how I could do while in a tech firm. I was placed in a renowned Tech firm and as I had already made up my mind to go for MBA after my graduation but the difficult task was how will I extract the time for the studies while working 9 hours a day with 2 hours of exhausting travel for work. I knew that this will be a very difficult task to manage but I made a plan, since I cannot reduce the office timings and the travel time, I decided to take out some free time during my break to study and give online quizzes on phone itself. I planned to give daily test during my break and if I find some extra time I’ll brush up my concept online. And after I reach home I took my time to gym spend 45 minutes over there and I reach home rest for some time and then again I study for 4 hours in night. This was the schedule I followed till CAT was only 15 days ahead then I took work from home for 15 days and strictly studied and gave CAT confidently. At last the day arrived for the results and my hard work pay-off with a good percentile to get into IIMs. Hence the juggle between the work and the target I set to achieve with the proper execution, resulted in my favor with flying colors.#IIMRaipur #ABGLPWooMe
