On February 2019, I had to travel to Mumbai to NMIMS for my MBA interview. I asked around and found out that wearing a suit is absolutely necessary to create a good first impression. Adding to that my perspiration problem, a suit can hide the dampness in my body. I decided to go on the 100 Feet stretch in Indiranagar, Bengaluru to buy a suit and went to every brand specialized in suit making but found no readymade suit which can fit me. I love wearing business casuals especially from Van Huesen and Allen Solly but it was to my understanding that LP is a costly brand so I always steered away from it. Cautiously walked inside Louis Philippe store with a friend of mine and started to check my options. I came out 2 hours later with the best fitting readymade suit, and mind you my body is a mess when it comes to shape. The salesperson was a delight and he let me try on numerous suits with a smile on his face. The fabric was superb and the design was a masterstroke. Never felt so happy after looking at myself in the mirror. Went to the interview with a next level confidence and killed it. A month later I added 6 LP sports shirts to my wardrobe and mind you I am a kind of person who never shops let alone derive pleasure from shopping but the shirts were just too amazing and irresistible. In short, I’m grateful for ABG to create such reliable brands, brands I can blindly trust to be long lasting which is a very important thing for guys.
Aditya Birla Group Leadership Programs are some of the finest designed program which caters to every need of a student and create full-fledged professional with vision and leadership qualities. At the core of the ABGLP programme are people who drive to make an impact, irrespective of what challenges they face. I can recount when I was working at a bike rental startup couple of years back we started a new vertical where it was a pick the bike anywhere and drop anywhere model. I was tasked to scatter 200 bike at 200 different locations inside Bengaluru within 2 days. I just had 12 field executives under me so it was impossible to finish the task at the designated time. I sent out all the 12 FOS at 12 different locations in Bengaluru at the dead of the night in the first day and even that took then 3 hours because they had to return by auto which also burned my operating cost. I dropped the experiment and spend the whole night devising a plan to finish the work in the next day. Next morning I went to a very famous college near my office and spread the word that students can use our company’s bikes today to return to their homes at a free cost. The news spread rapidly and people started flocking at our stations. That evening my GPS tracker showed the bikes at every nook and corner of bangalore barring a few areas which my Operations team handled comfortably that night. As they say, solving a problem requires more planning than anything else.
