So, it is easy to conclude that ABG touches millions of lives. It is next to impossible to imagine that a person hasn’t used ABG products and services directly or indirectly. ABG has contributed to our life in some or the other way and its impacts are huge. It is spread across various domains and has made our life much simpler.
Part B
A seventeen-year-old naive and innocent girl stepped out of her city for the first time to go to the city of dreams, “Mumbai” for her graduation. Moving to a metropolitan city came with its own challenges. Today when I look back Mumbai feels like home, local trains sleeping sessions seem amazing and the rains are missed. But the journey till here wasn’t easy. Right from searching for flats in the rainy season, to traveling by train for an hour daily to reach college, to living on a budget in such a big city all were difficult experiences. I was also doing CA along with my graduation so juggling the two was a task. Attending 10-hour lectures after college and then going home at night to find out that there is no food was such a disappointment. But after some time all this seemed normal and life back at home felt really slow.
All the working members of my family are CA’s. Somehow, I felt that doing CA wasn’t working for me. Since childhood, we were told we shouldn’t quit and we should try till we succeed, and so opting out wasn’t easy. Also, there was a certain level of pressure and expectations from my family which had to be taken care of. But before finally leaving the field I decided to clear IPCC (second level) and then I worked under all the sectors like Income Tax, Audit and GST. After I became absolutely sure I had “the talk” with my family. They understood how I wanted to change gears but still remain in the same domain. I finally decided to give CAT for which I was scared because I had 3 months to prepare for it. The rest is in the past because here I am in IIM Raipur one of the best colleges in the country, writing this amazing article for ABG.
