When we take birth we start a new journey of life where we meet people we trust and with whom we grow along for the rest of our lives

Aditya Birla Group is one among those entities that became part of our life without even letting us know . It provides the trust that only a child and mother can experience . A home is the basic necessity of any human being and a person builds it with huge passion and commitment . When My father decided to build our house , he needed a brand that he can trust upon and which can provide strength to the base of the house – UltraTech Cement was his one and only choice as he was an engineer .

When I hit my adolescence years, I got introduced to the exciting world of mobile phones. I bought a new phone, but then I needed a reliable telecom service which would provide speed in the fast moving digital era. Vodafone gave me the commitment and a seamless connection which helped me in connecting to my near and dear ones no matter how bad the circumstances are.

After I entered into my graduation life , I needed a brand which can provide quality and changing styles according to latest trend . Pantaloons fashion retail store gave a place where I can find the holistic view of latest fashion trends all over the world . After trying various brands , Van Heusen gave me the way forward to evolve every day and  try new things .

After facing new challenges and opportunities while entering into the cooperate world and in an MBA life , Allen Solly taught me not to be so serious in life and on Fridays and enjoy life and keep my dreams alive no matter how small or big they are because big can be massive , big can be microscopic but mostly it is indispensable .

It is said “Life will throw challenges on you , it’s up to you how you accept them and learn from them”

When you are among the top 10 students in your department in the top engineering college , you and everyone around you have huge expectations . But nobody said that life is going to be easy . It was the placement season of my undergrad and like every top student in my batch I expected or assumed that I will get placed in the starting of the placement season . But sometimes what you plan and what happens does not go hand in hand . In the starting of placement season I was rejected in the initial rounds of the companies . I realized I was not competent enough so I enrolled in some online coding courses and did new projects . After this I started to qualify for further rounds but somewhere something was lacking . I realized I need to work on my interviews so I did some mock interviews online . Somehow even after so much effort I used to get rejected in the last round of the company interviews and I could not  see any other shortcoming . It takes a huge effort to smile in front of your friends and family after facing rejection, having self-doubt and simultaneously seeing your friends getting placed .The only thing I knew was that giving up was not an option . So I pushed myself and worked even harder . After 6 months of constant disappointments , I finally got placed in Infosys and that was the starting point of my journey to success. After that I got placed in 3 other companies - Team computers , Shopclues and finally ending up at Samsung Electronics . At Samsung I was awarded with quarterly award for outstanding performance and was highly appreciated for my work .

A person faces many challenges in life which may break him/her at one point of time but constant hard work and determination can make you even more stronger. A person should stick to the dream he/she firmly believes in and it will happen at one point of time or the other.
