Strolling down the various malls like Ambience, Gurgaon and DLF Mall of India, Noida. I can’t help but be grateful for being born in a country like India. A country still young compared to its peers and made possible due to the sacrifices made by our forefathers. Looking across the allay I see an outlet of Pantaloons, which makes me realise that the sacrifices where made by people across the economic spectrum. Traditional business houses did play a vital part in the movement and have also taken an active part in nation building.
One such business house is the “Aditya Birla group”; Their presence is evident in the daily life of a large segment of the Indian populace. The big malls that we go to today, their role in the ever-changing scenery of Indian cities is not prominent but ever-present through Ultratech cement. As the populace become more connected the role of mobile phones take centre stage but in the absence of telecom connectivity provided by players like Vodafone-Idea are only dead weights towards economic progress. They have played a key role in expanding consumer choice by bringing foreign brands like Allen Solly and Peter England to the masses. Clothing brands I rely on for my daily wear. There is a huge chance that the Pepsi Can I buy from the college canteen was processed by Hindalco plant or would soon be recycled by them. My current MBA journey has been made possible through financial support provided by their finance arm.
Aditya Birla group through its various initiatives has given India a new thrust. Its success in the black carbon is not only a positive for the firm but the Indian masses. They represent the drive of the masses and showcase how an MBA candidate like me can make a mark in any field they take on.
