I would like to start by citing the recent change Aditya Birla Group has impacted with me with. It's the #filterthefuture campaign. This World Environment Day, Aditya Birla Group took a step towards cementing its commitment to sustainability by initiating conversations around our biggest fears about the environment, the air pollution. Aditya Birla Group has pledged to create artwork out of toxic air and to support the cause they have also planted over 1 million saplings across the group. The products by the group is being used by people for generations in the field of cement, fertilisers, financial services. Anything the people have ever needed, Aditya Birla Group has made it happen, be it the use of roads, living in buildings made by the biggest cement company in India. We name it, they do it.
Diving deep into the group, around 50% of Group revenues flow from overseas operations that span 34 countries in North and South America, Africa and Asia. One of the subsidiaries of ABG is Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL) which is India’s No. 1 lifestyle entity.
Its brand, Forever 21, has greatly influenced my purchasing pattern. It offers apparels in all sizes and designs keeping in mind the latest trends, which is affordable and within the budget of the middle-income group with accessories such as bags, shoes. In addition to Forever 21, ABG continues to have a growing performance in the formals segment. Van Heusen and Louis Philippe are trusted brands which offer a superior quality product.
ABG has also partnered with the Vodafone Group to provide telecommunication services in India and around the world. Since it has a vast area of connectivity, it has helped to connect everywhere in India. Aditya Birla Group has impacted and touched each aspect of my life with it's products, it's services. I thank Aditya Birla Group for being what it is to me, as well as the nation.
Iwould like to talk about a challenge that I have recently overcomed in my life which impacted my last 1.5 years.
This incident happened with me when I was at Wipro Technologies. Just after completing my training in Bhubaneswar I was transferred to Greater Noida center. And I was given a project which used different technology in which I was trained in and I had no idea about this technology. Moreover, there was no autonomy in that project. It was very frustrating for me to work in that project. But I kept calm and tried to learn the new technology.
After a month when I was a bit comfortable working in the project and was confident working on that technology it was ramped down and I was tagged into a new project which used some other technology. I had to start learning from the scratch again. It was very frustrating. And I was very annoyed with my manager.
I felt like leaving the company. But my manager told me to give this project a try and then decide.
I made my ambition to prove my worth and give my best in this project. I gave 18 months to this project and worked really hard. My manager started appreciating my work.
After putting 18 month of hardwork and efforts. My client also appreciated my efforts and I was awarded the 'DREAM TEAM' award at Wipro.
This is how I achieved my ambition and my efforts were awarded and appreciated. It made me more confident about myself and also gave me a learning that never quit before trying.
