Part A
ABG’s radical shift from being architects of a global India to a powerhouse across the globe & various sectors has now led to the understanding of how ABG is a big part of peoples’ lives at every step.
What is Big?
- Big is MASSIVE - 0.1 million mt of UltraTech Cement went into the construction of Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sealink
- Big is also microscopic - Birla Carbon nanoparticles make your tyres safer
- Big is the lifeline - A large share of the copper requirement of Indian Railways is fulfilled by Birla Copper
- Big is all about great style - ABFRL emerged after the consolidation of the branded apparel businesses of Aditya Birla Group comprising ABNL's Madura Fashion division and ABNL's subsidiaries — Pantaloons Fashion and Retail (PFRL) and Madura Fashion & Lifestyle (MFL) in May 2015. Post the consolidation, PFRL was renamed Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd.
- Big is in your palm - Hindalco aluminium is used to make cover glass for smartphones. Hindalco Industries Limited is the metals flagship company of Aditya Birla Group.
- Big makes distances disappear - Vodafone Idea Limited is an Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Group partnership. It is the leading telecom service provider in India and second largest globally.
The explanation of ABG’s “Big” has made me to admit that ABG is an indispensable part of my life. Right from my smartphone to my car’s tyre, ABG plays a major role in my day to day life.
Part B
"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory."
If there were no challenges in life, we would not be driven to achieve great heights. As they say, the steeper the slope, greater is the satisfaction on reaching the peak.
During my school years of 11th and 12th, I was much touted as the only student who could become the school head girl. Yes, I deserved every bit of that expectation because of my excellent academic & extracurricular record and popularity among students. However, complacency took the better of me. I stopped campaigning for around 15 days before the voting in lieu of being overconfident. It turned to be my biggest undoing and I fell short of a few votes. This realization shook me to the core. I had a tough time backing myself again for house elections. It was gratifying to see that my friends were by my side in this situation, they boosted me to start again, helped me in campaigning and after all that struggle, I became a house prefect.
From this incidence, I learnt that life might not give you second chances so there is no turning back in life. From that day till today this is what I follow, never be over-confident and in whichever situation you are, you have to come up and face it upfront. This is the key to achieve success.
