ABG's Big Role in My Life!

It’s believed that clarity in thoughts gives direction to actions. This might sound like a known territory to you all as we all have been through moments of self doubt and then reassurances. One fine Sunday morning, I sat disturbed with lack of confidence in beautifully meticulously constructed temple with white marble stone. Yes, I was at Birla Mandir in Hyderabad. But the chaos within me wouldn’t let me embrace the beauty of outside world. Coming from an academically inclined family, I wanted to make my mark. My eyes then fell on sculpted portrayal of Arjuna bowing down to Lord Krishna with the latter standing tall and sharing his wisdom of Dharma and Karma. I kept gazing at it for a very long time. I felt a sense of calmness while pondering over what the sculpture stood for. That was a lesson for me to give my best at everything without being too keen on the results. That’s the way to enjoy the process. That’s the value of the Aditya Birla Group. They started small and humble. Shiv Narayan Birla started as a small cotton trader and expanded his business, updated his knowledge, sought opportunities and kept giving his best to become one of Asia’s largest business groups.  Right from fashion to electrical appliances to Railways and Roads, ABG has made it bigger and better for us. The many hospitals, schools, research institutes they run continue to serve people all over the world. They have been inspiring people by their actions and I am more than happy to be influenced by them.
