WHY ADITYA BIRLA GROUP IS BIG IN YOUR LIFE?

What is big? Big is not restricted to be just gigantic. A school going boy when gifted with a new bag, it is BIG. A sand art by a 3 year old kid is BIG. When a baby takes his first step, it is big. “Big” is an emotion which has its own values, perception and aura and vary from each and every individual.

As I take a walk down the memory lane I still reminisce the memory of the Pantaloons stores. It was the first store that had opened in Bhubaneswar and I was so excited to hop inside this huge store and find the perfect dress for me. Aditya Birla had come up with their fashion outlet with a huge variety of brands and diverse fashion styles. It not only had mishmash of designs and colours but also had them in illimitable sizes, making it inclusive for each and every kind and type of individual. Being a chubby girl and finding just the right fit is BIG.

Aditya Birla is not just a business house that’s been in market and is surviving. It’s now an ecstasy that is a part of this country with a population of 133 crores. Each one of us is siphoning the innovations and creations made by Aditya Birla. It is a huge part of my life as well. The mobile network, Vodafone-idea, I use, the brands I swear by, the cover glass of the smartphone I use, the kind of mutual funds my family invests in, the aluminium foil that has kept my food hot and soft and the tyres of the bike my dad owns, all of these hold a soft corner in my life. There are various construction done where Aditya Birla’s brand, Ultra tech cements hold a huge part.

Aditya Birla has made its presence conspicuous through modernization, formulation and various Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) activities. There are many families from the weaker sections of the society who actually depend on these CSR activities. This has helped Aditya Birla gain humongous blessings from the majority and it has always been on the path of success.

HOW YOU OVERCAME CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE YOUR AMBITION SO FAR?

The only thing that makes life unfair is the delusion that it should be fair. One cannot just sit and expect life to be on track. Few years back I belonged to such a category. I was amongst those who would sit and complain about everything.

I remember in 2012 I suddenly started gaining weight and which attracted a lot of negative comments. Probably doctors expected that am suffering from hyperthyroidism and to match there prediction the reports depicted the same. Being satisfied with just one report I was put under medication and strict diet, which had zero effect on my weight. After a continuous medication for 6 months of Thyroxin, I did another thyroid test which depicted that my TSH, T3 and T4 level were normal but still did not show any result in my weight. It continued for next 3 years with a marginal increase in my weight till I shifted to Kolkata.  After shifting to Kolkata I suddenly stopped having my thyroids medicines. My physical activities increased (diet being same) and suddenly I started losing weight. My initial weight stated 92 kgs and after 5 months I was measured at 84 kgs. This was a shock. I again did a thyroid test which again resulted as normal. After which I took a proper doctor’s appointment to understand what the real issue was. After having a frequent thyroid test once in every 6 months my doctor concluded that I never had a thyroid at the first place and the medicines acted adversely in my body and which resulted in fat retention.

Till date I have my thyroid levels in control. The hardest part during this time was I had to undergo many judgments, criticism and negativity which hampered my mental health a lot. I could not concentrate in my studies and performed really bad. I made myself go through unnecessary pain like hunger control, starving, and avoiding social interaction. What I could have done is work out for the same, should have gotten my thyroid checked from at least 2-3 different patho labs and should have least cared about the negative comments.

I know in today’s date am not at my best but it’s not because am undergoing some medical problems like thyroid, or I eat a lot, or I am way too lethargic. There are people who are chubby because of family history and are still healthy, flexible, strong, and are medically fit. Being healthy should be the goal.
