Impact of Aditya Birla in my life
Aditya Birla Group is one of the most coveted brands in India which needs no introduction at all. Right from the moment we open our eyes to the moment when we close it, ABG and its products touch us in one form or another. ABG is active in 14 industry sectors, with AUM worth more than Rs. 3000 billion which is itself is a herculean feat.
I relate Aditya Birla Group with the millennial generation because just like us it has adapted itself with constant innovation and learning while simultaneously keeping our roots alive.
Today Aditya Birla Group has employed 120,000 people belonging to 42 different nationalities, across 34 different countries. Its products and services include agribusiness, carbon black, cement, chemicals, E- commerce, finance, mining, retail, telecommunications and textile. As I live in Mumbai, the Bandra-Worli-Sea Link is a beautiful sight. There we notice the humongous rods and construction been done, I often wonder who the creator is when we learn it’s the UltraTech Cement Limited. Sitting inside the Mumbai-locals I learn how a large share of copper requirements of Indian Railways is fulfilled by Birla Copper.
As I write this essay, I realize I live in an eco system that is built by this group. From checking my first message using my IDEA connection, to wearing an ALLEN SOLLY suit to my B-school seminars, Aditya Birla Group has a presence in everything I do and everything I aspire to do.
How I overcame challenges in my life.
Associated with a financial services firm with limited opportunity and high package, I was in a happy place just few month back. But my ambitions were not letting me enjoy what this millennial generation craves for. I was just stuck with the same routine job has i had limited knowledge of finance as i was from a engineering background. The money that the job would have paid would have been high in the next few months but then the work was monotonous and the potential to learn new things were very less. I then had to take a step and decide to leave the job without having anything as a backup. The only option was to do an MBA in finance so that i have basics covered in finance and then my interest can take me to new heights.
Another problem that i had to face was my financial condition. Leaving a well paid job to doing an MBA which required me to ake a loan was another drastic step as i doubted myself if can do justice to this decision. But then finally took this decision after speaking to my professors and parents and now i am doing my MBA in NMIMS, one of the most reputed colleges in India.
