Not a day in my life passes without coming into contact with an Aditya Birla Group(ABG) product or service in some way or the other. I wake up in the morning and gives a call to girlfriend from my Idea sim. There starts my daily journey with ABG . After getting ready , I put on my Peter England shirt and Louis Philippe jeans and decide to head out. On my way, I see a huge billboard advertisement for Ultratech cement. The ABG logo makes me realise that it is an ABG brand. I reach the nearest mall , where my friends are waiting for me. We go into the Pantaloons store to pick up some new clothes to wear on the occasion of our friend’s marriage. My friends tell me that Pantaloons is from the house of ABG. After a fun filled day I come back home. I ask my dad about ABG’s presence in our lives. He tells me that the roofing sheets used in our house are Hindalco, an ABG brand. With an ignited curiosity, I decide to learn more about Aditya Birla Group. I come to know that the group was founded in 1857, the year India witnessed its first war of Independence. I realise that since then ABG has been at the forefront of transforming the lives of millions for the better , through constant innovation and foraying into new industry sectors. With a presence ranging from Agribusiness to Chemicals and from Textile to Wind power , ABG is a true multinational conglomerate. The Aditya Birla Group will continue to be a big presence not in my life alone, but in the lives of millions all over the world.
“ You have failed CA and now you want to take CAT ?!” is the question that greeted me from my loved ones when I told them I wanted to give a shot at CAT. And the question was a very fair one. I had failed CA-IPCC not once or twice but 4 times. After being a good student all my life, the failure at this exam was a tough pill to swallow. Even though I came within reach of clearing the exam , I couldn’t actually clear it. It had a detrimental effect on my morale. After my 4th attempt – which is a time period of 2 years – I decided to pursue B.Com under private registration. All the 3 years of my graduation, I was confined to my home , when most of my peers were pursuing their degrees in the most prestigious institutions. I was constantly bombarded with questions like “ Haven’t you completed CA yet?” , “Are you not putting in enough effort? “ etc. which took a toll on me. At the end of five years after my Higher Secondary education , all I had against my name was a B.Com degree under private registration. On completion of my degree , I decided to prepare for CAT. It certainly was not an easy decision as the consequences of failure would have been huge. Mustering up my courage , I gave it my best shot and came out with flying colours. Here I am currently , pursuing my dreams at TAPMI , one of the country’s premier business schools.
