Draw strength from your battles and you’ll never be weak again!!!

Born and brought up in a small suburban place in Jharkhand, I always knew that I shall have to move far away from home for education and job. So, after matriculation I moved to Bokaro for my further studies. Raised as a single child with minimal worldly exposure, here I was a teenager in a new town all by myself. From food to education, for the first time in my life there was no one to fall back on. The food was horrible, the room I stayed in wasn’t up to the mark and most importantly I was struggling to strike balance between school and coaching institute. I felt lost and doubted myself on several occasions. Somehow, I stuck through but the first few months were tough, my grades took a nosedive, and health deteriorated. What kept me going were my parents and the hardships I knew they had undergone to put me to the place I was. So, every time I failed, I remembered them and reiterated the dreams we shared. It helped me to keep standing through the rough patches. It took me little time to adjust but, in few months, I started gaining the confidence back and the grades also started to improve. Today it has been over a decade and since then and I have moved to several cities for education and job. But those tough days remains to be the compass of my life.

How Aditya Birla Group has improved so many lives ?

Having had started in 1857, much before India became independent, Aditya Birla Group has literally seen India grow from a colonial nation to one of the superpowers of world that it currently is. It would also be fair to say that Aditya Birla Group has not only grew with India but has had a deep impact on everything that India currently is.

Aditya Birla Group currently stands as one of the major international conglomerates influencing millions of lives with its umpteen array of brands. One of my first exposure to the Aditya Birla Group was when I came across Ultratech Cement, the brand which has literally helped build the nation. Not just construction, rather Aditya Birla Group has made its presence felt in almost every walk of life. From telecommunication and textile to financial services and agriproducts, Aditya Birla Group has touched lives of millions of the people including mine. And it plans to continue working towards its mission:

“To deliver superior value to our customers, shareholders, employees and society at large”

Apart from its business products, Aditya Birla Group has continued playing an important role in helping society through various CSR schemes. Over the years Aditya Birla Group has brought smiles to people by providing them various health, education, skill development and other opportunities to improve their lives.

As said by Mrs. Rajashree Birla, Chairperson Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, Aditya Birla Group continues to stand firm on its vow to “Build a better, sustainable way of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the country's human development index.”
