Little did I know when I was giving an interview for joining a company and was asked where do you see yourself in next 5 years then i said i want to join MBA program and improve my skill-set for managing people. That decision of giving a straight forward answer according to me was Big in my life. A seed was planted in me to pursue what I said and I began to work towards achieving it. I did not get admission in the first attempt. I learnt my mistakes and put a lot of hard work in my next attempt, this time i missed my admission by a very little margin (I was Wait list 3). In my third (which would have been my last) attempt I was in retrospection, what was my mistake and found its not only hard work but I need to combine it with smart work to succeed. This time I was in an interview for admission in MBA program and i still remember my attire was from the brand Allen Solly, was prepared with my answer for the question " Where do you see yourself in next 5 years" this time with higher level of confidence. I got selected and am able to do what i said. In the process of achieving my goal i got support from my family, peers and well-wishers without which this could not have been possible.
As the new advertisement of Aditya Birla Group says " A vision becomes a milestone when it helps make our life richer with love and laughter". It inspires me and makes me think of it as a universal truth. Whenever this video is played i could observe how ABG has evolved over the years in becoming Big in our life. The video explains the importance given to people who become a family member of ABG group. In a short span of a minute i could observe the values (Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness, Speed) and having a clear focus on each of businesses which is the vision (a milestone) of the group. ABG as its logo says is a new mark for new milestones and with its brand new journey of all the businesses ( Aditya Birla Capital, Hindalco Novelis, Birla carbon, Ultratech, Aditya Birla fashion & retail, Vodafone-Idea) I believe is able to deliver superior value to its customers, shareholders, employees and society at large and making its vision a milestone by touching billions of lives every single day.
