In a time where most citizens in developed countries worry about better standards of living and bigger houses, an average Indian aspires for a small home. It is the first place where the Aditya Birla Group touches the heart of ordinary Indians. UltraTech, as the largest and most renowned manufacturer of cement in the Indian continent, is close to the heart of most Indians. Belonging to a middle-class family UltraTech has also brought happiness in my life. Other than home, its textile, cellular, insurance and financial, aluminum products and fashion & retail sectors made a deep impression in our life. Hindalco, one of the largest aluminum manufacturer of the country, made us self-reliable on aluminum products. Aditya Birla Group’s subsidiary Grasim Industries is the world's largest producer of viscose rayon fiber and gives new dimensions to Indian Textile Industry. The group's fashion arm has in-house brands such as Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Peter England, and People. These fulfill all my fashion needs and give immense satisfaction. Pantaloons chain meets my day to day clothing needs. I still remember the joy when I got my first mobile phone and the service provided by Idea sim take my happiness four-folds. Not just the present life, Aditya Birla Group’s financial services also secure my future in all possible ways. Aditya Birla Capital provides end to end financial solutions for my money needs. By protecting, Investing, and advising about our financial needs, Aditya Birla Group helps us to get a peaceful sleep.

As said by Paulo Coelho, "When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change." Challenge is part of life. It is the challenges in our life which make us strong. As being an introvert and not very social in my early childhood, I always feared to stay between the strangers. Whether its some relatives or neighbours, I always tried to stay behind and away from them. Even in my school days, it was tough for me to make good friends and my friend circle was limited between 2-3 persons. But I never expected life had a different plan for me. I decided to do engineering in a place which is one day journey from my hometown. And to enhance the thrill, the native language of the area was different from Hindi. I never expected that I could survive in an environment where 90 percent of students talk in another language. But the situation changed me completely. The first day I spent on my hostel I cried a lot, and out of 10 of us who were sharing a three BHK flat (Temporary hostel of college for the first year), nine were speaking in their native language. But this very experience taught me how to adapt myself, how to make friends and more importantly, how to rely on myself. This four-year journey made me self-reliant and changed my personality completely. And it is hard to believe for anyone who meets me now, that I was the same introvert guy as described above.
