Aditya Birla Group is the first name that comes in my mind when I think of fortune 500 company in the world. Every Indian feels proud that Indian conglomerate has spanned over 35 countries and has a strength of around 120,000 employees which belong to as many as 42 nations. The group clocked revenue of 44.3$ Billion and is the third-largest private conglomerate of India. The Birla group was founded in 1857 by Seth Shiv Narayan Birla is over a century and a half old and has been able to touch millions of lives in one way or the other.
Talking about how ABG has impacted my life, the products or services offered by ABG have been my companion through various walks of life, starting from early childhood when my mom used to pack my favorite ‘Aloo Parathas’ or ‘Vegetable sandwich’ in “freshpakk” and “freshwrap” which kept the food fresh and hygienic for hours before I munched on them.
Since childhood I always loved to stay updated with the new fashion trends, though be it in the children fashion segment and the only placed where I was able to find the latest trends was Pantaloons and that was my one go-to destination for shopping, were I was able to find high-quality clothes coupled with low price.
Last but not the least, in the digital world data is the new oil and who else than an MBA student knows how important is to stay always digitally connected to the whole world and stay updated with recent happening around the globe, Idea-Vodafone Superfast 4G plays a vital role in fulfilling these criteria in my life which is of prime importance.
The Game Changer
Once in my life I always wanted to play cricket with season ball but I never got the chance to do so, as my parents never supported me to pursue a carrier in the field of cricket, but life presented me with an opportunity when I joined Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology for my Bachelor in Engineering degree.
The college held a season ball cricket tournament every year called Engineering Premier League (EPL) and the finals of the tournament where played in D.Y.Patil Cricket Stadium under floodlights, I went for the selection of the team in second and third year but failed as I wasn’t physically fit and failed in the mini Yo-Yo test, I was really upset my multiple failures as my dream was at line.
To overcome I started training 5 days a week, and started jogging for 3km followed by 5, 100m sprints which improved my physical fitness and in the final year of Engineering I got selected in the team “EXTC Fireballs”.
I was promoted as the opening batsman with U-21 Mumbai player Ajinkya Parte, all the 15 players gave their best and we qualified for the final against the defending champions and my dream of playing was about to come true, we eventually won the match, I also got to share the same dressing room which was once shared by cricketing giants like Sachin and Dhoni.
I learned that if I set a goal, make a plan and work on it daily, there is no looking back and I have carried on the same fighting spirit since then.
