“I never lose; I either win or learn.”
-Nelson Mandela
People make through their worst times and never give up that’s how winning is done, and then there comes who can’t cope up with the life and get learning out of it. Everybody gets through hard times, and for me, hard times had a special appointment. I had never been diagnosed with any disease until my school was over. Then came the hard times, I was facing some health issues, and it took me nine months to get my treatment done. This time was my first year of college. After this, it didn’t stop there; I caught an infection just after that, which made me half of what my weight should have been, and these are not the only things that were coming in my way, say ruining my academics and my sports personality, there were many. Here you can’t afford to lose as your dream being an MBA is on stake, even if your body is not supporting you, but your mind should. That’s what took me through, and that was what I needed to secure an admission in a premier institute like IIM Vishakhapatnam. Those three years of my life I’ve seen so much that gave me a lesson, never to give up, and six months after college taught me you can stand, fight and win, no matter what the situation is, keep your mind healthy, and body will follow.
Aditya Birla Group: Together, forever
We as kids, wandering around the localities, always have been watching huge hoardings and paintings of ABG, mostly the Ultratech Cement. Never knew at that time that how some cement company whose hoardings I saw in Delhi, is used in Gujarat to make our home. As soon as puberty hit us, one more thing hit, which was brand consciousness. As far as a brand is concerned, the first thing someone checks in the product is the quality of that product and being in the market for this long and noting the popularity of these brands; there’s no question about the quality of brands like Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Peter England, Louis Philippe, etc. These brands have always been there for us. And again, this organisation is so diverse that even after the studies and in the corporate world, we most probably will be dealing with at least one or two products or services of ABG in that corporate world also. Their product line, subsidiaries, partners are so diverse that we can see them in every other step we take. It's not just an organisation; it has become an integral part of our lives.
