Aditya Birla Group is omnipresent throughout the journey of humans satisfying their needs and at the same time instilling the enthusiasm to chase after new dreams. The group has been by my side throughout my life and will continue to be so in the forthcoming future. The fascination with the group started during my childhood when my father was explaining me how the quality of Ultratech Cement defers from other cement manufacturers while constructing our house. At that point, I understood that completing a given work in time while not compromising on its quality would make an individual stand ahead of his competition and make him trustworthy. On a similar note, for every grocery need my mother used to make me run to MORE Supermarket and probably, that was the only errand which I enjoyed because I was allowed to pick up a chocolate of my choice. Frequent visits to the store made me realize how effectively all the items were compartmentalized which enabled a smoother transition for the customers. This exposure gradually inculcated a habit in me to organize and prioritize my tasks effectively which is an essential trait for a person as it decreases the stress levels.
It was a very emotional moment for me when I was selected for MBA IB program at IIFT which I again shared with my trusted partner, Aditya Birla Group. I bought my first set of business formals at Peter England. I still remember the proud look on the face of my parents when they first saw me in a Peter England suit
The most daunting task for any human would be transforming himself into a better individual by forgoing the well-rooted negative habits and inculcating good practices. I was an adamant believer of the notion, “Let Life Play Its Course” and had a flawed thought process. I felt the control which I had over my life was very limited. The reality soon dawned on me and I realized that I need to be held accountable for my own actions. I was aiming to pursue my MBA from an esteemed University, which demanded a gruesome preparation for the entrance exams. Initially it seemed to be an overwhelming task. The major challenge was trying to maintain a balance between work, family, friends and at the same time preparing for the toughest competitive examinations. I forced a heavy transition upon myself, even though a part of me resisted it, from a lethargic lifestyle to a hardworking, goal oriented and balanced lifestyle. I had to prioritize my tasks, let go of the things which were of less value addition and utilize every ounce of time I get by engaging in some productive activities. By following a strict schedule and keeping a tab on my activities, I was able to cope up with the preparation and was successful not only in securing an admission in a premier Business school but was also awarded Star Performer of the month at Accenture for showing my diligence in work.
