Impact of Aditya Birla Group
Aditya Birla Group, ever since it was founded in 1857, has always been striving to deliver superior value to the customers and the society as a whole. Allen Solly, Hindalco, Louis Philippe, Pantaloons, Peter England, Ralph Lauren, Ultratech Cement, Van Heusen are all brands that everyone knows of and whose products people much prefer to products from other brands in the same sector. Idea Cellular, after the merger with Vodafone India is now the largest telecom company in India in terms of revenue and subscribers.
By acquiring major brands in certain sectors and dong mergers in other sectors, Aditya Birla Group has ensured that they live up to their mission of providing the best to the society.
For me as an individual, ABG has provided the opportunity to not compromise on quality and has set the benchmark against which I would compare the products that I would use in my daily life. Its vast network also ensures that people in every corner of the nation has access to their products. By doing so, effectively ABG is improving the quality of life of an average Indian. The most important thing is that it has its presence in almost all the major sectors, which provides people with a good number of options and the assurance that quality will not be compromised.
The presence of ABG forces other players in the market also to provide quality products at a fair price. ABG’s future ventures would hopefully be similarly beneficial to everyone.
Overcoming challenges to achieve ambitions
In my life, I have travelled to different parts of India, since my father has a transferrable job. It’s not easy to know that you won’t be at a particular place for not longer than 3-4 years. Learning new cultures, languages, meeting new people, making new friends, it all seems difficult, especially to someone who is not so much of an extrovert. I remember, the first time I moved from my native place to Chhattisgarh, I failed in my exam in Hindi and Sanskrit. It was my first exposure to Sanskrit and the level of Hindi was a bit too much. It was hard to understand Hindi let alone converse, and this was when I was 9 years old. Because of this, it was really hard to make friends, since people weren’t really enthusiastic about talking in English when they already had friends who could talk in Hindi. It was a time when I was kind of depressed. But I, along with a lot of support from my family, had the will to not stop trying. Luckily I also was able to find a really good friend who helped me adjust myself to the new surroundings. Eventually I learnt the language and made a lot of friends. This was the single turning point in my life. If I had just given up then, then maybe I would have turned out to fail in other subjects as well. So, yes, Never give up, would be my motto.
