Only very few organizations manage to survive and thrive in the competitive business environment of the 21st century. The challenge is not just limited to enhancing the bottom line of the businesses but also to create real value for their customers. Many organizations resort to short cuts and other malpractices to achieve their goals in the short run but fail to look ahead at the long term consequences.
But there are only a few big names in the Industry which come to our minds when we go about doing our daily routines and Aditya Birla Group is one of them. Whether it is the daily task of packing your lunch in Superwrap foils, wearing your Peter England or Van Heusen shirt for the office, sipping Coca Cola from the cans probably manufactured using Aluminum rolled by Hindalco or just simply explaining your colleagues that you’ll reach the meeting in just another 5 mins using IDEA, Aditya Birla Group has managed to create a major impact in our lives.
From Financial services to textiles to telecom to metals and so on, Aditya Birla Group has a huge stronghold and expertise in the industries that it has entered into.
Additionally, what really gives the Aditya Birla Group a special advantage over its competitors are the values that it strives to incorporate in the organization. Power of 5 – Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness and Speed are defining blocks of the mission and vision of Aditya Birla Group. Consequently, it leaves no doubt in my mind that Aditya Birla Group truly is one the most valuable conglomerates in the Fortune 500 hundred list.
How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
Challenges and Hardships are a part and parcel of every individual’s life. Everyday, we encounter hundreds of challenges some of which are small while others are large. We must learn to remain in high life condition irrespective of the challenges that we encounter so that we can analyze the situation and take appropriate decisions.
I have encountered various challenges to reach to the stage that I am currently at but one of the most difficult one was that when we had to complete a particular deliverable in a deadline that was considered to be impossible. In the Audit industry, at times we are faced with clients that have a lot of issues in the way in which their accounts are prepared and the lack of their compliance with government standards. I faced such a client at a very crucial time, it was the time when my interviews for B-Schools were going to start and I had to prepare for them as well as do justice to my job. I was startled at first but I took upon this challenge as an opportunity for growth. I used to get up real early in the morning, exercise, get ready for the day and study for the interviews while commuting. After putting in 8-9hrs of rigorous work, meeting daily deliverables, mentoring my team members and preparing the task for next day, I would leave the office. But I could not relax just yet, I would again study for the duration of my commute back home and again for some more time after having my dinner. This process continued for 3-4 weeks but what I achieved in the end was something that I aspired for long. I was successfully able to meet the expectations of the project lead and was able to convert one of the best B-Schools in the country.
I strongly believe that any challenge seems to be very daunting and frightening at the face of it but they are hidden opportunities for growth and we all must gracefully embrace them.
