Over the past 150 years, the Aditya Birla Group is touching lives of people in this country and abroad in one way or another. From being the most trusted band for apparel and lifestyle products to being in partnership with one of the biggest telecom operators, it’s become a part of each one of our lives. For me too, like every other Indian, ABG has played a significant role in contributing to moments, big and small. From being a group that has made telecom and chains of apparel & lifestyle products easily accessible to all kinds of audiences to being one that serves all kinds of needs, regular or unique in these domains, the brands that the ABG Group has under its umbrella have been my go-to places most of the times. For me, this group’s presence has been there during all my life’s milestones, be it farewells, get-togethers or job interviews. Rushing to Van Huesen without thinking twice for formals to be worn on my big days to celebrating Father’s Day every year with Allen Solly or Peter England as the perfect gift to show my love, it has been a great association with ABG. Also, what contributes most to making a group like this special is that not only in the big moments, but in countless daily experiences, ABG has remained a constant. Be it a regular visit to a Pantaloon’s store which is found somewhere nearby always with a friend or two or simply the thought that comes in my mind about not changing my mobile network from Vodafone irrespective of a few issues here and there due to the absolute best customer service, I think it is these small moments of joy and security that the group gives me which make it significant in my life.
How have I overcome challenges in life?
I strongly believe in the fact that anyone’s journey of personal growth is incomplete if not faced with multiple challenges on the way that not only test your knowledge or mettle but also your mental strength and emotional intelligence. I, like every other individual have also faced numerous challenges in life, from adjusting in new places, proving my worth to achieving big targets and goals. Life has always thrown curveballs and personally, to overcome all these challenges, I have always tried to handle situations one at a time, as they come, without being overwhelmed by their magnanimity or the consequences that may follow. Following a focused and structured approach towards problem-solving, maintaining a certain level of stability and mental stature has always been my first steps to overcoming and dealing with difficult situations. Also, looking up to people who may be of help with respect to technical expertise, experience in the particular domain or simply of some emotional help has been a constant part of my endeavours, which not only leads to the problem being solved, but also finally results in great relationships and bonds being made. Hence, I always see challenges as opportunities to grow and discover myself, and they propel me to push my limits. I see them as stepping stones to emerging stronger and that makes the journey of overcoming them even more intense, rigorous yet rewarding and fun. It makes me value the journey even more, making me put my best foot forward in terms of making efforts, thinking out of the box and finding creative solutions to difficult problems.
