Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life?

Aditya Birla Group is a brand whose product has been used by everyone across India at least once in his life team. From the day you come in this world, to the day you die there will be something related to ABG that will be around you. There is a high probability that the house, building, hospital, school or any such institution around you would have used an ABG product, it can be Ultratech cement or any non-ferrous material processed by it. If you are in crowd you will see at least a few of them wearing a brand of AB Group, especially if you are in a metro city everyone would have more than once in his life wore a cloth by ABG. It can include Van Heusen, Pantaloons, Planet fashion, Peter England and many other such brands. So it will not be wrong to say that ABG has been in everyone’s house.

Even if we do not see it around us, it is around us, wonder how? Well the answer is Idea & Vodafone, so there is rarely any place ABG has not reached. I still remember the first mobile sim card that we used was from Idea and we still have that same number, so, it a relation of over 12 years. And you can assume similarly how many families have had their own first memories with ABG. I still remember my father and grandfather proudly using Grasim clothes proudly. ABG has touched people in every sphere of life across all boundaries. One thing that I can assure you of is you pick any person from a crowd and he would have come across atleast one product of ABG whether he knows it or not.

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?

The toughest battle you ever face in your life is with yourself. My most significant challenge has also been from myself. When I entered 8th standard I had to change my school as my previous school was only up to middle level. The two schools had very different culture, in my previous school there was no major emphasis on English and computer science. However, here teachers and students conversed only in English. Also, computer science was a part of the main curriculum. In the beginning I found it very difficult to cope up with it because I did not have sufficient elementary level knowledge. There came moments when I felt alienated as I could not make any friends. However, I am grateful to my parents and teachers who had faith in me and helped me in overcoming my fears. I started working on my weaknesses, I used to stay back after school hours and spend extra time in computer lab. I started reading English books from library. Eventually things started getting better, my teachers noticed my improvement and appreciated the same. This gave a boost to my dwindling confidence and I decided that I will perform even better; I ended up securing 4th rank in 8th Standard and was school topper in 10th standard.
