SDA Bocconi Asia Center
Aditya Birla Group is one of the biggest conglomerates which have made a significant impact
worldwide. The company is spread across 35 countries, having more than 120,000 employees. ABG's core values include sustainable development of the weaker section of the society and help increase the human development index.
I am doing my Masters at SDA Bocconi Asia Centre, so wearing formal clothes is a part of our routine. Hence I have been associated with brands like Allen Solly, Van Huesen, Louis Phillips, Peter England which provide a wide range of quality clothes. Secondly, my family has various insurance policies taken from Aditya Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Ltd. It helps inculcate savings and act as a collateral in contingency. ABG's telecom wing, Idea cellular merged with Vodafone India and became the largest telecom company in terms of subscribers. The network aims at seamless communication, which is a major requirement in this generation.
Other than their brands, I regularly visit the Birla mandir in Calcutta. It is an excellent piece of architecture and can accommodate a large number of people.
A major challenge I faced all through out school and college was the fear of public speaking. I overcame that challenge by joining various clubs and organising college events. One such major club was the Toastmaster's club, that majorly helped overcome this.
I also faced a problem in concentrating for a long span of time. To overcome this, I joined yoga and meditation which helped me become more disciplined and focused.
