About ABG
Aditya Birla Group is one of the most premier business conglomerates in India. It started out as just a jute manufacturing company in 1919 but is now one of the most sought after multi-product companies. Aditya Birla Group has touched my life in many aspects. I am always connected with the world, be it to my friends or my colleagues and use high-speed internet thanks to Vodafone Idea Limited. Vodafone SuperNet 4G enables me to do research on the go and stay updated with the world. Another way ABG has influenced my life is through its clothing line. Getting into a B-school is one thing, but preparing yourself to look presentable is another. Brands like Allen Solly and Van Heusen have made my life easier when it comes to choosing women’s formal clothing. So, ABG definitely holds a special place in my life.
Overcoming Challenges
I left my job at the age of 26 after suffering from a bout of depression. I was working with a huge MNC but I wasn’t able to fit in; I did not enjoy going to office and I was severely unhappy with the work that I was doing. Most of all, I had issues with my manager (sounds familiar?) who was a misogynist and would expect me to act subserviently. To add to my miseries, I had a very uncooperative team who would find it very normal for a manager to expect sycophancy from his juniors. So, I decided to resign and look for better career options in order to re-instill faith in myself in terms of my ability to succeed in life. As I was browsing the internet, I came across an advertisement by Career Launcher which flashed discount offers for their online courses (all that I could afford at that moment). I enrolled for the same and the rest, as they say, is history. Well, nothing that dramatic, but one whole year of sheer hard work and perseverance helped me turn my ‘MBA’ dream into reality. As I write this story, I feel glad to have come so far and definitely count this as one of my better decisions in life.
