Communication: I consider myself fortunate to be a part of Idea (Telecom service provider of ABG) as I have been using the sim card for the last10 years. The kind of services I have got from the Idea is absolutely impressive. The network, functionality of sim card and customer services is commendable.
Insurance: My family has been in the business with Aditya Birla Sun life Insurance since many years. So it helped my family plan for future, thereby focusing on children’s future, wealth protection, retirement solutions, savings plans and health plans. The services provided built a trust in me and my family to stay financially secured with small savings at regular intervals.
When we decide to achieve something in life, we not only have to make the roadmap for our journey ahead but also clear the path that we actually choose for reaching our ambition. The path includes various challenges that pull you back from achieving your ambition. Keeping a positive attitude at all times is a big key to success. Negativity can bring you down, avoid it at all costs. Avoid negative people and surround yourself with people who are always positive, the world will seem much brighter.
I worked with L&T for two and half years in which I got a chance to work under two different teams operating in India and Bangladesh. While working with L&T at site in Bangladesh, I got a chance to lead a project in Dhaka. The major obstacle during my two months tenure in Dhaka was the communication (language) barrier that I faced. I was supposed to get the work done from the firm whose production in charge was a Chinese personnel and floor in charge was a Bangladeshi professional. It was an arduous task as I was a single point of contact between the site, head office and the vendor. And this was impacting my performance a lot.
So I started focusing on improving my communication skills apart from primary work. I achieved this by indulging with ground level workshop people who were comfortable with Hindi. Although I faced reluctance with the process as not many people agreed to help me during their working hours, I gradually managed to coordinate with the stakeholders and got the work done without hampering the progress at site.
This experience made me realize that if challenges are bigger, one can definitely learn the most out them. Adaptability, patience and self-confidence are the qualities that I discovered within myself during the process and it helped me evolve as a professional. I learnt that cultural difference does exist but they can not hamper your success if you decide not to give up.
