ABG - My Growth Partner! - Shivam Khurana, DMS IIT Delhi

PART A:

Aditya Birla Group is something that may not solely be seen, however it's one thing that may be felt into the guts of the people. From improving the quality of life of many underprivileged people to taking care of many people aspirations, it's deeply rooted in everyone’s life with its presence to be felt all over.

Thinking back, I notice that ABG has continually influenced my life in a way or another. From my clothing to my service provider(Idea), ABG has been a part of many spheres of my life. Their outlets are my Go-to places before any big event in my life. These brands offer me a sense of trust, belief, and credence.

I would like to emphasize that all the ABG products have one factor in common; Quality. When we try to analyse how these brands became so inherent in our lives the sole answer which will emerge is that every one of ABG brands provide highest quality product. ABG has been able to enter my life through totally different routes by providing happiness in each of it. I believe, unconsciously we all are a part of a big ABG family.

PART B:

Since my childhood, I'm among the most extroverted and confident guys in the room. But beneath this extrovertedness, there was an under confident Public Speaker. I used to tremble at the thought of facing a large audience at the public podium so I always shied away from being in that spotlight.

But I always knew, in order to change this I had to give myself a chance to fail. Even though I kept imagining horrible scenarios, like the audience laughing at me, I intentionally started to feed two counter positive thoughts for each negative one. That was my way to reduce the fear of audience’s rejection.

So over the next few events, I accepted opportunities to do a few speaking engagements. Whenever I found an opportunity to speak to a group, I no longer told myself I couldn't do it. Instead, I assured myself that talking to a group of people was nothing in comparison with other things I’d endured. To improve further I started to engage with Public Speaking groups where we used to help each member in getting over this fear.

Although at times I still get the feeling of panic --my heart would race and my palms sweat-- but I would tell myself I was going to do well. I believe there is still a lot to learn but I also believe that "Taking a step at a time is better than taking no step at all"
