Aditya Birla Group, the brand says it all! Aditya Birla Group known as ABG with its presence across 20 countries continues to render an invaluable service for the country. With its early days closely tied to the Indian Independence movement, ABG has outlived the former to equip India take rapid strides to seize the offerings of the modern world. Its towering industrial presence across a range of products bracketed in different sectors has touched the lives of the Indians for the better and I am no exception to this.
I have always had a great liking for branded apparels like Louise Phillipe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Peter England. They offer a premium experience and are famous for their quality and style. A little research made me realize that they had something more in common; they are all part of ABG. Now I know what makes them tick! Planet Fashion, a fashion retail store owned by ABG has transformed my experience of shopping branded clothes. The variety which I found in their stores is exhaustive. The disenchantment that used to creep in after visiting stores after stores looking for outfits of my taste to only later settle down for something without much satisfaction has become a thing of past.
Just as in fashion, ABG through its subsidiary Vodafone India has contributed immensely in scaling up the telecom sector in India. Vodafone, for me is the epitome of reliability and affordability. A vivid memory of a train journey where I was so engrossed in texting and surfing that I initially did not notice my co-passengers cursing their service provider when the train was stranded in a secluded place helped me realize how significant small choices could become.
Just like how I trust Ultratech Cement, yet another subsidiary of ABG, while sleeping under the roofs of my house, I repose my faith on ABG to continue transforming the lives of people.
Challenges: A cheat code for success
I believe challenges play a pivotal role in the development of an individual. In the hindsight, I believe that learning to embrace the challenges and then take them head-on has made all the difference in my life. It makes me focused and resolute to achieve my goals. Whenever I embarked on taming the obstacles thrown at me, I invariable found a way to emerge victorious. This made me receptive to the fact that it is only the attitude that differentiates those who sets limits to their horizon from those who are remembered for generations. I am very keen to share a small but important chapter of my life.
After pursuing my engineering, I landed up in an MNC which is a pioneer in their domain. I was hugely privileged to associate myself with such a towering brand. I was having a wonderful time at work with frequent team outings for dinner, birthday bashes and lot of other perks. Life was comfortable and peaceful. As days passed by, the initial euphoria gradually settled down and paved way for monotonousness. I started looking out for other opportunities. Soon it dawned on me that more challenging job profiles were my true calling. This was when I started to contemplate about something that was unimaginable at one point of time; to pursue an MBA. I had to pull myself to brace up for one of the most competitive exams called CAT! As always, I was up for the challenge. With a focused preparation for 4 months by managing my professional commitments, I aced CAT successfully. And here am I inching towards by dreams after having secured admissions to one of the most prestigious colleges in the country.
