Aditya Birla group - A name which is always found in Indian household intentionally or unintentionally. It’s not just the products of ABG, which eased our life, there is even a bigger story behind it. We always remember Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, and many prominent names when we talk of freedom struggle. But it was people like
Ganshyamdas Birla, who supported these freedom fighters, talk of it as financially or mentally.
We owe this group respect not just for the world-class products we have of it. It’s also the freedom we owe to ABG which we should remember and the struggles of people like Mr. G.D. Birla, who had a warrant issued against him for helping Gandhiji during the freedom struggle. Also, it is his ideas for founding
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), which always helps India to grow economically. Now, let’s talk about products, we are surrounded by products of ABG, I am using idea network for last many years, Buy clothes from pantaloons, Peter England is my first choice for buying formals, always. Being a civil engineer, I always know, when we require some specific kind of cement, Ultratech cement is the name that comes to our head unconsciously.
It is the vision and dedication of ABG that have eased our life. We need to learn from it that without corporate Social responsibility and the things that evolved theoretically in the late 1980s, which Birla group is doing without any obligation, just for the service of the nation.
How I overcame my challenges
Life is always a roller coaster ride, you want it or not, it always has plans for you. No matter, how much precautions you take, you can’t escape the difficulties in your life. But what is the solution to it? Well, I always believe, the only solution to the problem is just to face it and fight it. Being brave is the weapon here.
I was very shy and introvert kind of person, I couldn’t speak, leave English, not even in Hindi. I always found it difficult to communicate. I always faced the challenge of talking to new people, expressing my views and ideas confidently.
How did I fight it? Well, it’s not an easy thing, first thing first, we have to remove fear from ourselves within, and it’s not the war you have to win against others. It is a war within ourselves. It was really difficult at first, but slowly I stopped being fearful and tried to talk, later it started to improve, and after that, the trend was set in the upward direction and I improved my confidence level to communicate with others easily. It seems to be easy for others but it is the war within, not an easy war to win, it needs a good effort, and persistence to win it.
