“Our mission has always been to be leaders in each of our businesses, which is one, two, or three.” -Kumar Mangalam Birla
The key pillars of Aditya Birla Group’s Vision Statement are Leadership, Role Model, Broad-Based and Integrated, and this is precisely what ABG has stood for years, as a beacon of self-reliance post-independence. Aditya Birla group with over seven decades of responsible business practices, operations in 35 other nations, including India, is now one of the biggest conglomerates in India. The various sectors in which the group's deals are viscose staple fibre, metals, cement, chemicals, fertilizers, insulators, branded apparel, viscose filament yarn, carbon black, financial services, BPO and IT services and telecom.
How has the Aditya Birla group touched my life? I didn’t need to think long; their presence is everywhere; the group has become a ubiquitous symbol for reliability and trust. From the moment I wake up, I use products related directly or indirectly to ABG. The SIM I use belongs to
Vodafone Idea Limited Network, a merger between Vodafone India and ABG company Idea cellular. It has never failed me in times of needs and has one of the most extensive network coverage in the country. Right from my childhood, my mother has used
Freshwrapp; she has never trusted any other brand for safety and hygiene. I fondly remember using the wrapper after having my lunch as a makeshift ball for playing cricket in my school days, such times.
As I grew up, Aditya Birla group’s presence in my life only grew, the trains I have travelled in use copper from ABG, which is the single largest contributor. The fashion outlet,
Pantaloons owned by the group have been my go-to place for fashionable and smart line of apparels. In fact, for my first formal suit, I went for
Van Heusen, which is a leading lifestyle brand under Madura Fashion & Lifestyle owned by Aditya Birla Group. As an MBA student, dressing professionally is an important part of the culture. For my professional clothes, I trust only two brands,
Van Heusen and
Peter England, both owned by ABG. The group caters to every group, from affordable and mass-market to luxurious, high-end style.
Directly or Indirectly Aditya Birla Group has touched the lives of millions of others like me.
Ultratech cement is responsible for strong foundations for people’s dream, their homes and will continue for generations to come. Aditya Birla Group employees 1,20,000+ people (as of 2015) in its various companies and some of my friends are employed there too. They are content and proud to work with Aditya Birla Group, and their happiness is my happiness. Thus I would say it is difficult to come across a facet of our life, which has not been influenced by Aditya Birla Group, and I am grateful for its positive presence in my life.
Talking about my life, I live by simple ideals and a sense of dedication in whatever task I do. I have always wanted my actions and work to speak for me and what I stand for. I remember a particular incident in my school when I wanted to take part in a quiz competition, but no one wanted to partner with me as they wanted class toppers as a team member. I have always been passionate about quizzing and hence when no one wanted to partner with me, I felt bad and wanted to prove myself, I convinced a friend to team up, and we won the school qualifiers, and my teams stood 2
nd in city qualifiers. I stood up against the odds and won, earning the respect of others as well.
I have tried to maintain the same level of perseverance throughout my life. Working as an offshore team member for an Indian IT major, I convinced my team members that we could complete a difficult deliverable on time. Being senior to other team members, I helped them in understanding the works and how to avoid mistakes and work efficiently. We were successful and won accolades from our seniors at the onsite location.
