Aditya Birla Group is not just a group but a world in itself. ABG has been a strong force in my life, and I believe this has been a case for most of the people in India. My association with the company started with me achieving my first milestone, i.e. when I cleared my 10th I got my first phone and with that idea cellular now Vodafone-Idea. This was my first interaction with ABG and I was impressed by its service and values.
Then I came to know that idea wasn’t my first association with ABG but I was associated with it for a long time through its apparel brands i.e pantaloons a go-to destination for family shopping, a place where there are plethora of options for everyone and also Van Heusen, Allen Solly, and Louis Phillipe, an important part especially when I joined MBA. A corporate world demands proper grooming and dressing sense which these brands have helped me achieve.
Aditya Birla group has always taken good care of its shareholders; coming from a business family that deals in construction materials I had a privilege to experience it first-hand. Ultra tech cement helped me to experience my first live cricket match at Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad. The match was between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings in 2010 IPL, it was a great experience and the way whole trip was organized it showed how sincere they are in bringing smiles on the faces of their shareholders.
Aditya Birla Group has been one of the strong pillars in the success story of India. Contributing to the development of the country since 1969. The values of the firm being carried by its all group companies in its true form is something I admire the “Power of 5 – Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness, and Speed”.
Challenge I overcame
I believe that failure doesn’t define an individual but his action after it definitely does. I have been an above-average student throughout my life but I have never failed or never had to repeat a year, hence when I failed in my second year of college and I had to repeat a year and this came to me as a shock. I felt that my life has stopped but the support of my family helped me to overcome that feeling. During that year, everyone would never let you forget about your failure and keep on reminding it
That one year had changed my life in many ways, it gave me the confidence to face challenges as well as failures. I even had a thought of dropping out of engineering because I felt that I am not capable of it. But I did not drop out instead I worked hard for the whole year and finished my engineering scoring 3.02 GPA out of 4.00 in my final semester and also winning Best Project award for my final year project.
That one year gave me a chance to step back to introspect and think about what I really want from my life, as before this I never thought about it. I learned that to be successful you should persistence with sheer determination towards your goal. Once you lose your sight of the goal than it is very difficult to achieve. So whenever I feel demotivated I try to look at the bigger picture and remind myself that this is very important to achieve the goal. This attitude towards life has helped me achieve a good score in MBA Entrance Exams.
