Being a millennial kid, I, have seen our country grow along with us in all circles of life. From a country suffering from hunger and poverty and later becoming the world’s fastest-growing nation. There has always been a key industry player who has been the flag bearer of the country even before independence. Yes, it's, Aditya Birla Group, this conglomerate has made its presence felt in every sector. From the roads that connected our cities to villages, to the school uniforms from their textile mills, from the Hindalco aluminium foils, our mother's wrapped our lunch in, to the schools that have been built by ultratech cement and to the Idea telecommunications network that connected every corner of the nation. They have always had an impact on our generation. There was an Idea network advertisement that was broadcasted in our childhood featuring Abhishek Bachchan wherein each person was referred to as a number. That particular advertisement hit me hard and made me realise how distinguished and differentiating can equality, and no judgment mindset be. It reflected the remarkable change that can be made to our Indian society if we consider not being swayed away with gender, caste, religion, or any other biased thought process. Aditya Birla Group has always been the company that has not only stuck to the product they're delivering but the intent behind a
belief that an "IDEA" can make an impact as good as a product is what differentiates them.
I come from a small town where it’s all about students and their merits; all that mattered was education, sports and other activities that made a child an all-rounder. In this race of becoming an over-achiever, I believed my ways to connect with people were always different from my peers, and that's what made me stand out. I've been undermined and suppressed by my schoolmates by being called out an immature and a talkative person who couldn’t keep secrets and faced quite hardships maintaining a solid reputation in school. While facing this, I decided to deal with it confidently. Although it kept me drenched with the fear of social validation, I pushed myself against all these barriers. Once I stepped out and put my foot in the college, the same guy that was a case of bullying, undervalue and daunting, comes out as a confident, charming and affable personality who understood people and this made them connect with me. Today I can confidently talk about how diverse and robust my network is.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.
This song has always been on the back of my head, motivating me to overcome every hurdle that comes to my path, and has made my chin up, keep my head high, and aim and always asked for an individual to give your best shot irrespective of the surrounding barriers and
light will shine on your ways.
