I have always heard my father during my childhood days that, “one should become like the Tata’s and the Birla’s”. He also added that "The Birla's and the Tata's were running the Indian corporate setup" when I posed questions about business right from the early days. I feel bemused that those words said by my father still stands and will be the same in future as well. Such is the power of being the forerunners and trendsetters of Indian businesses and Aditya Birla Group is the best among the lot.

Everyone’s life had been made big by Aditya Birla Group and the same had been touched me with all the brands presented above. This is how Aditya Birla is big in my life.
I had Marketing Research course – Business Research Methods during my 3
rdtrimester wherein one needs to understand and solve the business problems with SPSS. I was very much interested in market research and began working on the same. I was very much satisfied when I solve a problem given in the class and was soon convinced that I can be able to solve the same during the Internship period that was going to start. Soon my confidence had been broken down as the way the business problem been taught in class and the actual one that comes are entirely difference. Let alone how to use SPSS for the problem, I was confused to even understand the problem itself. I took this as a challenge and worked on the same to achieve a project of Market research at the end of the 8 weeks’ internship on Market perception of Four Points by Sheraton (JW Marriot International Group) in Visakhapatnam and presented the same to the top Management who were quite impressed.
Having a challenge or a difficulty and overcoming it is a part and parcel of life. Having the ability of thinking positive in crisis situation helps to overcome any challenge that’s been posed on you by life.
