Aditya Birla Group was founded in 1857. For over 160 years, the conglomerate has incorporated itself into our lives. Aditya Birla Group is omniscient in the country. From Textile to Cement, Fashion to Telecom, Finance to Agribusiness, they have left their mark everywhere. From instilling confidence in people when they are looking for a shirt, to helping people connect to their loved ones via Vodafone-Idea Limited, from helping people looking for an insurance to playing a major role in the construction industry, Aditya Birla Group has become an integral part of our lives. Not just its presence and scale of operation, but the corporate social responsibility initiatives show the values of the company and its commitment towards giving back to the society. They aim to build a sustainable and secure future for weaker sections.
Aditya Birla group is spread across thirty-four countries and has ventured into more than twelve verticals. Aditya Birla Group is renowned all across the world and known especially for its supreme quality goods and services. This brings a sense of pride to the entire nation and I could easily say that Aditya Birla Group has been there, directly or indirectly, in the slightest as well as the biggest achievements of my life. The role it has played is immense.
One of the major problems that I have faced in my life was when I started my graduation. I have always been a bright student, securing relatively good marks and always trying to do my best. However, as soon as I entered an engineering college, I became very relaxed and started taking my studies for granted. I became negligent and as a result, my grades took a hit. I had to sit for three supplementary examinations in the first semester itself, which I was able to clear but my grades, knowledge base and self-esteem were seriously dented.
I slowly realised that I was in the state of inertia. Once I had fallen into this pit, it became more and more difficult for me to get out. My self-confidence had taken a fall, too. It took me another complete year to get back on track. I put all my efforts in and studied relentlessly. I wanted to make sure I could meet the minimum criteria to sit in the placement process, which I was able to do by the time seventh semester ended.
I still do not have enough marks to show for my efforts, but I have surely understood that sincerity and persistence is always required for growth, which is something Aditya Birla Group demonstrates perfectly in the real world. In the end, I got on-campus placement in a wonderful company, where I learned all I could and had the time of my life. For someone who had done well in the academics for the first fourteen years of student life, it was difficult to get used to being a poor student and then again becoming a good student. I got to know that only when one accepts, one can ameliorate. I had poor marks, little knowledge, low self-confidence, what helped me crack the interview – being properly groomed, thanks to Aditya Birla Group.
