Aditya Birla Group - Creating Values, IIM RaipurII

Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life

I believe that the success of a business is often measured in terms of its revenues and profits but the success of a successful business group is achieved through its contribution to society and its employees. A world-leading conglomerate and sector leaders in representing industries, the journey of Aditya Birla Group has been one of ‘growth’ and continued ‘leadership’. They have expanded their business divisions and across the globe, but most importantly they pride their business on responsible business practices. The Aditya Birla Group transcends conventional barriers of business because they care deeply about their community and believe it is their duty to facilitate inclusive growth. Their work in the community focuses on health-care, education, the girl child, sustainable livelihood, women empowerment projects, infrastructure and espousing social reform. They endeavour to become the leading Indian conglomerate for sustainable business practices across its global operations. They have correctly identified that only a Sustainable Business, one that can continue to operate within the tightening constraints of a future Sustainable World will be able to grow and thus, made it their focus to build sustainable business models with their vision. They have even developed a Sustainable Business Framework to improve business management systems across value chains that gives an insight into the process that undergoes to develop and implement a group-wide sustainable strategy. With their extraordinary vision and mission, they have become a premium global conglomerate and deliver superior value to all its stakeholders at large. They are in the league of Fortune 500 and a global powerhouse in a wide range of sectors.

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges” I believe that challenges are opportunities in life that help us grow and develop ourselves. Everyone gets many such opportunities to learn from and transform into a better version of themselves. There may come many hurdles in life before we can achieve our ambitions but these are just steps that we must embrace to move forward. Each person is different and they handle the challenges in their own unique way. The way one thinks about the situation and our perspective makes all the difference. Thus it becomes important that we remain positive, calm and patient. Also one should not make comparisons but instead take inspiration from others if need be. Whenever I face any challenge, I see it as an opportunity to make myself stronger. It is important to know yourself and calmly understand the situation. I focus on my goal and strive to get the best possible result under the circumstances. It is immensely important to stay positive and not succumb to the pressure. Once that situation is over, I come back to introspect and go through my decisions to understand what could have been done differently and what was done right. Each challenge teaches us something, imparts a skill in us and has a part to play in making us who we are. If we do take the learning from a challenge then we fail to grow from that situation. #IIMRaipur #ABGLP #ABGLPWooMe #ABGLPWooMe-Season2
