My relationship with Aditya Birla group started at a very young age, when my parents used to take me to Birla Mandir and Planetarium in Hyderabad. I thought Birla was the name of some scientist when I first visited it, later on, I realized that the group is the one, which ignites the inspiration in youth to take the career he/ one chooses. The Birla mandir is also the place built with 2000 tonnes of Marble, one would find one's inner peace in the place. Right from that point, I keep on hearing the name ' Aditya Birla Group' in each and every point of my life, like in career, one would aspire to join BITs for graduation and then dream to join ABG to build a career path.
I started working in some IT firm after my graduation and being a limited risk taker, I wanted to invest my money in SIP or normal MF rather than conventional Fixed Deposits. I went through my portals looking for the company which I could rely on. I spoke to people who are already into this. The most common suggestion I got was My Universe. I chose the same, The wealth manager I got was more like a father or big brother who guided me through all my investments and also provided services in a very satisfying way. The giant conglomerate not only nurtured the young talent in India, but also provided the best career opportunities for the youth. The group has a bigger market share in the country in all the fields it has entered, being it a textile retail store or capital, telecom, infrastructure. It has taken India a step forward in contributing the considerable amount in GDP. With its great success, the group stood as a dream company for one and all among young talents.
During my schooling, I wasn't a self-motivated boy, I took mathematics, because my friends took. I was like this until my graduation. just like so many people I joined IT firm after completing graduation, The initial days were more like a relaxed way, felt like my career is settled. I was a bit too lazy and struck in a same place for 2 years from 9-5; I learnt introspecting from my friend, my wealth manager of Aditya Birla group, who used to call me one in a while to discuss about the funds performance and a change, if needed. When I checked about my career, I found it to be non-performing. I dreamed of becoming a financial analyst, started focusing my career towards achieving the goal. For the same, I joined MBA. Thanks to the confidence and goal that ABG has set upon me, I am working with the extended efforts to reach my goal.
Life at IIM Raipur is no simple, The rigor in academics, guidance of seniors, experience through various club and committees activities, and many more things to mark an impression, participating in various competitions, certifications, projects, everything takes us a step nearer to our goal. I keep introspecting the change in me and I am sure that I wasn't like the one few months back. I am pretty sure of my destination, but its the life at IIM Raipur, that was making my journey memorable.
Thanks,
Shashank Keshavadasu.
