There are very few companies that cater to millions around the world. Aditya Birla Group has always delivered superior value to millions of customers like me, shareholders, employees and society at large. With its presence in various countries and many sectors of business, ABG is making a difference in people’s lives. As a common man I have come across and used telecom, branded apparels, financial services provided by ABG.
I still remember those days during my childhood where my father had brought Ultratech cement when we were building our own house at my native place. I have also seen my grandfather using fertilizers in his farm. Major construction projects in India have been using Ultratech cement for many years and continues to do so. Coming to the branded apparels, I still wonder how ABG has partnered with major apparel brands like Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Peter England etc. to increase its product portfolio. I feel these brands makes me look dapper for all occasions and I always look for these brands while shopping.
Vodafone Idea Limited service provider has been one of the leading telecom service providers in India. After using many other service providers, I transferred my number to avail Vodafone services last year. I made this decision after hearing many positive feedbacks from my friends and family and I have not regretted the move.
Sometimes we may not recognize the presence of certain things in our life. ABG for me has been one such entity. I strongly feel that ABG exemplifies quality, performance, perfection and above all adding value to people.
Everyone comes across situations in life where the challenges in front of us are hard to overcome. Now I could think about the challenges I faced at work or at my school. The first thing that comes to mind is me being put at a boarding school at the age of 9. It was very hard for me as I was studying 3
rd standard at a boarding school far away from my home town. I did not have the liberty of being pampered by parents during childhood and I believe I learnt to take care of myself from a very young age. During my Engineering, I faced many challenges during my first year. I was not able to study properly and then I realized that I had to do something. The key learning for me was, putting in the extra effort during setbacks will always help one overcome the hurdle in front of them. I worked in IT industry for two years and I had to constantly learn and unlearn new technologies. It took me almost a year to get used to the work culture. Gradually I realized that the support role which I was taking up in my project was not something that I wished to do. There were days when I had loads of work piled up in my table. I was working in night shifts and I had to take certain decisions when I had to interact with clients onshore. I was in uncomfortable situations, but I feel that being in a comfortable space every time will not help you grow. I overcame those challenges and I feel that succumbing to or overcoming the challenge in front of you is secondary but standing up and facing the challenge is important.
