Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life?
Basic human needs being food, clothing and shelter, Aditya Birla Group is into all three sectors in terms of Multi-5 & Multi-100 providing wide variety of seafood and vegetables; into clothing by providing top apparel brands namely Peter England, Allen Solly, Louis Phillipe, Pantaloons, Planet Fashion and others; providing the basic bonding element for construction of homes in terms of Ultra Tech cement. Communicating or connecting with people, friends and family has been made so affordable and easy by Idea-Vodafone telecom company. Investing in Aditya Birla Capital has helped me grow my money through various mutual funds.
A car is nothing without its tyres! Birla Carbon serves an important role by supplying carbon required for manufacturing of the tyres. No one knows the importance of an Insulator better than an Electrical Engineer. Transmission of Electricity from substation to homes would be impossible without the same and ABG plays a huge role in the manufacturing of the Insulators.
How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life?
I graduated in 2015, as an Electrical and Electronics engineer and was recruited by Vedanta Ltd | Sesa Goa Iron Ore. Being a part of River Fleet and Shipping, my first task was to work in deep sea handling transhipment operations. This work involved handling a team of 45 workmen of varied age demographic. Along with understanding & learning the operations and functioning of the transhipment, being a
team player and a
team leader was the need of the hour. I had to get acclimatised to all these three aspects within a span of one month for being successful in my role as a Shift Engineer.
After working for nearly 3 years in River Fleet and Shipping division, I was transferred to Pig Iron Division of Vedanta Value Added Business, Amona. The work environment was completely different and yet again I had to work with a team having a mix of unionised and contract workmen. This job role required
prompt action and
dynamic decision making abilites to prevent breakdowns of the operations. I learnt that even though every job requires different approach towards
problem solving, with some
patience, a lot of
confidence,
determination and
curiosity for learning,
things do work out!!
While handling a 12hours shift a day, I also had a dream of pursuing my MBA in a Top B school. I knew it would be quite difficult to manage both the Job as well as my studies for Entrance exams. Here,
time management played an important role. I had to for-go some of my leisure time to get to where I am now.
