Part A : Why Aditya Birla Group is big in your life
It was January 2015, and I had just started my first job after completing engineering. At the end of the first month, I was elated when my account got credited with salary. Since it was my first pay, I decided to gift some presents to my family, and hence took them out for shopping. “Pantaloons” has a very big store near to our house in Delhi. Since it is a brand, we all trust upon, we chose to visit the store. We could get affordable, high quality apparel for the whole family under one roof. I could see my parents grinning and that made me content. Since then, I have sworn by this brand and another offering by the name of “Planet Fashion”. I have never been disappointed by their service in terms of customer delight or products.
This is just one of the ways Aditya Birla Group has made their presence known in my life. The company has got so much to offer, that it has rightfully taken India to the world with penetrating in most of the business sectors.
Having shifted houses twice and being involved in renovation work, I have never seen my father using any other brand other than UltraTech cements. He would ensure we always use the highest graded material. I don’t know what else could show the trust shown by a customer in any brand.
It was in college that I was gifted my first ever mobile phone by my father. I am very content that I chose to with Idea as my telecom network operator then, since I never had to look elsewhere. I have shifted cities in between, but there was no trouble faced in terms of service or network.
ABG Group is not only delivering value to its customers but is also impacting and shaping up the social sector. Through its Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, they have focused on key areas of Healthcare, Education, and Infrastructure. Being a part of the greater cause is one of the ways ABG group has made a mark and created a customer base which is going to stay with them for a very long time.
Part B : Challenges I Overcame to Achieve my Ambition in Life
It was after I completed my bachelor’s in engineering, that I started working in an IT firm. It was my decision to gather some relevant experience in the corporate world before jumping to my ambition of going in a reputed B School. I always had that desire of being a skilled manager who would contribute to the growth of their organization. So, after working for a while, I decided to appear for the entrance examinations for pursuing MBA. This seemed like a daunting challenge, since my work schedule was quite hectic along with 4 hours of to and fro travel to my workplace. The commute would drain out my energy by the time I reached home. However, I was determined to overcome this and get the admission in my first attempt. For this, I decided to utilize my commute time to study. I went for online applications and content to prepare for the CAT. I devoted my whole weekends to prepare for the exam by cutting down my leisure time. It was my ambition to overcome these hurdles and not sulk about them which helped me in achieving the feat of getting into the reputed IIM Raipur. I could score well in the exam and do good throughout the admission process, just because I did not want to relax in my comfort zone but chose to come out of it. I can only that all the issues are created by our mind, and only we have the power to break them. Like they say, ‘Just keep swimming and you shall reach your destination.’
