Aditya Birla Group is known for its vast variety of brands and name in the market. It impacts us daily and here is how its impacts me. Being a shopaholic, I am always on the lookout for the trendiest fashion stores, and here comes the Aditya Birla Group with its leading brands and impeccable quality standards. Be it buying a dress for a party from Forever 21 or business formals from Allen Solly or Van Heusen, Aditya Birla Group certainly plays a major role in forming my wardrobe and that is just one of its impacts of in my life. Be it banking, financial services, fashion or even the Birla Mandir that I visit once a month, Aditya Birla Group has touched my life in numerous ways. A company’s objective is not just to make profit but to also make society a better place. Aditya Birla Group does just that as it actively contributes to social and economic development while raising the country’s human development index. The zeal with which it has taken its corporate social responsibility is commendable. Be it working with villages, building hospitals, schools, training workers, fighting against polio, you name it and Aditya Birla group has done it. I have been following their CSR activities and it truly inspires me to give back to the society. It leaves me with a feeling that this is our own society and if we don’t take the initiative ourselves to make the world a better place nobody else would.
Life is full of challenges and how we choose to react is what makes us who we are. Challenges in life never end though, be it big or small they keep coming one after another and from what I have learned so far, it is best to face them head on. My current biggest challenge is adjusting to the MBA lifestyle. Being born and brought up in Delhi, I have never lived in a hostel and leaving everything behind and coming to a new city with so many unknowns, I had a feeling that a lot could go wrong. But sometimes all you can do is hope for the best and believe in yourself and that’s exactly what I did. It was one hell of a journey, transitioning from my comfortable life in Delhi to the extremely involving MBA hostel life. I did struggle with a lot a things and I still am with some but I am proud that I had enough courage to move out of my comfort zone and push my limits. Everyday I learn something new, everyday I deal with a new problem and at the end of everyday, I find myself getting better at dealing with them. It is important to always have a positive outlook and just deal with the problems with a calm mind because after all these challenges only help us in shaping up our personality and build our traits. Ultimately all of us are trying to be the best version of ourselves which can only be done if we push ourselves beyond our limits, break those limits and create new ones.
