It was in the year 2012 after I completed my schooling, my dad brought me a new phone, it was my first mobile phone and I was looking for the best network in my hometown- Chennai. The best idea I got my friends are “IDEA”- a subsidiary company of Aditya Birla’s Group, I have been associated with the IDEA network for more than 7 years and the impact it makes in my life is enormous. After the 4G revolution, I was getting a lot of data in GBs at low cost which enabled me to do a lot of research during my college days and helped me in preparing CAT and enabled me to be a part of the most prestigious college of India – IIM.
After getting admission to IIM’s I had a very short time to report there about 4 days and at that time Aditya Birla’s Group came as a rescue in its subsidiary form “PETER ENGLAND” where I got all coat and got a discount of 50 % which made me even happier.

Tell us, in at least 250 words, how you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far.
Since I am the youngest kid in my family, from my childhood I am not challenged by many difficulties. My roles and responsibilities in my family were very limited and my father would use to take most of the responsibilities and it was in the year 2016 after my father’s sudden dismissal hit me hard, this happened during my 7th semester and I flunked in my last exam and got my first arrear.
Before that, I was placed in a product company from campus and had the highest package in my department but because of my arrear my offer got rejected and I was totally devastated at that time. It was on August I got my degree and within 2 weeks of my result, I got a job. I was more desperate about the job because we needed money at that time since we planned my sister wedding in 2017 and due to a dispute in my intimate family I didn’t get much support from my family. It was me and my mom who made all the arrangements from A to Z for the marriage.
Due to my family issues, we took this marriage as a prestige issue and made a grand wedding. It was a milestone for me because even now some relatives refer to my sister’s marriage to others. I always had a vision for higher studies; I wrote CAT 2018 and converted IIM Raipur, I was very happy that i converted IIM in my very first attempt and I feel immensely proud to reach where I’m today and still have a long way to go.
