This is the year 1947, India just became free from the clutches of the British Raj and the Swaraj was a reality now. Like a mouse who nearly escaped death, India too was bleeding. Unemployment was high, Industry in dilapidated state and economy in the doldrums. Before the day comes night and for India, the force that turned these dark nights into good days were business houses such as Aditya Birla Group, Tata etc. Aditya Birla Group which not only helped the Indian National Congress in dealing with Britisher but also helped the marginalised community by indulging activities such as Education, health and infrastructure. From a colony, India became the leading entity in viscose staple fibre, palm oil refinery and lowest first-cost producer in the world. From petroleum to fashion to metals to textile, Aditya Birla group have become a conglomerate whose mere presence is motivating others to start something of their own. A child is born into the family of one such entrepreneur, who looks at Aditya Birla and dreams of starting a business. Soon his dreams become reality and small business in the low-cost textile segment is born. The business keeps on growing and so does the child who was born into that family. A proud father brings home a gift, a cell phone with Idea sim inside. The child now feels close to his parents even when they are far from home. Soon the child is introduced to the world of Internet, from learning how to burn a DVD to playing random games, that Idea sim and the Idea Internet Network have become an integral part of his life. Soon the year 2016 came, the child is now an adult who is patiently waiting for his turn for an interview. But he is not scared, his confidence of months of hard work is further augmented by the sharp design of Louis Philippe and its logo reminding him the road to being a king is not an easy one. The child little does he know about the impact of Aditya Birla Group in his life but always grateful to the embodiment that the group has taken through his life.
Rocky Road called Life
Challenges are a part and parcel of life. I have faced quite a few challenges in life, although being a student most of the challenges are centred around education be it entrance exams or being sick during a paper. But one day, when my father was far away from home because of some business engagement. My mother started having acute stomach pain at 2:00 AM in the night. There were three members in the house at that time. My elder brother, my mother and I. I was 16 years old and my brother was barely 19. We panicked initially but soon sense came floating back to us. We immediately took our mother to the hospital. When we reached the hospital, we found out that in the moment of panic we had forgotten the insurance card at home. So my brother drove home and I was given the task to admit my mother into the hospital and explain the whole scenario to my dad as soon as I get the time. We were in the emergency room and I had no idea about what the procedure was. So, I pinned down the first hospital representative I could find and explained the scenario. They quickly took my mother to the emergency room and did some test while giving her medicine to alleviate the pain. Meanwhile, I was waiting outside explaining everything to my father. Soon, my brother came and we finished the documentation required. In 10 hours, our mother was finally discharged from the hospital and we all went home to catch some sleep.
