You want to build a home: Ultratech. You want to buy a formal dress for a business meeting: Allen
Solly. You want fresh fruits: MULTI-5. Aditya Birla has been each and every aspect of our life. With its presence across 14 industries, it's not just a brand, its an identity.
Belonging from a village in the Bihar, I believe I was either destined to be an IAS officer or a farmer. But I had other plans. I became what might seem to most a cliche, engineer, but it was a moment of pride for my whole family. I worked with the topmost IT firm or three years. I seemed to become complacent and my parents wondered if I should now get 'settled'. But again, I had other plans. I came to IIM, Rohtak.
I love to break stereotypes. I love to leave my mark. I had multiple pitfalls, like many others. I had smallpox right before my 3rd semester of engineering. I scored 7.96 (my highest till then). I again fell sick, to dengue, right before 5th-semester exams. Just one day before Yash Chopra died of dengue. I had to miss 3 out of 6 papers. I scored 8. I was told due to my absence in three papers, I am ineligible for placements. Hurt, I wasn't the man who knew to bend down. I took a project at CMERI and did research for DST. I published an international paper. I entered and won 16th position worldwide in SAE-NASA Collegiate Design Series. By Feb, results of papers I had missed came and I was now eligible luckily for placements. I did what no one had done by far now in my college. I got first placed in TCS. Then I went to grab another placement with Caterpillar, which hadn't picked anyone from my college in last 7 years.
I can tell you, with sheer determination, you can literally tear apart anything in your life. With this confidence in my heart, I am a warrior for sure, if not achiever.
