Infrastructure is an enabler for growth and witnessing the transformation of Ahmedabad for 9 long years, made me believe that UltraTech Cement holds a huge role in all the ways we have grown as India. From renovation of my home as well as surrounding, to construction of BRTS and Metro Stations, UltraTech Cement has always been a foundation.
Proudly saying, the rich grey blazer stitched out of Grasim's fabric has by far turned out to be the luckiest out of my four suits. Memories of getting admission into a B-school, clearing an internship interview at world's largest E-commerce player, and winning a national level competition at JBIMS are associated with it. These are one of the biggest events in my life and ABG is part of it in some way.
Summers, Winters or Spring, Birthdays or anniversaries, Allen Solly has always been my first preference for me and my folks. Great deal of awesome quality at reasonable prices is what I personally love about it.
Falling out of words, I will end this here expressing my gratitude and conveying my warm wishes to ABG for their enormous success.
Obstacles will always pop up in life at any point in time. But what matters is how you overcome the obstacles to achieve what you want to without getting flabbergasted. “What lies behind us and what lies before us are very tiny compared to what lies within us” is a life changing quote I came across in my eleventh grade. It along with the guidance from my spiritual guru and my parents has reinforced me in every phase of my life.
I am Jain by birth, so I haven’t even tasted most of the underground vegetables. Also I am a teetotaller. This fact shocked many of my friends in school, college and even at my workplace. Many mocked at me because of that and social and peer pressure started building up. But without yielding in to the pressure, I made it my identity, took pride in it and logically convinced them. This altogether infused in me the great level of confidence and courage to face social pressure and believe in oneself.
One thing that created a barrier till some point in my life was my introvertedness. I kept myself reserved and lacked confidence. I had tried hard but was not able to overcome it until I became determined to face it. I started participating in competitions in school. My first gold medal for Hindi recitation in 8th grade helped me gather confidence, mingle with people and open up. This further helped me work with different people in different teams and I started enjoying it. I have been part of college team for national level competitions like SAE BAJA & won prizes worth 3 Lakhs, won first prize in Major project, made it to final 10 in National Engineering Challenge, and much more could be achieved just because I decided to face things with the best spirit and open up myself.
