Just name the Industry and Aditya Birla Group (ABG) exists there. Whether it be asset management, branded apparels, finance, healthcare, IT Services, infrastructure, insurance, telecom or be it any field, this Indian brand has achieved milestones. Spanning in 34 countries, it has set up a benchmark worldwide. As many others, even I am a big fan of this Group and owe a much deserved gratitude to it. Let’s take a look at few of its brands out of which many have touched my life closely and their tagline says it all:
Van Heusen, known for its corporate clothing and fashionable cuts, can’t forget my days back in Infosys where I always used to wear a Van Heusen blazer for my meetings. Peter England - “
Beginning of good things”. I know it would be ironic to say, I appeared for my IIM Nagpur interview wearing shirt from Peter England brand and now I wholeheartedly support their tagline.
Like most of the Indians, even my Mom enjoyed Wednesday sale of Big Bazaar because “
Isse sasta aur acha kahin nahi”. And also my Mom’s love packed with FreshWrap, only to be shared with my friends in school recesses.
Ultra Tech Cement: My house was built using this cement, as my father trusts the ABG and it still stands tall and looks beautiful thereby proving its tagline “
the Engineer’s Choice”
Birla Sun Life Insurance -”
Your Dreams, Our Commitment”. It has instilled in me a sense of security. And Vodafone-Idea network connection has always connected me to my loved ones.
Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital-“
Hope to heal the health with happiness”. Everyone has heard how magical the ABG medical treatment is, especially for the cancer patients, it’s the number one: owing to its extraordinary medical capabilities and technological advancements, their motto is to give the best service by keeping the cost intact and has helped in saving millions of life till now.
A big thank you to you ABG, from me and all the people whom you have served and desire to serve. There’s nothing bigger than giving back “the gift of life”.
Not only me but anybody would want to be a part of such an organization which is trying to take care of the people in every field in best possible way since 1857!
My Ambitions and Challenges
Challenges are something experienced by each one of us but we all don’t necessarily face the same set of them. These challenges introduce us to our character; they test our patience and try to bring in the right attitude within us. If we tackle the challenges of life we win, if not, we learn but we never ‘FAIL’.
Something similar happened with me last year, when I decided to go for higher education. As my interest was towards management, I decided to take CAT exam. But I realized this in August and the exam was in November. So, the main challenge was to make out time from the busy IT job and prepare for the exam in stipulated time. As I was working on live project which demanded 10-12hrs of work, it was quite hectic to cope up with the preparations but one thing that kept me going was the determination to achieve my dream.
I started following a disciplined life from then, because discipline is the only tool which forges success. Throughout the preparation period I faced many ups and downs where at a certain point it was difficult to manage work and studies. But, my self-belief and strong urge to succeed backed me up every time. And finally, the struggle bore fruits and here I am at one of the top B-Schools of India i.e. IIM-Nagpur. The journey was tough but the result squared it all. So, one must keep on following dreams and never lose hope, because “
Victories are achieved by those who believe in winning”.
