Aditya Birla in MY LIFE!
Venturing from agriculture to financial services, to construction, and other sectors, Aditya Birla Group is now one of the largest business conglomerates in India. The group is as diverse as one can imagine, and is present or has contributed to our lives in one way or another. It is highly unlikely that one had never used a product or traveled on a road or visited a site where ABG has not contributed in some way.
So, this is one such story of Aditya Birla Group contributing to my life and making it magnificent. I have joined IIM Raipur on 27 June and to be a member of one such prestigious B-school, it is very important for oneself to maintain the reputation and carry the charming personality with you. And it’s the in-house grown apparel brand Louis Philippe of the Aditya Birla Group that had always helped me to project the best out of me. It adds an icing on the personality that I carry. I have always been a fan of Louis Philippe clothing and I am proud of it, being a part in one of my career’s biggest success. After clearing the cut-off in CAT examination, one has to go through the rigorous process of selection via interview to get admission to a B-School. All this requires to present yourself very professionally in front of the interview panel and display the flavors of your personality. One such flavor of my personality was projected by the Louis Phillippe attire worn by me during the IIM Raipur interview. With the perfect fit and professionally crafted, it brought the best version of me and also procured an inner sense of confidence which advanced me further in my journey to reach the next step of the ladder. I always believed that a part of one’s personality can be projected by how a person carries oneself and what he wears. And Louis Phillippe, being one of the coveted members of Aditya Birla Group has always successfully projected the best of me.
Overcoming Challenges.
Challenges are always unique and they always need a creative solution to break the ceiling and come out of it. “Continuously striving to finish before deadlines and choosing the best rhythm to optimize efficiency”, is one of the vision statements of the Aditya Birla Group. And it is not only the groups I believe; every single person should strive to achieve one’s goal by continuously facing the challenges thrown and tackling it effectively. To help reach the zenith, where it stands today, its thousands and thousands of people behind the brand name of the Aditya Birla Group. These people have truly broken out of their comfort zone to contribute to the success of the business conglomerate.
It's one such challenge, that I have faced in my life and came out of it effectively. This is the story that tells the plot before the interview and the story mentioned above. Clearing the cut-offs of a B-School entrance examination is in itself one mammoth task and I have failed in my previous attempt to clear the cut off for the Common Admission Test (CAT). I had always been bad with reasoning comprehension and it costed me largely in the various B-School examinations last year. I analyzed the area of difficulty and spotted the needle in the haystack. I consistently gave in my effort and read 8-10 articles daily to improve my comprehension and finally able to break the ceiling above me and flagged the success with waving colors.
As aptly quoted by Thomas Edison “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration”. Without hard work and commitment, one cannot achieve success in life. And similarly, its thousands and
thousands of brilliant and creative minds who have been consistent in their effort to make the Aditya Birla Group one of the biggest conglomerates in India.
