(A) Why Aditya Birla Group Is Big In Your Life
A 12-year-old girl is holding her mother’s hands and feels like she is in wonderland. This is the feeling I got when my mother took me to Pantaloons for the first time. It was the first time I had seen such a huge collection of all types of clothes in a single platform. There was no looking back after that. Whether it’s a wedding function or a birthday party, Pantaloons with its plethora of brands has always been my favourite spot all throughout my teenage life. It was also a place where my mother and I got to spend quality time together and bond with each other. When the college time came, my usual shopping spots changed to Allen Solly and Van Heusen and these two brands remained with me till the time I joined Tata Consultancy services. I worked as an SAP Basis Consultant in Birla Carbon, which exposed me to the professional and efficient culture of the Aditya Birla Group. The learning from their work-ethics is something I’ll always try to apply in future. Aditya Birla Group has always had a huge impact in our lives not only through the retail sector but also through the manufacturing sector which indirectly affects our life in many ways. Wearing an Allen Solly formal attire makes me feel confident and ready to take on challenges.

How Have You Made An Impact
When I was in school, I was an extremely shy kid. Simple tasks like giving orders to the waiter were a daunting task for me. Getting on stage made me jittery and nervous. The first year of my college was overwhelmingly difficult for me because it was the first time I had been exposed to so many activities and interactions with people. Looking at people around me who were participating so actively and exuded a lot of confidence gave me inspiration to get out of my comfort zone. So, I started by participating in events like stage play to get rid of my stage fear. In one of those competitions, I froze due to nervousness and the audience burst out in laughter. This incident had really hurt my self-esteem and I felt depressed for many days. But I decided to let go of my inhibitions and keep trying. I eventually went on to win first prize in many stage play and street play competitions. The fear of getting on stage got replaced by a welcome feeling of adrenaline rush. This gave me further confidence to take initiatives. I subsequently co-founded the IEEE Student Branch in my college led my college to be in the top two branches in Gujarat. This struggle taught me how anyone can achieve whatever they want if they just keep on trying without the fear of getting judged. This also taught me how failure is a part of life and we should take the lessons from the failure in our stride and keep working for a better future.
