Why is Aditya Birla Group big in your life?
'Aditya Birla Group' does not need any introduction. It was founded long before Independence in 1857 to be precise. It is an Indian multinational conglomerate, headquartered in Mumbai, India and operating in more than 30 countries in the world.
Throughout this journey of my life, Aditya Birla Group had a high impact on my life. Be it buying a suit for my sister's wedding from ‘Van Heusen’ or any regular shopping from ‘Pantaloons,’ Aditya Birla Group has always come to rescue. While constructing our new house, ’Ultratech Cement’ was s the only choice,because we all know that every Engineer’s first choice is an Ultratech Cement. Also, How can I forget that homely fresh food wrapped in ‘Hindalco Freshwrap’ during my train journeys! Ranging from Cement to Fashion, from Financial to Telecom services, ‘Aditya Birla Group’ has made sure to make their presence felt in every Indian household. There is some personal connection that ABG has. While recollecting some childhood memories, I remember when I used to go to my farm with my father. We had an ‘Aamrai,’ and I loved to eat mangoes from there. The product which helped those mango trees to frow and flourish was none other than ‘Birla Fertiliser’. I would like to appreciate Aditya Birla Group for offering us with these sweet memories through all of their products. This journey is undoubtedly long, neverending, and full of such pleasant moments.
How you overcome challenges to achieve in life so far?
Imagine a child who wants to open its wings and fly high to food its curiosity, but bound by its inner demons. I was that child. Father suffering from incurable Parkinson’s disease, and hence the life of the whole family centered around him and on top of that financial challenges. As a child, I was always fearful, trying to hide from the world, carrying the burden of insecurities. I did not want to give any additional trouble to my family, so I created my bubble and lived in that for more than ten years. Indeed this affected my mental health. I had severe anxiety issues.
Coming out of that shell, regain my confidence, and establish me as an individual was my biggest challenge. When I decided to take medical help at the age of 18, it was a tough moment for me mainly because of the stigma attached to the subject, and also it's courageous to let anything control your brain. So I decided to go with homeopathy, and yes, it helped me. I started looking at life from a different perspective. I realized how everyone is going through one or other kind of mental health-related issue. From that moment, I decided to help society in whatever capacity I could to spread the smile on each of their faces. I started following Mental Health care organizations like’ Smile Foundation,’ ‘The Live Love Laugh Foundation.’ Then, I started volunteering for an organization which works to spread the smile, and this work and relationship will be forever just like the one with ABG.
