My World,My Way-Living the tagline of Aditya Birla Group

Why Aditya Birla Group is big in your life

MY WORLD, MY WAY- this is how precisely the tagline of Aditya Birla group goes well with the lives of many people with whom it gets associated every other minute. One of those people has been me. First of all it is Ultratech cement that has given a sense of contentment to all the people who went on to build their home of dreams. It is the number 1 cement brand in India which enjoys its customer loyalty base and is popular for its brand equity. People have faith in the product and it is considered as building material destination for not just home buyers but also for commercial buildings because of the quality of the product it delivers. I also have my house built from Ultratech cement. That is how the first round of faith on this group was built. IDEA-it is the third largest cellular network in terms of consumer base. This shows how many Indian customers have trust in its service. I had gone to Ahmedabad for a training session for my company. It was a 3-month training.  I could not talk at home because of the poor connectivity issues with the other networks. There, IDEA came to my rescue. I got one connection of IDEA and “what an idea, sirji” it was. I could talk to my family and friends after that.  Aditya Birla’s fashion brands include Allen Solly, Van Heusen, and Pantaloons. A B-school student needs to be well-dressed and for some occasions, formal suits are required. Everyone suggested me to go for Van Heusen and Allen Solly. The quality of the formal wear was upto-the-mark and moreover it was well in my budget. Freshwrapp has been keeping my lunch fresh for the longest time. It has been every mother’s friend when it comes to keeping the lunch of their kids fresh and hot. This is how Aditya Birla group is there in the lives of mine and yours like an atom in the molecule. This is how the group is big in my life.

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer-Albert Camus. I had winters when it came to socializing with people and putting forth my viewpoints in front of them. I had always been an introvert and could not express my perspective in any situation. Due to this I faced a lot of problems since I would not get platforms to channelize and showcase my core strengths and talents. When I was in school, I would only confine myself to studies and could not participate much in extra-curricular activities as I was shy of public speaking and would get jitters whenever I was on the stage. People would not heed me whenever I had to participate in skits and class activities. In my under-graduation too I had to face challenges because of my introvert nature. This creates problems when one has to work in teams and express and convey ideas and communicate freely. I knew I had to come out my inhibitions. I had always wanted to do MBA in HR and it is very important for an HR to be good and assertive at communication as he is the bridge between the employer and the employees. HRs must have good presentation skills and should be able to put forward their points in the presentations. I had to prepare for B-school interviews and GDs to be able to get selected in a reputed institute. For this, I firstly stopped labeling myself an introvert. The more I confined myself into the ‘introvert’ bubble, the more I would not be able to come out of my inhibitions. When I joined guitar classes, I could relate my common interests with people with whom I could share thoughts and interests. This was the first step towards me getting out of my comfort zone. I would focus on my active listening skills and pushed myself to network with people as this was all that is required in MBA and professional life. Building inter-personal relationships was one of the areas I started off to be good at communication. I built upon my balanced and composed attitude soft-skills which greatly helped me socialize with people. When I started working in an IT firm, I took the responsibility to represent my team in the client meetings. This not only helped me build my soft-skills but also helped me being an ambivert. Applying Dale Carnegie’s methods of how to win friends in real life (which says when we listen carefully to what others are saying, and genuinely show interest in them, people will find us to be sociable and interesting as well), I would gel with people around me well. With all this, I gained self-confidence and could perform well in GD-PI process and got selected in XAHR. This is how I could come out of my shell and achieve my ambition of being in a reputed B-school. #ABGLP #ABG WOO ME-SEASON 2 #ABGLP WOO ME COMPETITION #ABGLP WOO ME SEASON 2-XIMB XAHR #XIMB-XAHR
