In India, Aditya Birla leads the fashion industry in the branded apparel sector. I personally use Van Heusen, Allen Solly and Peter England shirts on a daily basis. Aditya Birla fashion and retail has multiple subsidiaries under it comprising of Pantaloons which is my go to brand for all my shopping needs.
I use the Vodafone sim card for calls and the data pack to browse the internet. These activities are possible thanks to the Aditya Birla group thanks to the controlling stake that they have in Vodafone India.
Aditya Birla Life insurance is a leading player in the life insurance and asset management sector. Since the time I started earning, I have begun diversifying my investment portfolio into stocks and mutual funds through Aditya Birla asset management. This will no doubt help me multiply my wealth in the long run. Lastly, I am a big fan of road trips and the Mumbai to goa route is the my favourite. Aditya Birla is a big player in the cement and concrete sector making it possible for me to enjoy these trips.
PART B- OVERCOMING MY WEAKNESSES
According to me, when you know that you possess a weakness which is negatively affecting your life, you must look for ways and means for improvement of those skills that you lack. My greatest weakness would be a lack of organization in my activities. In my opinion, an unorganized nature can set you back several paces and I consider it absolutely essential for a fulfilling and successful life.
A lack of organization goes hand in hand with ineffective time management. In my college, there were some delays in submission of my assignments because I used to work on them just a few days before the deadline. These occurrences induced a lot of stress which indirectly affected my other commitments. In addition to my curricular activities, I was involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities including working for non-profit organizations and internships. At this time, I decided to prioritize and finish the most important activities in the beginning leaving out time for the remaining activities. After having started working in the organization, I began appreciating the importance of having schedule trackers and calendar blocks. In fact, I made a detailed timetable of my work activities jotting down the work needed to be done day by day. Further, I assigned priorities and deadlines to my activities. Thanks to this tracking, I was able to plan out my leisure time and assign time to my hobbies such as scuba diving and sports.
Over the years I have come to realize that being organized also helps you maintain yourself in good health and wakeup with renewed energy. Further, it reduces frustration and anxiety and boosts your self-confidence. I am glad to say that I have taken the steps to enhance this skill and I hope to make it an integral part of my life. It has helped me in becoming the International Service Director of an organization and in being a part of an esteemed institution for management education.
