RISE ABOVE THE STORM AND YOU WILL FIND SUNSHINE
I don't know whether this quote suits my life till now or not, but one day it will surely suit me.
Belonging from a rural background and an impoverished family where we used to live six people in a single room under a metal roof, and clay walls made up of clay and cattle dung. I lived there for almost 16 years, and there were many problems in that house like weekly renovation for walls, sometimes the soil is everywhere in the house due to vibration. It was very hectic, so my father decided to have walls with cement and here the story began with THE ADITYA BIRLA GROUP, where my father bought the Ultratech cement with the logo of Aditya Birla group and made our walls stronger. At that time the permanent image was captured in my mind of Aditya Birla Group.
The same incident happened when we bought our first mobile phone, we were too late to buy a mobile phone because of financial conditions, but we bought one, and for network everyone suggested us for idea, I didn’t know why everyone has so much trust in Idea when there are other networks also available in market, we also asked the suggestion of shopkeeper which network should we buy, he also suggested Idea, then we bought one Idea sim card, I took in hands, and then I saw the picture of the Aditya Birla Group and that past image reflected in my mind and the trust factor was built in my mind about the Aditya Birla group, and like mine it has influenced many poor families around the globe and it has shown time by time why so many people have such a massive trust in this brand.
I was unaware of the impact of ABG has in my life, but going back through my life, I remembered these incidences and lost in thoughts. Starting from 1857, ABG has provided customer satisfaction through all the aspects of life. ABG emerged as a multinational company when Indians were just waked up from the dream of independence. Working around 40 countries with excellent efficiency and with a revenue of more than USD 44 Billion makes all Indians very proud
Our values provide us with our roots, and they provide us with our wings-
Mr. Kumar Mangalm Birla,
Chairman, AB group
The company which has so much importance for its values will be a great place if I ever get a chance to work in it, and I am sure that one day I will work in it, this confidence has built in me because of the circumstances I have crossed so far, like struggling for 2 times food, months of waiting to get small things like notebook, book, and clothes, I still remember the day when I had no money to take admission into a good engineering college, so I chose the government college which has fewer fees, those days to get into IIM Nagpur, journey has many ups and downs, to overcome all the circumstances my family has provided me a really great motivation and support. I have gone through the worst days I could ever be, and the time is changing now for me, for my family, but besides that I want to work for the society, for the ones who have dream in their mind but can't fulfill it, I think everyone has a right to have a dream, just a need of a guiding and a supporting hand. My family has provided me as many facilities as they can by sacrificing their desire and the time has arrived when I must fulfill all their dreams, to work for society, and I hope ABG will help me to get this dream come true.
