Aditya Birla, has unknowingly, played a crucial role in my life. It has made its presence felt in every aspect of my daily routine. Starting right from clothing, Aditya Birla’s clothing division (Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail) has some of the most popular brands like Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Forever 21 and Pantaloons to name a few. Hindalco Limited, the metals flagship company of ABG, supplies aluminum that is used to make the tempered class for the smartphones that we use. Moreover, the aluminum manufactured by Novelis Inc. is used as a raw material for making cans of our all-time favorite soft drinks. Ultratech Cement has contributed its product into the construction of the Bandra Worli sea link which has made travel to and fro South Mumbai convenient. Aditya Birla has also ensured safety of road travel by supplying carbon black, a product of Birla Carbon, that has nano particles that make tyres safer and stronger. Aditya Birla Capital provides one stop financial solutions ranging from housing loans, insurance to wealth management. Last but not the least, Aditya Birla Group plays an important role in connecting me to my dear ones and in enabling never ending conversations by providing uninterrupted telecommunication services in the form of Vodafone Idea Limited. They have made sure that people stay connected despite having miles of physical distance. These brands and companies have been playing their role ever since they have come into existence. Covering almost every small aspect in my daily routine, Aditya Birla Group is indeed a “Big” part of my life.
We do not grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges. Being a finance enthusiast, I was determined to take up a financial market specialization for my graduation post my HSC board examinations. The eligibility criteria for the course was straightforward- higher the percentage, better the chances of securing admission. Unfortunately, during my board exams, I fell sick. I was diagnosed with a severe case of PCOD and high fever. Due to the terrible pain, it became very difficult for me to concentrate on my examinations. The fear of not getting adequate marks to secure admission in the course that I wanted started to occupy my mind. It was then that my mother helped me divert my attention from the severe pain and helped me increase my concentration on studies. Initially, a few papers didn’t really go well due to the lack of preparation. However, I did not lose hope and continued my preparation of the remaining exams. Post my exams, I was determined to improve my physical health for which I started exercising and yoga. On the day of my results, I was more than delighted to see my hard work pay off as I was able to secure a good percentage despite my health issues. Although it was not easy for me to secure my admission in the course that I wanted, this incident made me understand the importance of physical well-being and perseverance.
