ABG- The one who has made its presence in lives of millions.
After I started treading on the path of Business management, I looked up for inspiration. And there is no better source of inspiration and courage than the one who made our country proud internationally. Mere five years before his father’s death in 1995, Kumar Mangalam had begun getting involved in the company’s operations. In 1996 Kumar Mangalam had begun consolidated all group companies under the umbrella of the Aditya Birla Group. Under Kumar Mangalam Birla, the conglomerate entered the businesses of copper, insurance, telecommunications, retail and software services. And now ABG has contributed so much in so many diverse ways, that it has touched almost everyone’s lives in this country. From clothing to FMCG oil and gas, ABG is everywhere. ABG has made sure it takes care of the needs of different income groups as well. ABG stretches across 14 industries, traversing around 35 countries and has stamped its authority in many sectors by emerging as the national leaders. From bridging gaps to providing banking services, from upgrading our wardrobes to responding to our chemical requirements, Aditya Birla Group has ensured that it makes it impossible for its customers to imagine a life without its products. They have contributed a lot towards the society as well which encompasses the 18 charitable hospitals that are run by the group, thereby providing service to more than 1 million villagers. It has made lives of Indians from different income groups and regions, better. it has proved itself to be leader, and it will continue to grow forever.
I did not want to lose myself in the crowd
My father was an engineer and wanted me to become the same. He was very skeptical of all other career options as they were new to him and hence risky. But I wanted to pave my own way. Though I had to opt for engineering in my graduation and ended up working in An IT firm, I did not lose my focus. It definitely shaped me and made me stronger and also made me more determined towards my own path. I was away from my home since college taking care of my own self, even financially since I started working. I proved to my family that I am strong and thoughtful enough to made my own decisions. After that my father finally understood the importance of my dream, and he himself was convinced to help me take the first giant leap towards management by getting into the prestigious college, Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad.
