The very first memory I have of ABG is of its Hindalco business as my uncle used to work there during late 1990s and 2000s. From the chaos of Varanasi to the planned suburb of Renusagar, the scenic view of mountains used to lure my fantasies. Aditya Birla Public school in the vicinity where my cousins used to study, even the trivial milk & juice facility nearby along with many more things used to depict how caring ABG is as an organization. Not just that, I used to hear stories of extended support by ABG to bright kids of its employees and all these collectively used make me woo my dad to join this organization so that I can live here and experience these. And I won’t be able to forget the immense support of the organization to my uncle when he met a serious accident. All these things filled the bag of early memories.
While I was growing, I was asked about my desire to work for civil services as my dad has been always against the philosophy of switching jobs frequently which is a common phenomenon in private sector. But civil service was not my cup of tea, hence I started finding such opportunities in private sector. ABG leadership program was one such opportunity where individual gets to work across verticals throughout his life. It was like being ‘IAS’ of private sector. I then felt that probably that kid’s desire has got a shape. Soon I started finding out ways to get into this program, joining a premier B school was the way and then I started my preparation for CAT. It all paid well when I landed into MDI Gurgaon but the last leg was still left, getting into LEAP.
That kid is now ready to join the corporate world, all set with his bag of childhood memories. In due course he has been through national level exams to make himself reach this platform. The curriculum of management and stiff competition within the institute, along with working in teams has imparted him essential skills. All he needs now is one opportunity to launch himself for living out a fairy tale.
