The journey of Aditya Birla Group is a dream for any entrepreneur . Since its inception in 1857

by Seth Shiv Narayan Birla, the group has achieved exponential growth. The group operates in

35 countries with more than 120,000 employees worldwide and is the third-largest Indian private

sector conglomerate.

Apart from tremendous numbers, the group has personally enriched the life of each and every

individual of the country in some way or the other and I believe that’s what places Aditya Birla

Group above its competitors.

Coming to how the group has affected my life I would share the memories associated with the

brand. Remember Freshwrapp ? The aluminum foil our mom used to pack our lunch to keep it

warm and fresh. After having our lunch we used to roll the aluminum and make it into a ball and

play cricket with the notebook as our bat. Before writing this article I called my dad and inquired

about the materials used to make our house. to my astonishment, even the cement used to

build my house is owned by Aditya Birla Group. Being an Idea sim user since owning my first

phone I can say with confidence that idea provides uninterrupted services in every corner of the

country.

There is nothing but respect and love from my side for the group for complementing our lives.

I truly believe in the vision and mission of the group. The organization which is based on values

of integrity, commitment, passion, seamlessness, and speed leaves very little scope for error.

In the end, I would just like to reiterate what Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla said, “our values provide

us with our roots and they provide us with our wings”

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?

.........

I was always into sports since my childhood. I started my journey with swimming and played till

the state level. Then I got inclined towards karate and won National Level gold medal. It was

one fine day while browsing the internet I saw a video of Lionel Messi playing and was

dumbstruck with his magical control on the ball since then I started playing football and it

changed everything in my life. All the sports I had played previously were individual sports but it

was during football I learned leadership on a pitch. Being a quick learner I adapted myself to the

new sport and was soon made the captain of my school football team. Now it was not about my

individual performance it was all about how my team will perform, how we will play at the same

frequency and how we will collectively move towards our goal. I learned about the strength and

weakness of each player of my team and tried to capitalize on that to reap the full benefits of

what we had.

During my bachelors, I was a member of the Literary club of my college and facilitated the

joining of new members and organizing club activities. I learned to take feedback and implement

those feedback for our next task.

Since joining IIM RAIPUR I’m trying my best to implement all the things I have learned from my

past experience and move forward with a drive to make an impact irrespective of the hurdles I

will face in achieving my goal.
