Business groups in India are playing a very important role in bringing change in the lives of people. Aditya Birla Group is one of such traditional business groups which made its presence felt in the daily lives of people across sectors.

Being a Civil Engineer, I had seen the preference given to the Ultratech cement in the Industry which makes it a real "Engineers Choice" promising to build India.

In this era where Mobile phones are part of our daily lives, without Telecom providers like Idea & Vodafone our connection with the outer world will stop. The aluminum which is used to make cover glass for smartphones is manufactured by Hindalco Industries. They have reached to the wider audience with their clothing brands like Allen Solly, Peter England, Van Heusen, Peter England, Louis Philippe which I prefer for my daily wear. I still remember my college days where I used to go shopping with my friends to the Pantaloons Store.

Aditya Birla Group has interests in Carbon black, chemicals, fertilizers, insulators, financial services, BPO, and IT services. The Carbon Nanoparticles used in tires makes them safer and durable which we always prefer. A large share of the Copper requirement of Indian Railways, Lifeline of the nation is fulfilled by Birla Copper.

ABG has always been impacting lives by creating and delivering big value to its customers across the globe and reaching to more than 7.5 Million across 5000 villages with its various CSR activities. Needless to say, ABG has always been big in my life.

How I overcame my challenges

One of the most common challenges faced by human beings is "Worrying about the Future". This is the case with me for most of my time since my childhood. I was always much worried about my Academics, Schools which I get into, Competitions which I attended and finally the Examinations which used to make me a constant worrying person all the time.

I love this quote by Winston Churchill:

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.”

I have found it to be very true in my own life.

So, whenever I found myself struggling with these worries I realized that I m not living in the present moment and the very few ones that actually happened were mostly not as painful or terrible as I had expected.

From then on, I started working upon myself to release inner tensions and to move out of a headspace that is extra vulnerable to worries. I started spending more time in the present which helped me to relieve the pressure of the future ahead.

I have analyzed the mistakes which I committed in the past and rectified them.I have set goals to be achieved with timelines and constantly worked towards completing the day to day tasks awaking the taskmaster in me. This attitude of Living in the Present made me the best version of myself being more Self-confident to achieve the goals in my life without worrying about the future.
