With its vision to be a premium global conglomerate, the group has secured numero uno status in many of its businesses. The name Aditya Birla exemplifies integrity, quality, performance, perfection and above all character. Aditya Birla logo reflects the same and left a utopian mark on me.

The group deeply care about the community & has facilitated inclusive growth from the inception. It has actively contributed to the social and economic development of the communities. In the process, it has facilitated a sustainable way of life for weaker sections of society and raised India’s human development index.

If your first instinct is to run away from failures, then perhaps you’re doing it the wrong way! This is Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla's mantra to deal with failures. My elders have at numerous instances quoted about Aditya Birla group’s evolution while being ethical and driven by values throughout. I also look up to Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group as a role model.

The belief that the first sign of the success of a modern nation lies in the ability of its citizens to celebrate is seeded by ABFRL. India's young working population and robust economic performance have led to rising incomes which, combined with increasing global exposure, are empowering many latent wants to morph into demands.

Making Indian brands global requires patience, time and consistency in terms of product quality. The group has showcased the determination and values possessed by Indians across the globe, thus making India proud.

Beginning with an interest in studies and sports, my college & school life has so far been an interesting journey. Becoming an engineer was a dream and the endeavour to excel in engineering finally paid dividends with 81.66% in four years of graduation. My holistic development as a human being is attributed to my parents. Joining IMI, Delhi is one of the major transitions of my life since I get to interact with people across the country from different cultures and working background.

I intend to turn myself into a capable leader and solve many business-related problems that can arise in the highly volatile and dynamic corporate environment.

With a formal degree in technology, the next goal was to gain familiarity with the business world through intensive study of economics and finance, operations, human resource, marketing. The exposure to various business fields is extremely important especially because I desire to work in the intersection of business and technology.

Being part of an event (held annually) team, I suggested a new idea of recruiting campus ambassadors from different colleges for online/offline outreach promotions which were not done until the last edition of the event. With support and trust from the senior members, empowerment to take an independent decision regarding the program helped a lot. I took reference from different institutions which implemented this program successfully.

Being self-reliant & embracing innovation to have competitive advantage and sustenance are my key takeaways from my short stint at IMI.
