Aditya Birla group is the third largest conglomerate in India. It has brands like UltraTech, Pantaloons, Allen Solly, Louis Phillipe, Peter England, VanHeusen, Freshwrapp, Vodafone-Idea etc which are very popular among people. Aditya Birla Group has substantial influence in my life. I remember when I first bought formal wear from Peter England for my first job. I still wear them and they fit me comfortably. Who hasn’t shopped at Pantaloons? I have often shopped at Pantaloons along with my family. Usually, Pantaloons is my first choice whenever I want to buy clothes. It provides so many varieties to choose from at affordable prices.  I was little when my society decided to have RCC road and I would see the work being done while UltraTech cement bags were lying around. Moreover, 0.1 million metric tons of UltraTech cement went into construction of the famous Bandra-Worli sea link which is used by hundreds of people to commute every day. There must be hardly anyone who hasn’t used mobile sim card of Idea. Vodafone Idea Ltd is the largest telecom operator in India. I was able to call my family and friends even from the remotest part of India while travelling in trains or buses. That shows the commitment of Aditya Birla Group as an Organization who wants to reach out to last mile customers. Freshwrapp aluminium foils and containers bring back lots of my memories of college hostel and PG, how I used to tell vendors to pack my lunch or dinner and they would use Freshwrapp aluminium foils to pack it. I would reach home and it would still be fresh and hot. My family members have SIPs of Aditya Birla Sun Life. Hardly a day passes by without using a product by Aditya Birla Group. Indeed, big is what big does.

To overcome challenges, one has to develop a certain mindset first. Seeing difficulties as opportunities to learn something new is the part of this mindset. Hard work has no substitute. Instead of fretting over difficulty, one should work towards overcoming it. I still remember placement season during my engineering days when I was not prepared to crack aptitude test and interview. But I worked hard for straight 15 days with single minded goal of getting the job. When the results came, I was the happiest person. While working on technical issues at my company, a new requirement came, and I was asked to deliver it in a day. It was a challenge to code and test the same in such a short span of time. But I tried and I delivered it. This taught me to never give up without trying and to have faith in myself. I suffered severe chicken pox just before my second-semester engineering exams. As a result, I couldn't study much and I feared I would fail in an exam for the first time in my life. I had to rely mostly on classroom lectures I attended. I appeared for the exams and scored better than my expectations. This incident taught me to face the challenges and work to overcome them. My parents and teachers always taught me the importance of education and discipline. I am willing to learn new things. Project in my job required me to learn things quickly. I managed to pick up concepts and delivered. #NMIMSMumbai#ABGLPWooMe
