The Life That Is With ABGLP - Prerna Pahuja, NMIMS Mumbai
‘Why Aditya Birla Group is big in your life?’
‘Why Aditya Birla Group is big in your life?’
Learning begins at the end of your comfort zone and it has been the way I have lived with. It was all started when my parents sent me to a boarding school at an early age of 10 years due to lack of better schooling at my hometown. I did my schooling across 4 different cities living away from my family, which has taught me to learn from a new environment and new challenges at each and every stage of life and has made me independent and adaptable.
Aditya Birla Group is a US $44.3 billion corporation and in the league of Fortune 500 and serves in a wide range of sectors – metals, textiles, carbon black, telecom and cement. It has definitely impacted the life of every Indian in some way or the other.
I come from a family of government-sector professionals and I have bolstered this innate attitude of keep moving forward. However, I take after my grandfather, who was a man of untiring effort and myriad skills. He took up several odd jobs to rebuild the family’s assets after the trauma of partition. This inherited attitude has been manoeuvred and developed further by my life experiences. It is believed that as we grow up our ambitions keep getting bigger and to cope with the disappointment that follows when one doesn’t succeed must be backed by faith and positivity. I have applied the same whenever I have faced tough times in my personal, academic and professional life.
What defines success? Doing something outstanding? Being the best? Maybe or Maybe not. It’s subjective. Practically every other thing in these times of social media is highly subjective.
