With each passing day, customers and consumers are giving more importance to the aesthetic values a product can offer. Aditya Birla Group (ABG) provides these values in its products. In spite of having a presence in 14 different industries, ABG has been able to continue to work with integrity, commitment and zeal.
Life has been amazing. Sometimes there have been great times and sometimes it has been hard to keep spirits high. Every opportunity brings with itself a set of challenges which uncover only as we go along the difficult path leading to success. Like for most people, the first part of my life was very generic.
Growing up, I was primarily shy, my focus being academics and cricket. In Class 10, I decided to become a part of the School Students council. However, my profile was not the right fit and I simply had to break out of my cocoon. Over the next two years, I participated in events, built a rapport with my batch mates and did everything to achieve this goal. It was not easy, however, finally in Class 12, I was indeed elected! It was a huge achievement for me. I realized that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible.
I am not from a poor family, and never have I ever been deprived of quality education. I've never had to be at the mercy of a third person to get what I wanted, and have been blessed with sound mental health and great physical ability. What can I say when asked about the challenges I have faced in my life, when everything I have done in the past seems to be easy?
Struggles and challenges are a part of not just mine but every person’s life.
It gives me a sense of immense pride that one of the most premiere conglomerates in the world, Aditya Birla Group, has its roots in my country, India. Spanning over 34 countries, it brings together a culture of 42 nations under a single roof. With a clear vision in mind, Aditya Birla Group has always aligned its goals with the country’s needs. The same is also reflected in each of the verticals that the group has served to its nation. From cotton trading in Pilani, Rajasthan to a valuable contribution in Bandra-Worli Sealink, ABG has undoubtedly touched upon millions of lives.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. And your response to the challenge, not the reactions; will define you who you going to be in life.
The Group’s roots have a legacy over 150 years and there is doubt in saying that it has touched the lives of every Indian in some way or the other. Their businesses have grown into global powerhouses in a wide range of sectors –Manufacturing, Fashion, Infrastructure, Innovation and Finance. I grew up watching Ultratech Cement ads whose tagline is “The Engineer’s Choice” completely aligned my dream of being an Engineer in the near future. The first phone I purchased had a sim-card of Idea which I am still loyal to.
