As a guy who saw his father working day in day out and his mother sacrificing her meals so that she can make sure her children’s tummies are full, I turned out to be a humble person who valued everything, but these things also made me a play it safe guy. I always played it safe, be it my academics or my career. I never took the challenge to go out and take the risk to achieve my goal.

I had no idea of the kind of influence Aditya Birla Group had on my life till I joined GIM. Most
I remember my old home, torn out from every corner it was a clay home with coal shade and no bricks. I remember going out to play, watching my neighbor homes all newly constructed and beautifully crafted for living. As a child, all I wanted was a new home. One day when I went out to play, I stood in front of a house, watched it, admired it for many hours. After a month, while playing with the truck my father bought me from a fair, I saw my father and uncle carrying yellow sacks in large numbers, they placed them side by side in large numbers. I remember some grey power puffing out of them, a dust odor and a something like “Ult” written on them. Out of excitement and curiosity, I rushed to my father and asked “What is this Papa ?”, and he replied, “These are Ultratech cement sacks my son, we are building a new home”. That moment was happiness for me, I stood there and started crying and shouting “I’ll have a new home”. Some weeks later, the workmen started to come and it began. I took my small truck and helped them by disposing of clay, I was running here and there, collecting sand, cement, clay, and whatnot. My father watched me do all this, he was happy as I was happy. My father knew what I wanted, just like the Aditya Birla Group, who knows what the world needs and wants and is helping many in achieving their dreams.
