ABG #BigInYourLife - SDA Bocconi Asia Center
Have you ever thought about life without ABG? ABG has impacted everybody’s life with or without them knowing it. From a small product like Aluminium foil to the very large buildings that use UltraTech Cement, ABG has been a part and parcel of our life.
What the ABG means to me.
The Aditya Birla Group is that multinational conglomerate that India is proud to be associated with. The Group has grown from a small cotton trade to the big business empire that it is today and has a strong hold over every sector it has ever set foot on.The Aditya Birla Group has been a part of my life from a very long time now. For instance, every time I think of updating my wardrobe, the first few brands that come to my mind are forever 21, pantaloons etc. The brands provide us all the new trends in one place at the most reasonable prices. The sim cards that we are using are from the ABG, the houses that we live in are built by products from the ABG, but the list does not end there. The ABG has products in so many industries that it becomes a part of our daily lives even without us realizing. The interesting thing is the wide range of industries that the ABG is working in. Be it Finance, Telecommunication, Chemicals, Textile, ABG has profitable ventures in almost all these fields. Apart from these profitable ventures, the group also has various philanthropic ventures such as schools and hospitals for the underprivileged. Such developmental projects that have been taken up by the ABG do not impact our lives directly but eventually, as our intellectual capital and quality of life improves, their impact will be felt.The ABG also has a strong international reach. Hence, it can be agreed upon that no matter where we are from or what we do, we will always have some sort of a link with the ABG.
ABG-India’s premium business conglomerate_IMI New Delhi
As have worked in KPMG, one of the big four’s I have had not just one, but many days where I thought to myself if I’ll be able to finish my work within the deadline, but somehow always managed to. There was this time when I along with my team was working on an end to end audit which was to be completed in two weeks, a deadline for which all of us had to stretch till at least 1AM every day in order to finish the work in time, but then the unexpected happened after a week, our whole progress was lost due to some technical error, we had no backups of the files we were working on and the deadline could not be stretched further as the partner sign off was already finalised.
An idea that changed my life
It was the month of November,2018 when I was going to write the Common Aptitude Test (CAT). I prepared for the test with great ambitions and a lot of perseverance. I was up for the task and ready to face the chin music.
