No Vision, No Success

No Vision, No Success

One thing that I have always believed in is putting my best foot forward in whatever I do. I was very particular that the career that I will be in 10 years from now, needs to use my best strengths. Even though I liked what I was doing in my previous job, I hated every bit of the work environment. I knew I needed to work out a solution and hence decided to give CAT. In a corporate job which demanded often 10-12 hours a day, studying for a competitive exam seemed like a distant dream. Far more than opening a book and studying after a real hectic day, the bigger challenge in front of me was to find motivation and keep it moving. Even though I put in hours of work, I was unable to get fair scores. I cut myself out from all leisure and started preparing for the exam. My mother's failing health demanded my presence at home, being the eldest son of the family. There came a time when I didn't know what to look forward to. It took a negative toll on my mental well being and there came a point where I could go no further.

Idea-First chapter of an long era

Idea-First chapter of an long era

I still remember, exactly two decades back, in the mid-afternoon my uncle entered the house with a strange device made out of plastic. He said, “you can call anyone with this”, I asked him that’s good at least it’s not that big as a landline phone. But then I asked him to connect it to the wire and make a call. My uncle laughed and told me, it doesn’t need a wire, you can use it right now, without connecting it to any wire. I thought he is joking, excited with something new in the house, I wanted to use that device so desperately and my uncle is joking at this time instead of doing what I am saying, this fact made me sad. Uncle sensed it and grinned, he then dialed the phone number of our house’s landline phone, I ran to pick it up and I heard a familiar voice of my uncle. I was shocked in disbelief. Then my uncle explained me that this device is known as mobile phone and you can make calls without connection with any wire. I asked him how it works then, after all its just a plastic box!

Aditya Birla Group and its influence in my life - TAPMI

Aditya Birla Group and its influence in my life - TAPMI

The high rise buildings, manmade islands and snow surfing in the midst of desert are what I have seen while growing up in Dubai. So when the day came where I had to shift to india I was scared with regards to change in lifestyle I would have to undergo thru. Today while I was researching on the various brands under Aditya Birla Group I realised that during that shift to India Aditya Birla Group directly and indirectly played a major role in making that process as smooth as possible.

ABG – Inspiring Millions Everyday - TAPMI

ABG – Inspiring Millions Everyday - TAPMI

The Impact a product has on the average day of a commoner is perhaps the easiest way to measure the success of a business. But the Impact area is wider, starting from the shirt you wear, the concrete you stand on, the roof above you, the phone call you just made, the alloy in your car wheel, the carbon black in the rubber tyre below that, the TV show you just saw and so on. You realise that the company has become a part of your daily life – an achievement beyond the scales of success. This is what the Aditya Birla Group has achieved.

I got to know about Aditya birla Group from my best friend Mukul who studied at Aryaman Vikram Birla Institute Of Learning haldwani. From him I came to know about the fact that ABG is always indulged in CSR activities. For instance in haldwani they provided students with merit scholarships they are also a part of Sarv shiksha abhiyan which aims at universalizing of elementary education. I got really inspired by the CSR activities carried out by ABG and decided to research a bit more about it. I found out about their initiative to be a part of polio eradication programme where they helped immunize 70 million children against polio. They even provided 5000 physical challenged people with artificial limbs making them self reliant. There are many other such examples but this is something which touched my heart. ABG sends a clear message - no matter how competitive and profit driven society becomes humanity will never die.
