Aditya Birla Group: Gleams of Sunshine in my Life- TAPMI

Great businesses are never built on the quick sands of opportunism.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          -Kumar Mangalam Birla

Challenges are mandatory to achieve your goal. If there is

Challenges are mandatory to achieve your goal. If there is no challenge you are facing for a period of time, trust me, you are not on the right track. After my BTech graduation, I was placed in a company, where I got a job, I never dreamt of doing. I wanted my career to kick-start from a perfect role for me. This made me coin down to pursue MBA. Not a normal MBA, but an MBA from IIM-A. So I started taking coaching classes from one of the leading coaching centres of the country. After seven months of coaching, I gave my CAT exam and I was confident enough to expect calls from IIMs. But unfortunately, I didn't clear the cutoff for a section of the exam, leaving me with no IIM calls. At first, I felt really sad and hopeless but then I noticed that I have gotten calls from other prestigious B-schools. I then started preparing for the interviews for those colleges. Initially, it was very difficult to make myself comfortable with the fact that getting into IIM will cost another year which I didn't want to lose. But eventually, I gained confidence and performed well in the interviews which gave me an opportunity at TAPMI. It gave me wonderful opportunities and a new horizon for understanding business. After one year of MBA, one thing I realized is that, where ever you are, you will stand out if you are meant to be. It is not the institute that matters, it is your attitude that matters.

Whatever Happens, Happens || Rahul Raj Agarwal || IMI Delhi

 Every boy dreams of buying the world for their parents. However, due to economic conditions of our countries most of us settle for small trinkets of joy & being a fresher right out of college it’s hard to find a good job and ESPECIALLY the ones that pay. Hence, the idea of small trinkets gets converted to an even smaller bundle of joys that may not mean for much but look like the world to us. With what is had and what my expenses where it was a miracle I was able to make a savings but nothing substantial to buy something good. Hence, I planned to save until I could buy them a proper gift and started investing in their name. I looked through the various investment opportunities and offers and chose the ABG’s mutual fund as a good bet.  Out of the various modes I chose Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Hybrid '95 Fund both small and mid-cap options to get the most out of what little I had. Now, this was 2 years ago and I joined my MBA last year, but I managed to keep saving and keeping my fund alive and gave them the fund as the gift. This was one of the best moments of my life. This not only made me equally happy but also helped me start a long-term fund for my family.

Confidence in your own ability - TAPMI

Confidence in your own ability - TAPMI

I was born in Kolkata and raised in a family that has been living in the city for three generation. So, when I completed my engineering and got a job in a software consulting firm, it came as a shock and a challenge for me when I was transferred to Chennai. I was the first member from my family to step out of the city, thus did not have much wisdom imparted in me of how to cope with the change in culture and language. But I took it up as a challenge to further my career goals. The initial days were not at all good when I was dealing with culture, language and food differences and to compound on my agony, some accident happened which made me feel like donated organ who is being rejected by my new body. But I persevered, learned habits which made me feel more comfortable there and also made new friends. I also found success at work as I became a senior member, lead of my team within one year. As things were getting better for me my strive for learning made me take up MBA examination. I was so determined for my next goal and confident in my abilities I resigned before the results. Though the initial results were not favorable and made me question my choice but everything fell into place when I got a chance to pursue my MBA in TAPMI. Life always gives you challenging and tough situations, the best way to tackle it is to have patience and confidence in your own ability, and everything will eventually fall in place. #TAPMI #ABGLPWooMe
