Aditya Birla Group Is Big In My Life

Aditya Birla Group Is Big In My Life

ABG touches millions in the world. It is unlikely that you have never used a product, or travelled on a road or visited a site where ABG has not contributed in some way. Its presence in your life is massive.

Stepping up

Stepping up

I have been a budding athlete throughout my school and college days. I have always been pretty athletic and it has been my dream to represent my country. The training rigor which all athletes and I went through was extremely intense and back breaking in school. It used to be every day of the week except Sundays and through out the year. I slowly started loving the training as I got used to it and the results slowly started rolling in. I was sweeping through the local and district level athletic meets (1500m) with medals in almost all the meets I used to participate in. Once during my 11th grade while leisurely playing football in the evening I bent down to place the ball and I just couldn't get up. Thousand different thoughts were going through my head as my friends picked me up and carried me to the hospital. At the doctor's I found out that my Lumbar spine was injured because of trauma to the bones, muscles and other tissues of the back. I was bed ridden for more than 2 months. And after properly thinking about it I realized that the injury might have been because of my "improper" long jump technique which I used to do every day after practice for fun. After intense muscle therapy sessions and being told that I can't compete professionally and after hundreds of pills I came back stronger the next year and proved every body wrong by winning the state level silver medal the next year. The right attitude and training really and truly helped me in getting back to my best.

Perseverance leads to success

It has always been my dream right from my childhood to do an MBA from a reputed institute in India. My focus never wavered from this ambition all these years and I did my best to score well in my graduation. Then came the biggest hurdle to reach my ambition, the CAT test. I was an average student when it came to arithmetic and due to the same reason I could not clear the CAT entrance in my first attempt.

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying - TAPMI

“Get busy livin', or get busy dying”- Shawshank Redemption. This quote has been a central impetus in my life and I can confidently say it has made me the person I am today. I am 27 years old or as I say I am 27 years young and currently pursuing MBA from T.A Pai Management Institute and life is quite beautiful here in Manipal. (Flashback) Life was not this smooth earlier, rather I had my fair share of mess in the past and I feel that was all a part of the big plan. A kid from Bhubaneswar studying B.Tech and then settling for a job, that was the initial plan which I had in my mind but life had other plans for me (They say nothing before the word but counts). I had to quit the job due to some medical problems and then I was stranded at home, jobless and feeling worthless and all other things and trust me it is not a good feeling at all. So, my sister advised me to learn an instrument as that would help me take my mind off the incessant dark voices in my head. This was the moment I started to discover myself and the untapped persona in me.

Aditya Birla Group touches every aspect of most Indian life. More was a store that brings memories of childhood which changed the way we shopped from waiting in front of the kirana store to seeing, touching and feeling what we bought.

ABG and its role in my life-TAPMI

Aditya Birla, a group that started in 1857 is not just another brand, it is now or rather since decades been a household name. Back when I was a kid, "Aditya Birla" was only a cement label that my family had put all their trust in while building our humble abode. Later as I grew up and out of my ignorance, I figured out how my life is intermingling with the brand so much so that every time I go shopping, it is either to the nearest Pantaloons or the nearest forever 21 or Allen Solley store, owned by Aditya Birla Group, to find clothes of all the latest trends. Another instance that I cannot miss out is the fact that Aditya Birla group owns 26% stakes of the Vodafone Idea Limited, hence being a part of every Indian's extended family, this reminds me of the time when idea used to be the cheapest out of all the cellular companies, complying with my student budget. Aditya Birla Group Capital is another one such product by the group that stands out, even though I have never been a part of it, my parents are, and so often it is a part of our daily dinner conversation that it is inevitably a part of our lives.

Be everything you love

Be everything you love

The way we dress shows to the world our character. Being an MBA student, my dressing gives me great confidence to interact and face other people. The Peter England shirt and blazer that I wear adds confidence, comfort and style for me. This helps me to be everything that I love. I can still remember the Louis Philippe shirt gifted to my dad which I purchased with my first salary. I can still remember the joy and happiness on my sister’s face when I gifted her a Forever 21 pair of jeans. These brands have been a part of my joy and happiness in life.
