ADITYA BIRLA GROUP: Taking India to the World - IIM Kashipur
Q. Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life?

Overcoming Challenges
Being a student for major part of my life so far and having only few months of professional experience, most of my achievements are in my student life. One of the challenges I had a fear of speaking in public, which prevented me from voluntarily participating in any of the competitions held during school. Thus my short-term goal was to get rid of this fear and express myself in front of an audience. To achieve this goal, I had taken few measures like- I practiced many extempore in-front of my friends and classmates. I also tried speaking in-front of a mirror (as suggested by many) and lastly was to do a bit research on the topic I was going to speak or present to an audience. These practices helped me a lot as gaining my self-confidence and helped me to express confidently in-front of an audience. From being a silent listener to emceeing in college events the journey has been satisfactory and of great learning.

The Third year
This is a story from my undergrad days. I had completed my second year(just barely). I just scraped by, getting near passing marks in many of my subjects. I have never been a hard worker. i was a procrastinator and quite literally i procrastinated everything from my submissions to studies even doctor's appointments. I got less marks despite being good in grasping concepts. The irony in all this scenario is the friends i helped understand the concepts got more marks than me in every subject. The opposite was true in practical examinations, where i got some of the highest marks in all the students appearing for the test. I was never bothered about this until my third year started. This was the time i cursed my habit of procrastination. In almost all the companies i could not appear, not because of my knowledge or practical skills but because of my lack of marks. Recruiters preferred candidates who had more marks and i was omitted in all the final lists. 8 interviews went by when i finally asked myself that what was i doing and how long is this going to continue. It was then that i decided to finally start working hard. For the first time, in my undergrad i got marks. I got a Semester GPA of 8, after getting a 5-6 in all my previous semesters. It did feel good as now i was not only understanding but was also showing that i do know things. I also started to control my urge to procrastinate which helped me in making a very nice Virtual Reality based First Person Shooter game for android platform, which i presented at the end of my third year and got an A grade for it. I started to change my entire habit and my lifestyle. Eventually i graduated with a CGPA of 6.6 eligible to sit in most of the companies, a feat i thought impossible, but by then i had a new goal to pursue MBA, which i believed would transform me. I worked hard and eventually did get myself into Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bangalore. All this possible due to a series of rejections.
