Getting empowered by ABG Apparels

My strength is in my words and expressing it in sentences. Alas, my weakness is in public speaking. I remember as a kid I used to make several excuses to miss those classes that involved public speaking. Should my mother force me to go, I’d simply tell my teachers I am unprepared, which certainly wasn’t the case. Even when I was being awarded ACE awarded by my previous company for excellent services, I was nervous and shaking the day before even though my speech was ready and memorised. My mother had enough of it and took me to the nearest Pantaloon store to shop for my formal wear that was supposed to wear the other day. She got me a fine crisp Allen Solly shirt and said “Your words should be as gentle as this fabric. Like this shirt is an easy fit, your words should also be easy to understand.”

Impacting More Than Just Business, ABG - Sidhant Satapathy- TAPMI

Aditya Birla Group, this name is not just recognized as a fortune 500 listed business but it is associated with being an inescapable part of our lives. From the roads we walk on, the houses we live in, to the clothes we wear, invariably we are all connected to the Aditya Birla Group in more than a few ways. My experience with this multinational conglomerate has been a personal and fond one because as an MBA candidate, formal wear is an essential part of my wardrobe and I always find clothing of my choice from Louis Philippe. I find that quality of clothing is something that can be found in varying degrees across the various retail outlets in the fashion and lifestyle industry but when it comes to cool, comfortable and long-lasting clothing, nobody does it better than the biggest fashion and lifestyle player in the Indian Market. Along with my experience with the retail front of The Aditya Birla Group, I always find myself fondly telling people how my oldest cousin sister who hails from the interior part of Odisha with not as many opportunities as people hailing from the more suburban areas of India, successfully completed her Masters in Fashion technology from NIFT, Bhubaneswar as a gold medalist in her batch and got placed in Madura Fashion and Lifestyle (A division of the Aditya Birla Nuvo group) and since then has always been a continually progressing employee of the Aditya Birla Nuvo Group. I have, from conversations with her regarding her work life, understood that The Aditya Birla Group doesn’t just talk leadership and organizational values, they live by it. The organization has given her not just a success story to share but also numerous learning opportunities and the same has taught me that where you come from doesn’t matter as much as knowing where you want to go and with the right kind of opportunity lifting you, all it takes is belief in yourself and the learnings that you can carry with yourself from every opportunity that you get in life.

The Serenity of life is best understood only when surrounded by odds. But this is what makes life, a truly remarkable one.

The Eagle of Conglomerate- TAPMI

The new business-TAPMI

This is a very recent part of my life the memories are still fresh in my mind. I had just completed my graduation and was planning to join an B-school. My father had just started a new business it was starting to become lucrative, but one of the investors pulled out of the new venture and all of the sudden this new lucrative venture was starting to become starved of capital it needed to grow especially in these initial days.

Insurer of The Basics-TAPMI

Food, shelter and clothing are beautifully called as the three-basic requirement of livelihood and the Aditya Birla Group is one such organization that has been aiding us in providing it since decades. Since my childhood, Aditya Birla Group has been a part of my shelter and clothing.

ABG's share-In our Economy & Our Lives - TAPMI

There have been several memorable inclusions of ABG in my personal life. My father's trust towards UltraTech among the existing brands while building his dream house is the most emotional part by which ABG touched my life, my first personal contact no. that resembled my identity; when those days BSNL SIM's were the first option of reliability & people weren't too sure to go for private operators, I went with IDEA and since then I never regretted my decision, the personal gift on my brother's wedding to him from my side from Van Heusen and the list goes long if I analyze.

How i revived the sprinter in me - TAPMI

It was a Wednesday, yes a Wednesday, i clearly remember. The final selected list of athletes who would represent the college relay team for the inter-college sports competition was announced. The list which i had been consistently a part of for many events, did not feature my name any more. It was the end of the world for me. This particular incident broke my heart but also served as a wake up call for me. I knew that my diet was a mess and it started to reflect on my body. I was becoming heavy and it affected my speed  and even my mental well being. I introspected and the causes for my predicament was very obvious. I was certain that i cannot continue like this nor i will be able to forgive myself for what i have done to myself. I didn't want to end up as a nobody. This is the point where i decided to change. I started to keep a watch on my diet, hit the gym and dedicate some of my time in sprinting practice. It was a hard way back but i was determined enough. Soon my perseverance started to pay off and i was slowly but steadily becoming the best version of myself. I dont have words to explain the kind of confidence this instilled in me. I applied for the college team again in the succeeding year and guess what? i finally got back to where i belong. This whole phase taught me an important lesson - Never to take anything for granted and the sense of entitlement would put you in a dangerous path. But if you believe in yourself, no matter where your life takes you, rest assured that you will succeed.
