Overhauling Hurdles

Overhauling Hurdles

Challenges are a part and parcel of life and braving them with a fierce attitude help’s one relish life. Thus far one of my challenges has been to come out of my small town from Jhansi and securing and establishing a place for myself in a reputed institution for my Post Graduation. The biggest hurdle was to convince myself that I was capable of undertaking the journey and claiming a rightful position for myself. Being optimistic and at the same time honing my skills have been ways in which I have overcome the challenge.

Life is about Capitalizing a Chance - TAPMI

While working in my last company (Jacobs Engineering India Pvt ltd) I got a chance to work for Aditya Birla Grasim Project of Caustic Soda Expansion in Rehla Plant. In this project, I got a chance to sub lead process department for the very first time and it was the turning point of my life. It helped me to develop myself as a leader, developing strategies and managing team to release all documents as per the schedule to meet project requirement. This project helped me to gain leadership and mentoring qualities. I am glad to be a part of Aditya Birla family indirectly.

What doesn't break you, makes you - TAPMI

As a kid, I always remembered going to our ceramics pottery. I would play with the clay, which was used as a raw material, and talk to the people who worked there. This used to be an enriching experience because of the colourful and artistic world it created for me. Little did I know, that it would soon come crashing down in July 2001.

IDEA! A PRODUCT FOR LIFETIME

IDEA! A PRODUCT FOR LIFETIME

In my teenagers, I started using a mobile phone. With a mobile phone comes a SIM card and in those days there were leading companies like Airtel, Hutch, BSNL and IDEA!. At one end, BSNL had all the great plans for students, its services were not up to the mark, and I was searching for a network which was stable and with large customer base as that it directly related to quality of the product. One turns to his family for suggestions when one is inexperienced in a field and that is what I did. My sister was using IDEA! through a plan which was exclusive for her medical college and she had given another SIM card to my mother as the calling was free between the two. Looking at it, I chose to go with IDEA! and I don’t regret this decision till date.

Girl Power

I have always been amazed at the deep concern and sympathy that my parents get when they tell people that I am their only child. Often their reaction is “it is so sad that after her marriage you will be left all alone”. I would get hurt and frustrated when I was younger but now even the thought of it motivates me to do the best in my life and even though I cannot repay them fully, to take care of them in the best possible manner. I consider myself to be very fortunate to have parents who never considered me to be any less than a son. They provided me with the best of education and everything I could ever ask for in my life. It is due to this that the initiative of the Aditya Birla Group to promote disadvantaged women struck a chord with me.

Aditya Birla Group - an everyday partner - TAPMI

Not a day in my life passes without coming into contact with an Aditya Birla Group(ABG) product or service in some way or the other. I wake up in the morning and gives a call to girlfriend from my Idea sim. There starts my daily journey with ABG . After getting ready , I put on my Peter England shirt and Louis Philippe jeans and decide to head out. On my way, I see a huge billboard advertisement for Ultratech cement. The ABG logo makes me realise that it is an ABG brand. I reach the nearest mall , where my friends are waiting for me. We go into the Pantaloons store to pick up some new clothes to wear on the occasion of our friend’s marriage. My friends tell me that Pantaloons is from the house of ABG. After a fun filled day I come back home. I ask my dad about ABG’s presence in our lives. He tells me that the roofing sheets used in our house are Hindalco, an ABG brand. With an ignited curiosity, I decide to learn more about Aditya Birla Group. I come to know that the group was founded in 1857, the year India witnessed its first war of Independence. I realise that since then ABG has been at the forefront of transforming the lives of millions for the better , through constant innovation and foraying into new industry sectors. With a presence ranging from Agribusiness to Chemicals and from Textile to Wind power , ABG is a true multinational conglomerate. The Aditya Birla Group will continue to be a big presence not in my life alone, but in the lives of millions all over the world.
