Trials and Tribulations

Trials and Tribulations

I have been presented with several obstacles in my life, some big and some small. These obstacles have had a defining purpose and my response to them are indicative of the values I have inculcated. Life has tried to put me down time and again but I have always chosen to get back up, to fight against the odds, to face the most difficult situations with resilience.

ABG - An experience.

ABG - An experience.

People have by and large related themselves to the ABG Group by mentioning their relationship with its products and services. What I come to share of is my experience in a school closely associated with this group. Ashok Hall Group of Schools is a group of 3 schools, the first one being Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar, having started with not more than 10 kids, in the premises of Mr. B. K. Birla. Over the years the school has grown to host talented students from multiple domains. I happen to be an Alma Mater from this school. The school having had a humble beginning has instilled in me a deep sense of gratitude and warmth. Right from the way our ex Principal Mrs. Sarat Priya Patjoshi made us feel as little kids, to our next Principal holding my hand to guide me through the fears of public speaking to our latest Principal, giving me the opportunity to participate in competitions nationally, has transformed me as an individual. Time and again, the ABG group conducted its AGMs and invited the school students to witness the same. The entire process of having attended these diverse programs through my school learning has given me an edge over other students from the same field. I consider myself to be an extremely confident person today, and the founding steps to it have been the ABG group, through its constant innovation to the field of education and learning, particularly through the inclusion of creative ideas to my school group.

ABG pioneering and motivating the future

ABG pioneering and motivating the future

ABG was set up by Sri Basant Kumar Birla who started his career as a junior employee at Kesoram Industries so that he can learn the art of business from the very basics. Even when he reached the peak of his career he was always grounded in his attitude and did everything he could to positively impact the lives of the other people. I try to take and gain the same motivation from him I try to give back to society in my capacity and start from the very bottom sticking to my basics. I was part of the Rotaract club during my graduation and we used to hold blood donation camps and did other things for the underprivileged. I was also a part of Team Parivartan at my previous job which undertook CSR activities.

How is Aditya Birla big in my life ?

How is Aditya Birla big in my life ?

Aditya Birla Group, has shown its presence almost everywhere. I hail from Kolkata, and I have been around so many Birla Group’s foundations like Birla Mandir, Birla Schools like (Mahadevi Birla School, Birla High School, JD Birla, etc.). It would be an absurd statement if someone said that they have never come across which is associated with Aditya Birla Group. Be it cellular network, retail outlets, fashion brands, Aditya Birla Group has made its mark. One of the best mergers to tackle JIO was Vodafone and Idea networks, this had been eyes glued on the newspaper headlines and even my mobile app. It is shocking that even most of the phones we use, the screen is from Aditya Birla Group. Aditya Birla Group works with a lot of NGOs and have CSR activities, and the people they serve, 60percent of them are below the poverty line and belong to marginalised and vulnerable sections of society.
