Why ABG Is A Big Part Of My Life | Akhil Surya Venkata Gudla, TAPMI

Aditya Birla group played a big part in my life for many reasons. Firstly, ABG has helped me in improving my personality. I always wanted to try the teaching profession and online tutoring was a comfortable option available to me. IDEA facilitated me in doing online tutoring to children during my engineering. Data was costly during 2013-14. IDEA was the first companies to provide 1GB internet for 250rs.  I used the IDEA network as there were an uninterrupted signal and great speed. It helped me in expanding my horizons. Due to this interaction with children, my understanding of their behaviour and thinking patterns improved. It increased my patience and understanding of people. I brushed up my basics as well. Thanks to IDEA for being a part of my journey and for helping me in making the best use of my free time in Engineering.

Why ABG Holds A Special Place In My Life - Shagun Krishna, NMIMS Bangalore

Why ABG Holds A Special Place In My Life - Shagun Krishna, NMIMS Bangalore

Just as the Sun rises after the dark night and spreads it's light in the perfect saffron yellow ombre, Aditya Birla Group has probably done the same for a million lives. Aditya Birla Group is not just big but huge in my life. I remember being a kid and getting my lunch wrapped in Freshwrapp, which had become a necessity in probably every household out there. My mother always made sure that I got my chapattis wrapped in Freshwrapp as it keeps it fresh and so it did. Not just that, I cannot even count the number of times I have visited the Forever21 store, which is probably my favourite brand out there. And how could I ever forget about Pantaloons! After all the attractive offers that they give, how can any Indian resist from shopping from that store. Aditya Birla Group has not just focused on keeping the quality high and the prices just right in whatever field they step in, but also build a better, sustainable way of life for all sections of society and have played an important role in raising the country's Human Development Index. Aditya Birla Group has and will always hold a special place in my life for all the things that the group, as a whole, has done for the country, from providing two breads a meal to the needy to great job opportunities to the well off.

Wait For The Challenge! - Pranav Thapak, TAPMI

Wait For The Challenge! - Pranav Thapak, TAPMI

Challenge,  Cambridge dictionary defines the challenge as "  (the situation of being faced with) something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability.  The challenge which came to my mind fulfills the definition in every aspect.  I was gifted with the challenge just 6 days after the year 2019 started.  It changed a lot for me, it changed my category from fit to physically disabled, I met an accident which fractured my right tibial condyle. It happened just the day after CAT results while I was on my way to my home after taking XAT. I don't have a lot of memory of rest of the day. I remember opening my eyes and finding my parents looking worriedly at me.  I had so much planned for me, I have to start applying for the colleges I was eligible for but my priorities changed. Now, I have to deal with the pain of the accident and the surgery which followed it.  That's what I did for next month and meanwhile I started applying as soon as I could think of anything else.

Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities - Naman Singh, TAPMI

Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities - Naman Singh, TAPMI

There were really challenging moments in my life. But converting those challenges into opportunities is my mantra. I am highly admired by Mahabharata which has always taught me that even gods have to face tough challenges and have to deal with all phases of life. Not thinking about the results and focusing on your goal is what I have always done in a difficult time. When I completed my schooling, I gave the engineering entrance examination. I could not get in my desired engineering college. I decided to drop that year and tried to focus on my goals while at the same time my friends were starting their journey. It was very difficult to cut off all the ties from the outside world and focusing on your only aim. That time I used to discuss things with my family members who have always been my major support system in all my difficult times. I studied hard without thinking about the outcomes as everyone close to me were really supportive. And in the end my hard work paid me and I got selected in one of the most reputed colleges of Delhi. I was happy but at the same time, I didn’t want to lose that streak of hard work and focus which I gained during my one year of this journey. I cried, I broke but never forgot what I wanted to achieve.

My First Big Challenge - Vranda Gupta, TAPMI

My First Big Challenge - Vranda Gupta, TAPMI

CHALLENGES! What are they? For me, Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming is what makes life meaningful. We all have, in some way or the other, faced several challenges in our life. But once we had accepted them, we felt the exhilaration of victory.
