We live in a country where the child learns the rules of cricket before learning the alphabets. While our dream ended with India’s exit from the world cup, cricket had its own way of glueing us to the world cup. The world cup final match between England and NewZealand is perhaps the biggest moment in the history of cricket. The match ferried us on a roller coaster of emotions - joy, sympathy, sadness, regret and ecstasy.
“Entrepreneurs are born. Executives are made. We need them both.” - Kumar Mangalam Birla, XVI Convocation Speech, NIT Rourkela
Life is a challenge- Face it!! Every now and then we find ourselves being pierced by a plethora of challenges. It doesn't depend upon the stock of your arsenal but your skills of using them that can win you a battle. And I believe a man who is persistent and passionate will always sail through such challenges. My life is nothing different from the rest. Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution proposed the survival of the fittest. Since birth we have been at constant battle against a new challenge that crops up the moment we feel we have conquered the last one!! The first challenge was to get a good education. Now that I landed up in an institute of national importance, the new battle began to get a good start to the corporate life. This landed me a job in an aluminium smelter in my home state itself. Another new challenge!!
The vision of the Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla whose deep commitment towards creating a brand of immense worth based on solid foundations of impeccable values, has seen the Aditya Birla Group journey across many a milestone to emerge as a multinational power-brand of statesman stature, in the matter of just two decades.
As mentioned by Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, “Our values provide us with our roots and they provide us with our wings”. This is true not only for Aditya Birla Group but to each and every individual like me. Over the years it is the five core values of Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness and Speed that helped the corporation to steer through the ups and downs of the corporate world. It is the ‘Power of five’ that helped them to deliver superior quality to the stakeholders and strive towards the vision of becoming a premium global conglomerate.
‘Climbing to the top demands strength whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career,’ this quote by our Late President APJ Abdul Kalam has always inspired me.
During the days I worked as an Engineer, I was looking out for a mobile network connection which would provide me connectivity both in my relatively less urbanized hometown and the urban city I worked in. My friends pitched for Vodafone Idea connection and later I was grateful to them because once when there was a cell tower failure impacting almost all networks around my place, people were able to reach out to me through Vodafone Idea connection. Much later in life I was in search of smart casual tops and formal shirts. I was amazed to find the plethora of choices Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Pantaloons provided at my fingertips. I was skeptical about buying clothes form e-shopping sites since there was a probability that the product may not look as given in the images and returning could have hassles. However since the deals looked so good and transparent, I decided to give it a try. Among the three I bought, I had to return only one and that was because of my preference and not due to damage or deviation from what I had expected. Moreover the return collection was so prompt and hassle free that I recommended the same to my friends.
