Aditya Birla Group is a multinational conglomerate that has touched the lives of millions and millions of people, and their families and I are no exception to that. The group has its roots way back in British India where the Birla Group had an all-encompassing vision for inclusive growth in India and has always given back to the society since its inception by setting up premier educational institutions and supporting the Indian freedom struggle.
Challenges are a part of life. They help in experiencing life from a whole new perspective. They help you, they make you stronger, they tell you not to lose but to try. They are important as they allow you to taste the success after all your actions, mindset and decisions. Challenge adds taste to success because an easy destination is not worth it.
Belonging to an extremely humble background, a corner on the face of the earth where my father struggled every day for a one-time meal of the day and shared a tiny hall with his six other siblings, struggle, I believe has always been part of the growing up process.
Aditya Birla group has not only touched our lives but has enriched it and is always seen as striving towards building a better tomorrow. Service to society is imbibed in the value system of ABG and can be perceived. It stands to true to the virtue of “Small things can have a BIG Impact!”
After graduating from college, I got an internship in Msc Memok Tervezo in Budapest, Hungary. During weekends, I used to travel to neighbouring countries to learn more about the cities and their lifestyles. During one of my weekend trips, I discovered a new concept of growing fruits and vegetables in a soilless medium known as Hydroponics. I had an opportunity to go for my masters during this time but I decided to come back to India and do something for the people of rural India. I decided to start my small startup venture in the field of hydroponics.
Everyone faces some or the other challenge in their day to day lives, at some point in time or another. For me, the challenge which I am about to share was a particularly life-changing one. It was the end of my 8th grade, and I had volunteered to write the exam for a student having a learning disability. I finished writing his exam, and I reached home, as usual. It was then, that I faced the biggest shock of my life. My father, who was a severe diabetic, had a heart attack, and he passed away almost instantly. I was surrounded by tears from people of all categories, be it building friends, neighbours, relatives, etc. I just stood there, frozen, not knowing how to react, or what to do in a particular situation. To everyone’s surprise, I didn’t shed a single tear. I believe that there are only two outcomes of such situations, either you choose to sink, or you choose to swim. While many choose the former and lay the blame game, I decided to man up, and thus, I chose the latter. Being the elder child and the man of the house now, I knew that I had to take over the mantle of the responsibility that my father used to shoulder. I worked incredibly hard, knowing that I was not just doing it for myself, but for my family, because they had all of their hopes pinned on me. The moment when I actually told my mother, that I had been placed successfully into a well renowned MNC like Accenture, the expression of pride and joy on her face was an absolute delight for me to watch. IT was something that I didn’t want to do, but I still ended up doing it anyway because the job was what was keeping my family afloat. I worked with Accenture for almost 3 years, I faced various challenges, complications, etc. but not once did I ever even think about giving up, and I didn’t, and I am proud of myself for behaving like a matured person, living out of my comfort zone for once in my life. I always dreamed about being a manager, but I chose to delay my long-term dream, solely because of the fact, that no matter, whatever happens, family comes first, it always has, and it always will. ‘Why is Aditya Birla Group big in my life’ Aditya Birla Group (ABG) is an Indian MNC, which was founded in the year 1857 by Mr. Shiv Seth Narayan Birla. Ever since its inception, it has spread its reach across as many as 35 countries worldwide. The company has also spread itself across a variety of businesses, many of which are so familiar with us, so much so, that we may even be using them in our day to day lives. For example, UltraTech cement, which ABG had acquired from L&T in 2004, is one of their most commonly used products. As 20 somethings, we are genuinely concerned about how we present ourselves to the outside world, and in doing so, style or fashion plays a very vital role. ABG’s firm Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. introduced the now well-renowned brands like Louis Philippe, Allen Solly, Van Heusen, Peter England, etc. which revolutionized the casual as well as the formal attire of Indian people. In addition to this, it also acquired exclusive online and offline rights for the brand ‘Forever 21’, which is being considered as a rapidly trendsetting brand in India, especially among youngsters. ABG has spread itself across almost every dimension there is to find really, and it’s doing exceedingly well in each of the different business aspects too. Even if we consider the part which we, as individuals of society fail to recognize, is the part of giving back to the society, ABG has done tremendous work in the field of CSR, working in over 5000 villages, treating over a million people of various diseases, providing midday meals for over 63000 children across 260+ schools, and so much more. I would like to conclude by stating that, indeed, ABG is paving the way for building a better, sustainable way of life, and is doing a wonderful job at it.
Life has been a roller coaster ride in its truest sense for each one of us. It has given us the crests, it has shown us the troughs so that even when soaring high, we remain connected to our rounds like the banyan tree which is deeply connected to its roots. However, we have all had experiences where we found stuck and could not move ahead until we showed immeasurable courage and willpower to move ahead of it.
This industrial pioneer has always kept iterating in our lives and our history has evolved with each generation and has left an indelible impact on our lifestyle.
