I Will Not Go Down Without A Fight! - Niketshyam Agrawal, NMIMS Mumbai
Taking up challenges and working on my incapability has been my attitude towards life.
Taking up challenges and working on my incapability has been my attitude towards life.
A premium global conglomerate as big as Aditya Birla Group directly affects, not just mine, but the lives of millions of people all over the world. With its roots extended in all major marketable good sectors, Aditya Birla Group owns a fair amount of market share in all the sectors it has laid its foundation in. 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 Group journey across many a milestone to emerge as a multinational power-brand of statesman stature, in the matter of just two decades.
My life has been a roller coaster ride so far. I have faced a lot of ups and downs in my journey. But the one thing which has helped me throughout my sojourn is the ability to believe in myself, no matter what circumstances I find myself in. I am a firm believer in hard work and perseverance and feel that any challenge can be overcome, given that you are ready to devote yourselves completely to the task at hand.
I was quite academically sound in school, having received academic Incentive prize for 11 consecutive years. I slogged hard to get admitted into the prestigious NIT Nagpur eventually. However, during my 1st year of engineering, I became complacent, and all my excellence turned into mediocrity. I was losing confidence in myself. That was quickly reflected in my drastic drop in grades. But I realised that mediocrity and complacency are the most substantial challenges in my pursuit of excellence. I regained my interest in quizzing, prepared hard and went on to win multiple national level quizzing competitions by the time I completed my engineering. The primary lesson I learnt is that complacency always breeds mediocrity and steals one’s potential. To stay away from it, HUSTLE!
Aditya Birla Group is one of India’s largest conglomerates. Housed under its umbrella are various subsidiaries such as Ultratech Cement, Hindalco Ltd, Grasim Ltd, Aditya Birla Fashion, Vodafone Idea Ltd, and many more BIG entities. If we see the day to day lives of individuals, ABG touches almost every aspect of it. Be it our homes, automobiles, public transport, clothing and apparel, etc.
To have a successful life is good, but to have a successful life after challenges is the true victory. Our challenges make us who we are, because we learn, only when we make mistakes. One such challenge I faced during my 12th standard when I got into bad company and lost my focus towards my studies. I couldn’t clear the competitive exams and as a result of that I had to take a drop of one year for preparation. Having fallen down and lost it all, there seemed to be no hope for me.
Just as the sunlight streams in through my beautifully crafted Eternia windows, I leap out of bed and start my day with a healthy sandwich from my kitchen (just Delice!), relishing the fact that the veggies have been nourished by Birla Balvan fertilizers. I take a moment to decide which suit I would like to wear between the ones from Allen Solly and Peter England (a tough choice) hanging in my cupboard. I finally decide to go with my favourite, a crisp blue one. I pack my lunch with some Freshwrapp foil and voila, I am ready for the day ahead at college.
