Overcoming Challenges - Aditti Agarwal, NMIMS Mumbai
Born and brought up in western Mumbai, right in the epicenter of the city, Andheri, I have not only been accustomed to the roads developed using UltraTech Cement, but also the standing evidence of the 5.6-kilometer-long Bandra - Worli Sea Link, constructed in the Arabian Sea, supported by UltraTech pillars, which helps to connect the city of Mumbai, wonderfully. Having my family office and maternal family residing in South Mumbai, using the sea link has been mandatory while travelling, as it provides my family and me with convenience, safety and reduction in our journey time. UltraTech Cement has been the backbone during this ambitious infrastructural construction and fueled the development of strong pillars to endure the raging waves of the Arabian sea. The most congested city of Mumbai was provided with a huge helping hand as this route reduced the massive forty minutes of travel from Bandra to Worli to only ten minutes. Moreover, having my home right outside a metro station, on the Versova - Ghatkopar metro route, I started considering to visit the shopping mall located at Ghatkopar, exclusively because of the development of metro and simultaneously, getting comfort and saving upon my time. The journey time came down from one hour to twenty-five minutes. I also see my father commuting to work, solely by the metro, every single day and when asked about his views, the three words which are always spoken about are, quick, safe and relaxing. Helping and serving approximately 3-4 lakh commuters each day, UltraTech has not only made Mumbaikars lives more comfortable, but also helped every single being travel faster, helping them have a better quality of life in this fast-paced city.
