Ready To Take On The World - Mrunali Ahirrao, SIBM Pune

It was the year of 2014. I remember that period as vividly like it happened yesterday. I had enrolled myself in BMS course and the college had just started. After a lot of hesitation and confusion, I had made up my mind to keep aside all my insecurities and take up a course that had everything I feared – Presentations, Networking with people and the one thing I dreaded the most – Public Speaking. For someone who has always preferred staying in her own cocoon, shutting the outside world to minimize human interaction because flying to mars sounded more realistic and easier to her than talking to new people and engaging them into a conversation for more than five minutes, a lot of contemplation went into thinking what if taking up this course was a huge mistake? What if I fail? But I had made up my mind this time, I am going to change, I have to stop just existing and actually start living. This is how began my journey to a new life.

Let's Reach For Beyond The Sun - Malhar Kadam, SIBM Pune

From ‘pantaloons’ as a kid to ‘Peter England’ as a grown adult, Aditya Birla Group has somehow miraculously managed to keep abreast with my 25 years of existence on this planet. Of course, there were times when the connection seemed a little weak or lost for a brief moment, but that’s when Idea cellular came to the rescue and made it even stronger. But having said all that, it wasn’t until my early twenties when I actually got the holistic view of these brands under the cap of big bad ABG. That’s when I started acknowledging these brands as one entity. It’s indeed funny how the casual attitude portrayed by me towards these brand as a child and teenager, has now as culminated into feeling of Awe. This 'awe' is nothing but an epitome of the herculean impact that ABG as a brand has made.

Dangal Of Life - The ABG Way - Puru Rajput, SIBM Pune

Anything becomes big in someone’s life when it has the power to transform and bring a positive change in their life and Aditya Birla group in each of its offerings tries to create that impact in the lives of millions.Whether it is Infrastructure sector where they are helping the nation to build better roads,bridges or Financial sector where with the launch of Payments bank they have played their part to increase financial inclusion by giving services such as small savings accounts, payment or remittance services to migrant labour workforce, low income households, small businesses and unorganised sector .ABG is also one of the corporate groups that has responsibly stood up to protect the environment.These examples highlight the importance of this group in India’s economy and everyone keeps reading that in newspapers on a daily basis but one offering of this group that has really enabled and empowered my life and millions of other lives is, Health Insurance.India is one of the countries where least importance is given to Health Insurance ,we Indians spend lakhs on marriages , cars but buying an insurance policy is least in our priority list.I was 22 and was diagnosed with dengue in 2015, leading to a critical condition of liver dysfunctioning. The hospital expenses were increasing on a daily basis and it would have become a huge burden for my family and we would have been in debt. Our future would not have been secure if I had not taken, Aditya Birla Group Health insurance policy. That one decision to be part of the policy, not only saved me but also saved precious effort and money for my family.ABG really helped me to stand up again in my life and enabled me to move forward to chase my dreams again.Thanks ABG .As ABG team strives hard each day to provide services and create an impact in someone’s life same way every member of the family tries to work hard in some or other way and contribute to empower the family.After completing my 12th class I wanted to prepare for IIT /NIT examination and be part of an environment that will help me grow and my family, but because of poor financial condition of my family at that time it was not possible to pay heavy fees of coaching institutes. I was in a dilemma, at that point I had two choices, either to leave my dream and join state engineering colleges or to fight for 20 seats that Resonance, one of the premier coaching centres providing coaching for engineering entrance examinations, provided full fee waiver for if one qualified in there all India test. I decided to take the latter and prepared hard for all India Resonance exam and got into those 20 seats and was given full tuition fee waiver.This fight of mine where no one believed me,made me realize that even with limited resources in life you can achieve what you want given that you believe in yourself.

How ABG Has Impacted My Life - Vidish Srivastava, NMIMS Mumbai

Aditya Birla Capital has helped my father is realizing his dream. His dream of building a house became a reality with the help of home finance division of the Aditya Birla Capital. The quality of service and the ease with which the loan was disbursed were some of the features which I liked the most. The accessibility of the salesperson, his helpful nature and how diligently he solved all the doubts my father had regarding the process is the reason why my father rates the service so highly and has even recommended the housing solutions to some his friends also.

Van Heusen – Clothing Makes A Man – Anirudh Chauhan, MDI Gurgaon

In order to live a fulfilled life one of the key requirements of a person is clothing. At times in clothing,  people choose comfort over quality but at the occasions when we have to look our best then certainly for men the Formal clothes come into play. Be it a wedding or an interview or day to day life at office the safest, most easy to wear and certainly the most attractive looking clothes are the classic suits. And in addition to that the combination of a classic shirt and a trouser along with leather shoes preferably black can be found in the wardrobe of every corporate man. Hence one has to be very choosey for the brand one picks for his corporate life clothing. Personally, for me Van Heusen was the one.
