ABG – Spearheading Sustainability while spreading smiles | Avinash Sachdev, MDI Gurgaon

General notions and biases get formed when people meet a person from Gujarati, Sindhi or Marwadi community. Blind assumptions are made that they would be from a business background only and engage in firms that are built to last for generations. I, myself being a Sindhi, can completely relate to these assumptions people make. But the assumptions are there for a reason. Many parents want their child to follow their father without asking them what THEY want to become in life. My father being one of those parents, wanted or rather commanded me to continue our family business without even considering what I plan to do with my life or how I want to live my life. On the other hand, I have always dreamed of a career in the corporate world. As a result, along with contributing to the family business, I started preparation for the entrance exams of Management courses. I managed books, time and spirit to make my dream walk towards reality. As my father was not in favor for this part, this thing shined as a grave secret between me, my mother, and sister. Through perseverance, hard work and a lot of coffee I managed to crack the entrance exams. I vividly remember, the day I told my father about everything, his shocked face which emerged out not only because I had kept the secret for so long, but also due to the realization of him being so rigid. He gave me a hug and this is one such hug that I can relive anytime by just closing my eyes. Presently, making it to one of the best B-schools in India I can proudly say that I have come this far, but still have miles to go before I reach my destination.

While the answer to the question whether or not I have heard of ADITYA BIRLA GROUP (ABG) is very obvious. The answer to the question why am I fascinated by it is not. So, to make that obvious, let me take you on a short journey. I would like to begin this journey with a quote that pretty much defines what I believe in.

My Life, My Story - Prarthna Tandon, NMIMS

My father is in a transferable job and we had to frequently shift residence from one part of the country to another. This presented a huge challenge and I have had to change several schools. By the time you settle down and have a group of friends, it’s time to move on again. Different schools had varying curriculum and different ways of teaching a subject. Even the third language offered in schools was different when we were transferred rom Mumbai to Delhi.

How I overcame obstacles to achieve my ambitions-Aanchal Dham,NMIMS Mumbai

My journey from being an introvert to an ambivert of sorts has been a roller coaster ride. Always considered to be an average student, I always aspired to do something big and achieve something that you won’t normally expect an introverted average student to achieve. It was during my 10th standard that I decided to change that image of mine and achieve the unexpected. I always had the dream of getting my photo published in the newspaper by way of being at the top of my class. I participated aggressively in class discussions, worked comprehensively in group projects, practiced my weakest subjects all day long and focused so much that no external force could bother me. I always knew from the bottom of my heart that my hard work would give me the desired results and I would  fulfill my dream of rising above others and I eventually did. 30th May is the date that I would never forget because it is the day that actually gave a new meaning to my life. This is the day when I, no longer was considered to be an average student rather everybody started looking at me with a certain respect. But, this just changed one aspect of my image. I was still the introverted person. This was something that became a very big hurdle in my life. I was there at the top of my class but still I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and actually wanted to talk to people. Three years passed by and I knew what I wanted next, an admission to one of the premier B-schools. But, this required clearing of rounds like group discussions. Now came the real test in my life where I had to no matter what come out of my comfort zone and actually talk to random people. All I had to do was to focus on my goal and the job was done. During the group discussions, I started to speak so much that now I stand at a completely different road, a road I thought I would never see but here I am, in my dream college. When now I look back to that phase in my life I realize that my fears were just learning lessons and now I stand strong enough to face come what may.
