ADITYA BIRLA GROUP

ADITYA BIRLA GROUP

I am a person who used to depend on my parents for everything. Even my clothes that I used to wear would be selected and bought by my parents by inquiring about my interests. Not even once until my secondary education did I feel the need to go shopping for clothes. When I joined in IIT Madras, that was my first time leaving my family for a period of four years. This was when I realized how dependent I was on my parents and started to work things through on my own. One of the most challenging tasks was to buy clothes on my own since I didn’t have prior experience. This is when Pantaloons made my life easier. They made sure their stores are at the places where most of their target market is present. As a result, I could find the store easily and the quality of the apparel is very high for the prices that they sell them for which is a bonus for me. I have also taken a Pantaloon platinum card after a couple of visits to the store. Even now Pantaloons is my go-to offline store for my apparel. I even persuaded my friends to visit the store. The fact that 70% of the brands being sold in Pantaloons are owned by the company itself, it shows the value they give to their products.

ABG-Bridging the gap between people (IIM Ranchi)

Being such a huge conglomerate, it's hardly possible that your life must have gone by without using even a single product of the Brand Aditya Birla Group. My life has had a similar impact. Ranging from lifestyle to construction material, this brand has its footprints in a variety of industries. Only Recently did I realize the Aditya Birla Group has played a pivotal role in my life right from the first day of college to my first interview.In my childhood, we used to move around a lot as my dad was working in a government job. During those times, it was really hard to accommodate to new surroundings and even harder to maintain friendships. As soon as we moved to a different town, it used to become almost impossible to keep in contact with my friends owing to the distance. It was all going to change soon though. My parents had gifted me a mobile phone on my 13th birthday. Soon after I realized that Idea was the only decent service provider in my area (Uttar Pradesh). My life soon became a bliss because my friends with whom I had long lost contact suddenly were just a call away. I would no longer have to cut ties with my friends just because we were far apart. This feeling is really something which is hard to describe in words. Apart from this, I had access to one of the best artificial teachers of mankind - The Internet. I was able to perform well in studies thanks to the online courses that I was able to access using 'Idea'. This experience helped me in becoming more socially active rather than behaving just like an inert gas.

Growing up, FMS

I still remember the day in crisp detail. It was the first day of placement season in my undergrad college. I was attending my first ever pre-placement talk. And it happened to be my dream company at the time. I still remember that day in minute detail. Nervous jitters the night before, waking up 2 hours before my alarm clock was supposed to ring, pacing up and down my room revising anything and everything I’d learned, being excited and nervous at the same time. I distinctly remember taking out crisp and pressed shirt my mother bought me from Allen Solly and trousers to go with it. I remember the smooth fabric hugging me like a blanket, making me feel safe while still making me look elegant. I was transformed into the person I wanted to be. This was the suit of armor I was going to wear to fight for my chance at this crossroads in life. The moment I put those clothes on, my inhibitions went away. I felt confident, ready to take on any challenge thrown at me. I went on to excel in my group discussion and interview rounds. I displayed presence of mind and coolness in that stressful situation so that my hard work could shine. And I ended up converting my first company. This was the impact a simple piece of cloth had in my life. So many years later, I still have that shirt in my closet and will keep it for years to come.
