Life is full of challenges and obstacles, we as humans are empowered with us the grit to overcome it. It is only then can we truly call ourselves as HUMANS. Each one of us is bestowed with the power to realistically overcome these challenges but we fall short of achieving what is required when time comes calling. One such instance happened with me during my initial work days, when I was in-charge of hosting the annual AmaZonia Treasure hunt (conducted for new onboarded teams as part of New Hire Orientation). Being in-charge of the activity gave a whole new perspective to the role assigned. It involved coordination & delegation of responsibilities with other departments to successfully organize the event. Being a graduate fresh out of college coupled with lack of enough managerial experience caused anxious moments in me. During the implementation phase of the activity, I had 48 hours to chalk up a plan, install various check points, and prepare multi focal points to find clues. I underwent a SWOT analysis & I identified my Forte & my areas of improvement. SWOT analysis is the best way to hone on your weaknesses & gives clarity on what to do next. Subsequently I successfully conducted the said task & was also appreciated by my team's manager for evoking a huge round of applause. On that day, I realized that GIVING UP is an option, but is best not served. Though it might sound highly cliched, but the reality is NOT TO GIVE UP, if anything is realistically achievable. This episode of my life taught me the immense value of persistence, determination & grit.
From the sand dunes of Pilani to the scrappers of Mumbai, the one brand whose presence can be felt throughout the country can be none other than the Aditya Birla Group. The group’s history can be traced back to more than 150 years from the town of Pilani in Rajasthan, where the founding father of India’s industries Shri G.D. Birla was born. It was his vision to make India the powerhouse of the world and it’s the result of his vision that AB Group is an indispensable part of life not only in India but across 34 countries across the globe. The group’s brands all aspects of human life ranging from fashion retail to Telecom to Financial Services. The most important aspect of the group that distinguishes itself is that all of its companies has evolved as the “New India”has emerged. The Vodafone Idea Limited is he prime example of the role the corporation has played in India’s transformation as the leading digital economy while also being the 2ndlargest Telecom company in the world.

Aditya Birla Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate with 120000 employees operating in 35 countries worldwide.
Aditya Birla Group has been part of my family’s life since a very long time. From the time we build our house to purchasing our daily groceries. I live in a small Town in Kerala and Planet Fashion was one of the very first branded apparel outlets in the town. For the first time we had easy access to the brands such as Van Heusen, Peter England and so on. Until then, we had to travel over 50 kms to have access to these brands.
