How ABG Has Affected My Life - Dilrish Raveendran, TAPMI

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.

Challenges I Faced In My Life - Bharathi Kandepu, TAPMI

When I was working in IBM, I decided to pursue an MBA to fulfill my dreams. I attempted CAT in 2016 but couldn’t get a good percentile. I was depressed and sad as I worked hard and really wanted to do MBA. I was not able to concentrate on studies due to work pressure in office and shift issues. I realized if I plan to continue both job and studies for one more year, I may not be able to pursue MBA. So, I decided to quit my job and concentrate on studies. Many people at office suggested me not to quit the job because there is no guarantee that I will get good result next year and it would be tough for me to find another job. But with the support of my parents and friends, I took the decision and resigned to the job.

Doing an MBA in one of the top B-Schools in the country was one of my short-term ambitions in life. Coming from a Tier 3 city in the southern part of the country, an MBA concept was new to my family. After my B.E, I worked in an MNC company like most of the Engineers. I had a strong passion towards management. I had to contribute my entire salary to run my family. I could not enroll for CAT coaching centers like others due to financial constraints. Also, quitting a job and preparing for CAT was never a possible scenario for me as my family was largely dependent on me financially.

Aditya Birla Group has had a profound impact on my life. I have used its products for all my life. One of the most important products that the group has rolled out has been Idea Cellular. I have been using this network for the past 5 years and I can honestly say that the reason that I stuck to it despite easy portability to other networks was its fantastic reception. It had absolutely no network issues while other networks were troubled with frequent call drops. I think that is the reason that it has the maximum subscribers in rural India which prefers performance over shiny things.

I think the most important thing in life is to set short term goals and then to work towards achieving them with utmost honesty. The above quote is easier said than done with life throwing up so many challenges and situations where we are bound to lose focus and start off track. I experienced it early in life during my under graduation days where I got persuaded with so many distractions and couldn’t focus on academics, the main thing is was there for. I scored were badly in my first term exams and by the time the result was out I was engaged in so many extracurricular activities. My health was not in good condition pertaining to the constant weather change and I already had received a lot of criticism from my parents by not living up to the expectations. The term-2 exams were about to start and entire situation was too difficult to manage. I decided to give my best in everything I was involved no matter what. My human skills came at forte which helped me arranging the study material post that I started studying all night after devoting my time to other activities the entire day. This period of hardship continued for 2 weeks and as they say the end result is as important as the process I got some desired success. I secured top position in my class, published the paper I was working and successfully organized my college cultural fest. That period taught me a lot about time management and I still try to think of it whenever I feel work pressure.
