ABG has its imprints on over 35 countries and has touched millions of lives, I am going to shed light on one of them here. My connect with ABG started when I went to a different city from my hometown to pursue my graduation and it was mandatory for me to have a mobile phone through which I can stay connected with my family every time. Idea: My 1st cellular connection, it showed me how precious it is to see the word “HOME” blink on my calling screen no matter whether I am in the middle of a desert or under a cellular base station. Life went on and the time came when there were companies visiting my campus for placements and the basic requirements for me to be selected not only just knowledge but also proper dress code, and being from a middle-class family I refuse to compromise on the quality and difficult to find a balance between both (price and quality) and that’s where ABG came to the rescue, after putting on that Peter England’s formals, which filled me with confidence, eventually resulted in me getting that Job, well I also studied a little along with that, let it not sound like a cliché scene from a Karan Johar movie :-P.
Quite palpably, our appearance has a huge role to play in the impression we leave on people’ mind and the way we are perceived in everyday life both personally and professionally. In fact, as per a national poll conducted by the Centre for Professional Excellence at York College, Pennsylvania, appearance ranked second only to communication for qualities most often associated with professionalism. Although many organisations today promote casual dressing, I believe that dressing formally at work, not only creates a positive visual image but it also helps boosts self-confidence by reinforcing ones skills and qualities in the eyes of their employer, co-workers and clients. Aditya Birla’s Allen Solly was my go to brand during my three years of professional career at Deloitte Consulting. I love the their garments sit on my body. My sense of dressing was often complemented by my seniors and peers at workplace. The plethora of colours and fabric patterns offered in their professional clothing range makes one spoiled for choice.Over the years, Allen Solly has been credited to transform the dressing lifestyles of professionals in India by providing them an opportunity to make a fashion statement at work. It has progressed swiftly in the past years, and has accomplished a proximate position in the highly competitive readymade market within a short span of time. It has also ventured into kid’s apparels (“Allen Solly Junior”) and accessories. The idea of Friday dressing at workplace has been revolutionized by this brand.Its tagline “My World My Way”, resonates with every professional.SJMSOM - Drive to make an ImpactComing from a traditional Marwari household, doing a job and enrolling for an MBA programme was a huge challenge for me. As a child, I had always aspired to be an independent working women. I have always seen my mother asking my father for money if she needed to buy anything. It was never that my father refused her for anything, I never liked the idea of being dependent on someone husband/father for finances. However, my relatives and grandparents, due to their orthodox roots were never supportive of my ideas and beliefs. Despite huge family pressure and tensions at home, I got to do a job after I finished my graduation. However, I still lacked financial independence. Apart from doing my regular job at office, there were times I was asked to attend client meetings and networking dinners outside my workplace for which I was never given permission at home. This I believe has caused a huge setback to my career.My thought of doing masters was not welcomed by my family. It took me a while to convince them. In college, I was extremely good at my academics, and had managed to secure first place in my university. I had a passion to learn more about some of my engineering subjects and wanted to do an M.S degree from a reputed university abroad. My family refused point blank. It took me a while to convince them for an MBA degree. They eventually agreed for it as long as I would be staying in my hometown Hyderabad. It took me a lot of time to convince them of staying in a different city to pursue my MBA. All my hard-work paid off eventually, and I got through School of Management, IIT Bombay.
Aditya Birla Group, a name synonymous with the growth of this country since before the country was independent. Present in nearly every major industry, fueling the growth of the nascent country's economy, ABG has been omnipresent in every sphere of my life.
A vision becomes a milestone when it touches millions of life every single day”. Aditya birla group (ABG) has not only seen this vision but has proved it to be a milestone by being the third largest indian private sector conglomerate with variety of products and services across 14 industries. We all perceive a strong sense of an identity of a product or a service of an organization, and for me it is the aditya birla group. ABG is truly a pioneer in touching our lives by influencing our lives from micro to macro levels.
I have been honing my personality from my days at school. All my achievements in academics, extra-curricular activities & sports have been towards attaining the skills like integrity, having foresight, ability to inspire, coordinate and effective team building while gaining technical expertise alongside. I love change and always embrace it. Change gives an opportunity for everyone to make an impact in the world. I wish to leverage the change and move ahead with full throttle. I have a habit of developing relationships with people who are very different than me. The differences include biological, physical, functional, political, cultural and socioeconomic. I am courageous enough to abandon a practice that has made me successful in the past.
Being born in a small town there was not much option available while purchasing clothes and only shops with limited option was present. After a while we shifted to a new place and there was a mall near by which had big stores with comparatively more options but this was also accompanied by price tags of high value so we were back purchasing clothes from private shops.
