Aditya Birla Group - "Big in Your Life"
ABG has always been special to me ever since I entered the earth. Being born in a house built using the finance of Aditya Birla Housing Finance Limited, I have always wondered how someone could make such a significant impact in a person’s life. I’ve always looked upon ABG as something huge, loud and held firm, just as how UltraTech cement hold our house strong and rigid. ABG has inspired my aim to run a conglomerate and now, they are even more inspiring. Feeding people when they cannot afford is a ‘GOD’ rated service, and ABG is doing a great job feeding 63000 children across 268 schools. ABG is not only giving food to kids but also help them study despite their poverty and the underdeveloped environment by providing solar-powered LED lamps. Schools for them? YES again! The way kids enjoy their learning in the 56 schools ABG has been running. Unemployment is a major problem in India, and yeah, they have plans for that too. They have been skill training 95000+ people, which has changed the fate of many people in rural households. Hospitals of high quality were built, and ABG also serves as the ‘Apollo’ Goddess of India. Now I stand, wishing to run a conglomerate in the future just like ABG is now; creating impact with their products in the minds of people and creating more significant effects on their hearts as well.
Aditya Birla Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate with headquarter in Mumbai and Sh. Kumarmangalam Birla as its chairman. I am very proud to confess that this group has been clothing me for the last at least 10 years. I have been such a great fan of Van Heusen and Louis Philippe clothes that I would not even see other brands’ clothes even for variety sake. Idea was my first mobile service provider as the connection was provided free during our welcome ceremony at Thapar University where I graduated from. Now, coincidently, I am using a Vodafone mobile connection and such is my loyalty for the company that despite poor network in our area, I continue to run onto the road for listening to phone calls. To top it all, I suggested Aditya Birla Mutual fund to my father about three months back when he wanted to invest in SIP. Again, while renovating our house, only Ultra Tech cement was used although the construction got stuck up sometimes due to its non-availability. My grandfather would often refer to one Shri M.S. Surana who was who was a highly placed official at HINDALCO, Renukoot and was hi close friend. Such is my association with Aditya Birla Group and its influence on my life.
