PART A:

The Unsaid Partner - Vaishali Chandani, IIM Visakhapatnam

I come from a family with business in its veins.  I have seen my family business rising and falling and again rising, since my childhood.  But what remained constant was its unheard, unsaid and untold partners, the invisible force behind its success. My father is in the business of manufacturing and selling bricks. The brick- making industry is highly fragmented. What makes it grow, is the overall growth in the construction market. And this growth was possible because of the presence of UltraTech, India’s largest cement company, the number one producer of ready mix concrete, grey and white cement in India. The penetration and reach that Aditya Birla Cement has, has not only helped built homes, but also commercial and government offices, the reasons why a town becomes a city!

How Doing The Same Thing Differently Makes A Difference - Arunabh Podder, MDI Gurgaon

Founded over 160 years ago in a small village in Pilani, Rajasthan , ABG has come a long way to currently become India’s third largest private sector conglomerate. Historically ABG has been associated with the freedom struggle , setting up of Indian industry as well as putting India on the world map by becoming the first Indian Private multinational. ABG has been associated with my family since the generation of my grand fathers’. But what does the company do, that makes a difference? With over 160 years of heritage the name comes with an emotion. Guided by its mission , To provide superior value to customers , shareholders and employees, it goes the extra mile to show that the company cares about people and genuinely so. In my childhood I would hear great stories from my father , my grandfather adding along it,  about the Birla group going out of way to make things more comfortable for their employees. Perhaps that could be justified by the fact that it received the award for being “The Best Employer in India and among the top 20 in Asia” , probably because it cared. My father did so while he got ready for office wearing his Grasim suit. When you hear so many dazzling stories , you build a very noble and generous image of the entity in mind.

Part A: How Aditya Birla Group is Big in my life?

Aditya Birla Group And Me - Dineshwara Manideepu, MDI Gurgaon

Childhood memories are the most cherished ones ever. I hail from Hyderabad and have lived near Khairthabad for more than 15 years. Every time we had to buy groceries, we used to shop at the More Supermarket nearby. That had been a place of purchase for most of the groceries. This store is always one which builds up a sense of nostalgia till the current day when I visit as it was my first supermart ever I have seen.

ABGL - Multitasking At Its Best | Abhishek Bauri, IIM Visakhapatnam

What are challenges? As for me there were challenges in each and every step of my career as of now. It helped me grew into a better person and see every thing from a different perspective. As I started my school days from a tiny village, everybody would question my parents for putting me into the English medium school. The neighbours or villagers would taunt me from that age. When I was in third grade, my parents fell very sick so they decided to me into a hostel as staying home is hampering my studies. Hostel life is the most beautiful life any person can have in their lifetime but from that age it’s hard for a little boy to adapt after knowing that their parents are not doing well. It took me several months to settle in but after that I can say that the life over there is one to remember. I learnt each and every aspect of life in those walls. For my graduation, I thought of going to a different state as I did my all my schooling in West Bengal. So, I thought it would be a good experience of learning some new culture and help me get a better perspective of life. But again it can’t be that simple, now the family members are giving a hard time to my parents and me, but I told my parents don’t listen to anyone as it’s my life I will do what I think is best for me for reaching the career goals I have in mind. In college, I didn’t have much to do till 5th semester, where I have to juggle up classes and also study for Cat. The experience was immense as the subjects I didn’t have knowledge were to be tested. In this period of time, I learnt the art of time management.
