“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.” And maybe this is true. If I wear a new dress on a day, I am extra happy. Of course the dress needs to look good otherwise I wouldn't have bought the dress, but also it should be comfortable. And from where do I get all of these? Pantaloons it is! It is just the go-to shop for me. Be it any kind of dress, accessories, bags or shoes, I know Pantaloons will have it.
One of the most prominent challenges I faced during my childhood was obesity. Being fat-shamed wasn’t one of the most fun ways to be called out. I realized the problem in my fourth grade. I, being a naïve kid, sometimes wished for my obesity to go away and didn’t work in particular towards it.
A quarter of a century of my life has passed and here I am, finally pursuing MBA at one of the most prestigious colleges in India. Notice how I mention “finally”, this has always been a dream, reaching here has been an adventure.

Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life :
Is this even a question? I wake up in the morning and turn on the internet on my mobile phone, courtesy Vodafone. Whenever I have to attend an important meeting, give a presentation to my class or sit for any interview; I look for my VanHeusen formal suit in the wardrobe. Once I had to buy supplies for the renovation of my house, the first thing that we picked up was cement, and not just any cement, Ultratech Cement. Whenever I go shopping, the first store I go to is Pantaloons. Whenever I want to pamper myself, I dress up in a cute outfit from Forever21. My major aspiration is to gift my dad, a full business suit from Louis Philippe with my first salary. When I was in Jhansi, and there were very few big brands over there, my go to place was People, where I could feel that I could get the true value of my money.
