The Day I Almost Died & Got Resurrected By A Little Bird - Tanay Kumar Singh, IIM Udaipur

I tried to run as soon as I grasped the fact that the situation could turn into something much more dangerous than a few scratches. Unfortunately, the floor was doing a perfect imitation of the Pacific sea, and my foot went right out from under me. My head banged against the very stone bench I was admiring a minute earlier. The cobwebs of unconsciousness enveloped me.

I woke to the loud chirping from one of the ventilators and saw a little yellow bird serenading her love for the dying sun. After taking inventory of all my possessions, I made my great escape from the same narrow window I had entered from. I went up the four flights of stairs and down another staircase to the courtyard and brought the ball back to the TT court like a good Samaritan. They never noticed. For all my troubles, I received a bump on the head and an invaluable life-lesson.

Which company of Aditya Birla Group would I like to work with?

The enterprise which interests me the most from Aditya Birla Group is the Hindalco Industries. I have chosen Operations and Supply Chain Management as my speciality and career path. Hindalco Industries, being the world’s largest aluminium rolling company and one of the largest aluminium producing companies, is the epitome of operational excellence through which I would better myself and understand the quality standards & procedures followed by a global AA-rated company. I also have Finance as my secondary domain, where I could add to the company value by applying my knowledge and skills to better the enormous cash flow process. With its strong presence in general insurance, equity, currency, and commodity broking, Aditya Birla would prove out to be a perfect launchpad for me in learning nuances of diverse roles.
