I still remember reading a beautiful line "We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges". It is inspirational, though most of us are not really challenge seekers. But the unpredictability of this life doesn’t provide much room for our inclinations, encountering challenges is inevitable, which was not different in my case.
After completion of my graduation, I joined a multinational company. It was a great learning experience and encouraged new thought processes. After 18 months, to broaden my scope I have decided to pursue my career in management. In India, obtaining admission in a premier business-school will begin with CAT preparation. I started my preparation from June 2018. I use to get only 2 hours of time every day for preparations and it was constantly shrinking my confidence. In September, I was fortunate enough to visit my company head quarters in Germany to attend a business conference. The lifestyle, weather and work culture impressed me to a great extent and I began to think about pursuing my masters in Germany. The dilemma to chose between the two options was consuming most of my CAT preparation time.
The exam date was near, I had to resolve my confusions and utilise my time effectively to reach my goal. I started reading career opportunities in both India and Germany, interacted with my colleagues and used my LinkedIn contacts to come to a conclusion. The next task was to increase my study time by preparing an effective time table. The flexible working time policy of my company helped me to extend my study hours. I utilised my time to the best possible extent and admitted to one of the best business-schools in India.
Why Adits Birla Group is big in my life?
Aditya Birla Group (ABG) is the biggest name in the business world. The diverse product ranges have enabled ABG to reach vast population of India. Apart from creating employment opportunity for 1,20,000 people, it is one of the biggest conglomerates which has exhibited greater social responsibility.
The most popular service offered by ABG is Idea Limited, which was the first mobile network provider I have ever used. It introduced me to the services such as messaging and internet. I still remember my first phone call, cheaper plans from Idea and availability in my town.
The other most popular product that comes to my mind is Peter England. I used to struggle a lot to buy casual shirts, as most of the brands were either too long or too small. The solution I found after a lot of search was Peter England. The brand which fits me well, good varieties and offers attractive discounts. Now the first store I visit, if I want to buy casual apparels is Peter England.
Apart from the two brands, many more services and products from ABG has impact our life indirectly, one such example is UltraTech cement. It might be the main ingredient in flyovers, office building, even my college buildings.
In my opinion, most of the individual in India definitely can name at least one product from ABG that has impacted their life. The initiatives in the areas such as health care, education, infrastructure and advancements in improving connectivity have enabled India to excel.
