My life has been different from others since the very beginning it had been defined by my father’s job in Merchant Navy he used to stay overseas for extended periods of times and communication was extremely difficult, only when he was on ports and then to we could have only limited conversation because of the high prices charged, we used to communicate through letters and the brief scarce phone calls. Communication had such huge barriers. However since my mother changed her number to idea (now Vodafone idea Ltd.) we have been able to communicate very easily and for extended periods. Our lives have changed so drastically, now we feel that my father is just one phone call away, ABG has literally helped bring families closer. My father due to his absence for 6-8 months a year trusted the Aditya Birla Capital limited to invest money, he trusted them with all investments made through the portfolio management services provided by them. He knew our money would be handled with utmost care and caution keeping in mind our well-being. My father trusted Aditya Birla Group since the very beginning having utmost faith in the services they provide knowing that we were in good hands. This also enabled my father to invest in Aditya Birla Sun Life mutual fund after much research and deliberation. Since the very beginning my father has been very interest in finance and learnt a lot on his own reading researching, I have seen him take sound and calculated decisions in finance. This early introduction to taking smart, far sighted, calculated and well researched decisions by my father had me interested in finance. I knew I wanted to do an MBA very clearly while doing my graduation in economics. I prepared for CAT and in my first attempt I did not perform very well, it being a drop year that I took specifically for preparation due to being in a bad place and not proper planning I could not perform well, I got into mediocre colleges however I wished to study in one of the top 10 colleges of the country. I took a leap and decided to give CAT once again, this time I decided to take smart decisions and enrolled in a finance course with University of London International Programs while preparing once again this time with a completely different positive mind set. After preparing again, this time I did way better than before and prepared really well, I was finally able to get into MDI Gurgaon. I was thus faced with an impasse after my first attempt and could have given up and settled yet I decided to take the more difficult and a path with ups and down yet I was focused and decided to thread through the harder path. This year of hard work taught me a lot, I believe this year of difficulty taught me to not give up and approach life optimistically in a positive way, as I believe you are who you think you are . As rightly said by Henry Ford If you think you can do it or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.
