How I overcome challenges?
“Believe in yourself, take on the challenges head on, and dig deep within yourself to conquer your fears.”
My parents have always motivated me to become the best version of myself, to have faith in dire times and belief when the situation gets tough. Being a good student all through my school life, I was shocked to realize that I wasn’t able to perform well during my bachelor’s of technology. This was mainly due to the fact that I wasn’t able to give proper attention to all subjects. Although, my parents did not put any pressure on me, I could sense a hint of concern from them. I felt like everyone around me was excelling but I wasn’t up to that mark. I decided to take immediate action in this regard, and promised myself that this type of an incident should not happen to me ever again. I concentrated and gave my time to each subject, and didn’t lose hope at any time. My optimism and perseverance helped me achieving the goal and I finally got a grip of my grades, and never once let them tumble again.
After my graduation I started working for an IT start-up in the month of October. I was advised not to start working at this time since the entrance exams for MBA were approaching. I faced some difficulty in managing both my job and preparation but my persistent efforts and hard work helped me sailed through these exams. I found ways of studying and preparing while travelling in metro, and studying till late after coming home. This also taught me the importance of time management. Soon I received calls from various B-schools and my dream of joining IIFT came true.
I never view challenges as a disadvantage or a hurdle. Instead I view them as opportunities of becoming a stronger more balanced version of myself.

I love how you chose to not mention how the Birlas got the capital to setup the industry in the first place, i.e from the Opium trade. :D
