Initially it was hard for me to even comprehend the fact that people can succeed simultaneously in two, three or four fields because till now, my narrow-minded perception always made me believe that something like this is practically impossible. I simply thought that if I am pursuing anything besides studies it will affect my academics and that always stopped me from trying anything different.
Never ever something like this had changed my perception and beliefs; it brought a completely new challenge for me. The challenge was not just to compete with such brilliant people but to be a better individual overall, to achieve things by going beyond my comfort level.
Thus in next five years, I tried things that brought uncertainty, demanded different kind of preparation and pushed me to different unexplored levels.
The challenge that I took then is the single most significant reason of me being a part of an IIM today. It prepared me for today, by making me a better person overall on a personal as well as professional level. Looking back, I could easily see that had I not challenged myself, I would have either succumbed in CAT exam preparation or would have bottled an interview or group discussion.
I just don’t myself here if I would have continued to live my life in a haze.
Aditya Birla Group:
It would be an honor to join the Aditya Birla Group after completing my post graduation from the institute. Since I have interest in strategy and consulting, I would like to join the accounts or commercial team that implements policies. It will be an excellent platform for me as a fresher and will help me improve my skill-set in numerous ways.
