From Being Pampered To Becoming Independent - Shweta Sachdeva, IIM Visakhapatnam

So, now this is about my challenging journey of P2I transformation, that is, from a Pampered kid of the family to an Independent woman. Being youngest in the family, I was always the most pampered one. I did my schooling and under graduation from my hometown only. So, I always stayed at home. I never had any experience of how it is to live on your own, managing everything yourself, taking care of yourself and establishing your career outside the comfort zone of home. I was working in an IT consultancy service, which was again near my home only. Living in NCR, everything was in my area only. I never got any chance to step out of the small world that I had created. I was very comfortably living in that and resisted any change.

But then I realized that my potential and capabilities were getting wasted. I was not growing because of this. So, I challenged myself, I challenged that little girl in me to transform into an independent lady who can achieve whatever she wants, provided enough efforts are put into. So, I started preparing for CAT exam and finally converted IIM Visakhapatnam. Now, here I am living on my own expenses, taking care of myself and doing hard work towards academics and extra activities. This is making me evolve into an empowered woman of strength and dignity.

During this evolving and empowering journey of mine, ABG has always been an inspiration. The efforts that Aditya Birla Group put in to empower women is commendable. They help women connect and grow together. This group provides women diverse platform to excel in life. So, here I am proud of Aditya Birla Group for empowering women and proud of myself for empowering myself. Now, I am confident enough to deal with any situation of life and grow along with it.

Sumit Kumar Choudhary , IIM-Visakhapatnam , 2019-21. I cannot be encapsulated in words rather I need action to define myself. Choice of language plays an inevitable role in expressing oneself and when you believe that verbal means are the only way left for you then you need to start all over again to understand "Who is you?' and 'What means of expression suits you best'. Peter F. Drucker said that you should know your weakness and I know that I am reticent with my words but I am equally best and articulate when expressed in terms of actions.

Nice write up shweta
