Right from its inception in 1857, Aditya Birla group worked with a vision and commitment to provide superior value to the customers and society. The group operates in 14 industry sectors and has achieved leadership in several businesses.
Aditya Birla Group has been greatly connected to my life in many ways as it offers a myriad of brands that go just beyond a product. My very first memory of the conglomerates’ impact in my life is Hindalco’s freshwrapp, it made it possible that I could enjoy the freshness of my mother’s food even after a long day at school.
UltraTech cement is India’s largest cement producer and provides a range of products. It was the first choice of my father when we had to make our house. Besides this, ABGSLMF the financial services arm of ABG provides variety of mutual fund products to safeguard the investor needs in various risk categories.
It offers 14 apparel brands and brands like Forever 21, Louis Phillipe, Allen Solly ,to name a few, has been my first choice as the variety offered by these brands is unmatched. Even Van Heusen was my first choice to buy formal wear for my first day at IIFT and I can’t explain how confident I felt that day.
Additionally, it also provides innovative banking features like BHIM UPI, it has significantly made my life comfortable as I can send/receive money from my parents with just a click of a button.
Today the Aditya Birla Group is a $40 billion (Rs.2.45 trillion) corporation and many of the group firms are in the league of Fortune 500 companies. It was possible only because it has the drive to grow with ambition and succeed along with failing.
Challenge
“If your instinct is to run away from failures, then perhaps you are doing it the wrong way” – Kumar Mangalam Birla.
The above quote represents not just a string of words but it signifies attitude. While I was growing up I had major health issues, I was so weak that I could not even exercise as I would collapse due to breathlessness. Hence, I used to miss playing with friends on the ground. One day I saw on TV that how yoga can improve health and body immunity. Henceforth, I started working on my health and I used to exercise daily. Slowly and steadily, I gained stamina and went on to join lawn tennis team of my school. I became so good in my game that I played several tournaments and won medals for my school. I became the state level lawn tennis player. Going forward I was selected as the captain of my college lawn tennis team.
So I could overcome the challenges that I faced due to my health with consistent effort, perseverance and physical workout. I had made my mind that I will get better and was determined to live a healthy life. I believe the sportsman spirit and strong will kept me going and after that I never looked back.
So one should never stop trying and should never limit one’s thinking as everything is possible. The most important thing for a human being is his health so one must take out time for oneself everyday.
