I still remember vividly, asking Prashanth whether he would be comfortable in sharing the room with me or not. After his positive response, I made an effort to know him better and to ensure that he feels at home, literally! He turned out to be the complete opposite of what the stereotypes suggested. It just took him about 2 days to open up and I would like to credit myself for that. Such challenges excite me a lot as they test your adaptability to different people, places and situations, something my course (MBA) was also going to test at every point. Time management was also going to be integral and a lesson learned the hard way. I was happy and proud that I managed to pass with flying colors!
Which ABGP company would you like to join and why?
GRASIM (Aditya Birla Group)
Grasim Industries Limited is the flagship of the Aditya Birla Group. Now, this can be a big responsibility, when weighed against the legacy it has to support, and Grasim has been able to pull it off in style. It was conceived and introduced at the time of independence and taught the new, liberated India, how to dress up. Though India was a major textile exporter, it lacked an industry to manufacture finished products. At that time, the Aditya Birla Group decided to produce finely tailored clothing indigenously. I being someone who is extremely patriotic and at the same time, does not believe in compromising on quality, Grasim is my pick out of the spectacular range of companies the ABG group owns. I strongly associate with the core values of the group, and the strong ethics of Grasim-- possibly the best a man can get!
