So what makes ABG Big in My Life?
ABG goes way back when we were kids and used to carry lunch wrapped in Freshwrapp to schools. The memories of crumbling foil papers post lunch and corridor cricket practice runs through my mind as I write this article. I still remember, when first Pantaloons was inaugurated in my city - Guwahati in 2008, it was the only destination to shop internationally recognized fashion brands. Needless to say, how fashion enthusiast we North-Easterns are! Be it any festive occasion or someone else’s big fat wedding, Pantaloons was the only hot-spot for my shopping.
The table has now turned over the years. Being in my mid-20s, my parents jokingly keep telling how it is my responsibility to make sure if my younger sister has whatever she wants or else something bad may happen. The evil-minded sibling has taken it as her ‘Brahmastra’ to extort money from me every now and then. ABG too has made it easier for her by opening its 4th Pantaloons very near to our home along with recently launched 1st ‘Forever 21’ outlet in Guwahati. ABG, in a sense, has helped avoid adverse circumstances by preventing me from the wrath of my sister. It would be interesting to see how Big ABG can get in my life in the years to come.
How I overcame my challenges to achieve Big in Life so far?
I used to be a person who was never accustomed to taking risks or big life-related decision without any backups. I was employed in a highly paid Upstream company. I led a lavish and respectable life. But I had dreams and other better plans for my career. With time, I learned the importance of exploring oneself when the opportunity provides. So, I decided to quit my well-settled job and pursue post graduation from National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai (NITIE), a B-school which I truly believe has the potential to develop leader of tomorrow. This decision of quitting my job and restarting afresh was really a very tough one as it can change the entire way I proceed to achieve Big in life.
