How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambition
It was in the month of September 2 years back, I was diagnosed with a slipped disc in my L5 S1. I was in the undergraduate final year and could not attend the classes as a doctor had advised complete bed rest for two months, needless to say, I just managed to pass in that semester. CAT was in November and I could see my dream of getting into a coveted B-school fading away. I appeared for the exam anyhow but could score just 68.9 percentile. It was a time when I could not sit up straight on a chair even for an hour due to excruciating pain. To add to my nightmare my weight shot up to 92 kilos due to two months of inactivity. I had to go through a lot of physiotherapies, took to healthy eating and started exercising under medical guidance. I started preparing for CAT again and used to alternatively study for 60 minutes and exercised for 20 to alleviate the pain. After 8 months my health started to improve and I also joined the gym. Initially, I could just do light aerobics then gradually I started doing CrossFit and circuit training and was able to lose 20 kilos. Still, up to date, I have to take care while exercising that I don’t injure my back. I managed to score 94 percentile in CAT 2018 and joined XIMB. All of this made me resilient and I have learned the lesson that we should take care of our mind and body alike in order to be successful.
Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life
Aditya Birla Group is a conglomerate that has many brands like Forever 21, Freshwrapp, Louis Philippe, Pantaloons, Allen Solly, Idea, Ultratech Cement and many more. After the merger, Vodafone Idea is the largest telecom operator now in India. I have emotional connectivity with Aditya Birla Group because many things that I did for the first time in my life started with ABG’s product. My first and present network connection is Idea, the business formals that I wore to my first interview was from Allen Solly. Being a fashion enthusiast the first brand that comes to my mind while shopping is Forever 21. Forever 21 provides high end and latest trends while Pantaloons has products that anyone on a budget can also afford. The basic element needed for building a house is cement and Ultratech Cement has a stronghold of the market.S
Aditya Birla Group through its CSR activities contributes towards uplifting the weaker sections of the society. It has partnered with government and village panchayats and worked in over 5000 villages. Aditya Birla Group is strongly committed to its values and mission. It is committed to delivering superior value to its customers and all the stakeholders. It would be a great opportunity if a get a chance to work for ABG in the future.
