Story cut short, I earned a GPA of 9.7 to make my final CGPA to 8.6, and getting placed at Barclays India, among the first ones on campus. Just when I thought I had it all sorted out, everyone came up to remind me about the MBA Keeda I always talked about and how I was ignoring it now that I’m in my comfort zone. Began yet another story of challenges, taking my MBA exams along with some hectic work at Barclays and finally getting into the prestigious IIFT.
There’s one thing I have realized about life. It is indeed a rat race, and as long as it exists, I want to be the fastest one around.
How ABG has played a significant role in my life
Fact check : You always get nostalgic, not from the biggest, but with the smallest, sweetest childhood moments in life.
One such moment for me was getting ready for school, with our cute uniforms and our mothers shouting at us at 7 in the morning to buck up. You go to the kitchen, only to check what you are going to get for recess in school, and the mesmerizing whiff of fresh, hot parathas with Aloo ki sabzi being packed into the FreshWrapp foil hit you, and you get ecstatic and have the best start to the day.
Growing up as kids, when it was time to refill our tiny wardrobe with one cute pair of shirt and jeans during Diwali, there had been only one choice to make in Nagpur, it was either Planet Fashion or Pantaloons. Now that I realize both of them are part of the Aditya Birla Group, it makes me proud to even jot down my feelings for such a heritage that has served happiness to a million families for 162 years now. The excitement and dreamy eyes with which I used to open the packing of the shirt on Diwali, not fretting about anything in life and confidently knowing I would be the most good looking kid out there, is second to none.
This is what Aditya Birla Group symbolizes for me, creating my most cherished childhood memories, without even realizing it.
