I am very keenly associated with Aditya Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Ltd. (ABSLAMC) as I along with my parents have many life insurance policies with ABG. It is a very tactical way of saving for your family which also acts as a security in various ways. It has a plethora of businesses under it, notably Grasim (textiles), Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL), Birla Carbon (carbon black), Aditya Birla Chemicals (chemicals), Aditya Birla Insulators (insulators), Essel Mining (mining) amongst many others.
Aditya Birla Group is one of the few Indian corporations sharing the League of Fortune 500 Companies. Powered by over 120,000 employees and extending its operations to as many as 34 countries, the group is built on a strong foundation of stakeholder value creation. Aditya Birla Group operates in a wide array of sectors ranging from metals and textiles to telecom and cement. Currently, more than half of the Group’s revenues flow from its international operations in North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. Giving back to the society is a cause that has been close to my heart and hence I have grown to appreciate the initiatives taken by Aditya Birla Group, in particular, the focus on de-addiction programmes and dowry-less marriage. I also am a strong proponent of higher education, for it is a respectable way to rise out of poverty which is again a key focus area for the Aditya Birla Group.
Sometimes when we don’t get the result that we’d planned or hoped for, it can make us consider opportunities that we may never had even contemplated if everything had been smooth sailing and gone exactly as we’d planned. Overcoming obstacles gives us problem solving skills and teaches us the value of thinking about things differently.
Being afraid to fail will hold you back from taking risks and trying new things in life. It’s important to challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Sometime that’s where you’ll find the ladder to climb over your obstacle.
