The course was over but one of the best parts was yet to come, The Sustainability Trek! Everyone was excited about the trek in Shillong, after all Meghalaya is called “Scotland of the East” for a reason. We were out from the campus at 6am, and headed to the Mawphlang sacred forest for an amazing experience. The forest was in between the clouds and very clean. The rudraksh trees and mushrooms around the forest were a new sight for me. Walking in the forest made me realise the importance of being sustainable or else we will lose these forests and the natural environment that makes life possible. Next, we were off for the trek. Into the wilds for 4 long hours was seeming impossible. The trek was easier than expected, the natural beauty pushed me through the conditions. Amid clouds, we were off to a wonderful journey walking through mountains and barren lands was energizing. The tired feeling from the past 15 days was relieved that day. I was prepared for the challenges to come. Coming to Shillong seemed like a wise decision at one time but after the first 15 days of being in the campus I have realised that my decision was correct. I am excited for the things to come in this delightful place.
Aditya Birla Group
Having an interest in marketing domain and having worked in the same role for a few months I want to be working for Aditya Birla Retail Limited. The company is one of the first Food and grocery retailer to receive the food safety certification. A company as such would be the first to adopt the sustainable practices and I can see myself working for this company.
