Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?

I would want to work for the Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. Fashion is something which is always on the path of re-invention, and that particularly excites me. I have been a marketing enthusiast for a long time now and aspire to be a brand manager in the near future. ABFRL will provide me with the avenues where I can explore and assess the challenges and understand the scope of implementation of the strategies that I have been learning through the postgraduate program. The positive employee satisfaction it is garnering is a boost to my willingness to associate with the organization.
