“InsideIIM - ABG WooMe competition launch” was the mail notification on my phone and the question was to write about an impact the group had in your life. This triggered a chain of thoughts in me to figure out the same.
Starting with the phone in which the notification popped up - the cover glass: Hindalco manufactures aluminum that is used for the same. From foils used for wrapping meals and snacks to huge metal parts in trains, consumer durables and construction Hindalco plays a significant role in many walks of our life. Grasim industries is the world’s 4th largest maker of insulators. In construction Ultra tech cements is well known but just that won’t suffice – 1 lakh metric tons of cement has gone into Bandra-Worli sea link. Then the usual Pantaloons that hosts a variety of fashion brands like Vanheusen, AllenSolly, PeterEngland, LouisPhillippe etc which help us look hip and savvy according to the event attended. Birla carbon makes travel on roads safer through the carbon nano particles on tires. The retail group More has enabled neighbourhoods with easier and cheaper access to groceries. The Vodafone idea network brings families closer and captures memories.
So how does all this impact me? Well the impact is so much that it’s taken for granted. It hits us in tiny ways and giant waves on numerous occasions, but we realise and appreciate it only when we start to jot it down for a competition or when we are thankful to the safe and sound environment we are gifted with.
