Challenges are a part and parcel of life. A life without challenges will be too boring. Challenges test your resilience towards difficult or unknown situations. They make you wiser and improve your capabilities. The most thing is to challenge yourself to greater heights. After my 12th grade, while I was deciding on which college to attend, I received an acceptance mail from Narsee Monjee college of commerce and economics for Bachelors in Management Studies. Coming from a conservative Marwari family, my decision to go to Mumbai alone wasn’t taken in the positive light. I was asked to apply to institutes in the same city as my home. I did as asked but did not give up my willingness to go to Mumbai for a college I have always been aspirant for. I convinced my family by showing them the opportunities and growth prospects I would have if I pursued my studies in Mumbai. I was able to change their thinking and break the glass ceilings of my society. Another ambition of mine was to get into a B-school. After writing cat 2018, I did not score very good and therefore was rejected by all b-schools, so I analyzed what must have gone wrong during the preparations and prepared myself for CAT 2019, So I had to constantly work hard for 6 months, crack the exams and attend the interviews. This time during the interviews, my last years’ experience and proper preparation have helped me get a seat in Goa Institute of management.

When I wanted to redesign my wardrobe, I had Forever21. For all my network issues, I had Vodafone. ABG has also had a role in keeping my food hygienic and fresh through the fresh wrap product. Another product that ensures the integrity and strength of the infrastructure I frequently use say educational buildings, housing society where I reside and the office building is fulfilled by Ultratech cement. For my first interview attire, I had Van Heusen. ABG provides one-stop solution.
