'It's not the quantity, but the quality that matters!'
Aditya Birla Group (ABG) is one of the best examples of that. Food, Shelter & Clothing are three basic needs of human being and Aditya Birla Group is serving us in all three aspects since a long time. Moreover, it has also served us in Healthcare as, Education and Sanitation. Aditya Birla Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate is founded by Seth Shiv Narayan Birla in 1857. Today ABG is a USD 44.3 billion conglomerate, with operations in 34 countries across 5 continents. This gives us the immense idea of the standards and quality of services ABG is providing in all sectors. I have born and brought up in Mumbai where the ABG is headquartered. ABG mainly serves in the sectors of Banking, Financial Services, Metal, Cement, Fashion, Carbon Black, Textile and Chemicals. I remember this from my childhood that my family has always loved wearing cloths form Pantaloons and Peter England. Pantaloons is one of the favorite brands of my ‘Aai’ and so is mine. It surprised me that I was already using ABG services before I could even realize its significance in my life. Now when I know my choices Vanheusen, Loius Philippe and Peter England was a major part of my shopping right from T-Shirts to Blazers. ABG is popular amongst all age groups from the last two generations. It’s not just about clothing, as my father is a civil engineer and I have seen him recommending UltraTech Cement for its great quality. No surprise that UltraTech cement serves as World’s top 20 cement companies. When it comes to banking Aditya Birla Idea Payments Bank Limited (ABPB) is a full-service digital bank which offers innovative banking features and cashless transactions. My hometown is located in the rural areas of Maharashtra and I remember that the only telecom network available there is Vodafone Idea Ltd. Thanks to ABG, you helped us to stay connected together.
I always believed that it’s not always about luck, it’s your passion and handwork that defines you. There is no limit for gaining knowledge and learning new skills. Thus it’s all about experimenting and exploring new things. Life offers a plethora of opportunities with equal obstacles and challenges. The challenges we face imparts qualities and traits to our personality which helps us to complete our responsibilities and achieve greater heights. ABG is one of the best examples of that, as it overcame various challenges from decades and still stood as a superpower in the global market. I also believe that guidance and self-learning serve the purpose of development hand in hand.
Talking about myself, the society I lived in majorly used to speak the native language. So the biggest challenge I faced in my earlier days of higher studies was my communication skills. I accepted the challenge and started working on it. I scheduled my reading habits and followed them strictly. I read a lot from books, novels, and newspapers. I started watching movies and series which helped me to improve my pronunciations. I prepared from various resources of vocabulary and grammar which eventually helped me to excel competitive exams and adapt the change in my personality. The result of which I confidently applied for the post of Magazine and literary secretary for my college and got selected for the post. Wherein I faced many challenges related to time management, team building, leadership, and social etiquette and overcame them with my perseverance.
It’s been said,
“As a rule, the man is a fool; He wants hot when there is cool;
He wants cool when it is hot; He always wants, what is not!”
It is our basic human tendency, to complain about things that we don’t have. In short, Life is full of sweet-sour experiences and the essence of the fun lies in exploring.
