So let’s see how Aditya Birla Group has impacted a large part of our life. This journey starts right
from the insurance of house to the clothes and food. Every second car on the road runs on tyres
made from Birla carbon. Being a Delhite I have seen the worst side of air pollution when you need to
wear masks going on road. There are initiatives which make a large impact on us, one of which was
#FilterTheFuture campaign by Aditya Birla group wherein it was shown creating artwork out of toxic
air by using air filters made by Aditya Birla Group. Around 35 percent of aluminium cans worldwide
are made by Novelis and not just that, Novelis is the world’s largest recycler of aluminium. 55
percent of its raw material comes from more than 50 billion used beverage cans that are recycled
annually. Every business aims at meeting the customer demands with profitability. But what some
businesses overlook is the affect they have on environment which in turn impacts us. So to answer if
Aditya Birla Group has impacted my life, YES! It has and it continues to do so keeping the
sustainability and environment friendly initiatives along with it.
When I was working in my last project at Infosys Ltd in May’2017 there was Petya virus attack across
world, which also affected my client’s servers under our monitoring. I had just joined the team and
was still undergoing KT (knowledge transfer as they say in IT) when this incident happened. I was
trained in networking protocols during my stay at Mysore campus and here I needed to work for
completely different domain due to the virus attack. My manager had only one line to say when he
saw me struggling with the task at hand. “Don’t fear about the failure, do your best and rest all will
fall in place”, and I did that. It took us a whole one month to make the servers online again but the
most important learning I had was to work well in a team when something as challenging as this
comes up. It also made me realize that pro-activeness is very important in businesses and can
minimize the risk to a business process to a large extent. I’ll end this with one note that I really
believe in, don’t fear failures and unknown, “sometime you win, sometime you learn” but you never
fail.
