PART A

SUM OF PARTS MAKE BIG IMPACT:

Every business, big or small, strives to become big, but rarely do any brands come along that becomes big

in a person’s life. Aditya Birla Group is one such name that has left a mark on so many lives, one being

mine. The impact that Aditya Birla group had on my life may not be visible to the world but it hides

behind the tags of clothes I wear and holds the house strongly, that I call home. I vividly remember in

school when it was recess and after we finished off the lunch the only thing that was left was the fresh

wrap foil, and how we used to collect all the foils and roll it into one big ball and play cricket

I still remember the first suit that I bought for my farewell in school and felt confident to enter a different

world after I finish my school, and now that I am now pursuing my MBA the suit I bought from Louis

Philippe I still feel just as confident, after all, clothing is ultimately the suit of armor in which we battle

the world. Two years back we decided to renovate our house and construct it from scratch and at that

moment we had to decide on the raw material that would form the base of our house, my father decided to

put his trust in the ultra tech cement, the glue that holds together the whole house together. So maybe one

can not see the name of Aditya Birla product but the fact remains that these small memories have had a

big impact on my life.

PART B

Achievement

Life becomes meaningful when one rides the waves of achievements and failures. All one needs

to remember is that one should give all his efforts to rise up to the occasion. When I got in my

final year of school I was selected the head boy and become the first commerce student to

become one in many years. After graduating from college I appeared for CA IPCC and CFA

Level 1 simultaneously and cleared then and also got exemption in accounts and law. I also have

practiced and got better at drawing portraits and now I can draw realistic portraits and even

digital paintings. In my first year of college, I injured my knee while playing cricket and tore off

my ligaments, which resulted in me wearing knee wrap for two years as my knee joint would

slide off the socket. To improve my condition, I decided to start physical training and now I have

advanced to the level where now I can squat over 100 kgs. But the next challenge was waiting

for me in the form of CAT, and with the aspiration of being a student of top b-school of the

country I buckled up for the challenge, with regular studies and family’s support I managed to

bell the CAT and got into IIM Raipur, an IIM dream of lakhs of candidates. Now that I am in

IIM every day is a new challenge and successfully completing each assignment and task and

completing them is an achievement in themselves as they end up teaching me some lesson.

This is just the beginning of a new journey and new challenges are waiting to be met head-on.
