Aditya Birla Group, an Indian group of companies established before the country got independence, it has deeply ingrained in our lives from telecom and IT services to textile and financial services.
I grew up watching and reciting word by word UltraTech cement advertisements on television and eating lunch packed inside Freshwrapp aluminium foils at school. Then, in my undergraduate college, pantaloons became my go-to brand for shopping and Idea cellular was the only network that served the isolated location of my college, away from the city.
Now that I am a management student, I only wear Van Huesen shirts and formals because they fit me the best.
I admire the sustainable business models followed by the group in various domains. The founders believed in living by values no matter what and that can still be seen from the company’s vision and practices. It has engaged in welfare-driven activities which have impacted millions of people in need. The projects include healthcare, education, modelling villages and much more! They also work with a number of government schemes like Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojana and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. The world would be a better place if more companies could learn from their approaches towards genuine public welfare!
Aditya Birla Group not only provides the best services, it also employs over 1.2 lakh people. AON Best Employer in India has been awarded to ABG thrice in the last seven years. That being stated, my main aim in life has been to become capable enough to help create employment opportunities for the masses. So, a company with such a huge employee base will be ideal for me to learn from.
