Curiosity of learning brought me to the city of dreams. First thing, I saw a beautiful sunset at Bandra Worli Sea link- the magnificent structure, incomparable beauty only because of you (Ultra Tech). Rainy season, City full of traffic, lots of vehicles but a sense of safety with you (Birla Carbon). Pace of Mumbai is because of the most famous “Mumbai local” where you have contributed to make it convenient for us (Birla Copper). MBA journey started when I needed full business suit, my smart casuals, my ethnic day dress, you came with lots of varieties for every occasion (Aditya Birla Fashion). I was not sure that I could stay away from my family but you made it possible for me to see my mom every day (Vodafone). After MBA I also have dream of big house, dream Car and I know you will be there with me (Aditya Birla Capital). You always know what I want. You made life easier. Every step I move forward I find you not only in India but also in 33 other countries. You are there to hold me, guide me, support my future (Aditya Birla Insurance). Even you took a step forward to make our place more viable (Hindalco Recycling Aluminium). Seven decades of continuous efforts and responsible business practices in metals, textiles, carbon black, telecom and cement industries, you made India proud in all over the worldWherever I go, you motivate me to achieve ALWAYS BIG. Thank You Aditya Birla Group for being in our lives.

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far

Life is never easy. It requires us to take some risks and challenges to achieve goals of life. It started when I born in a small town with limited facilities not much knowing about the world. At my place where girls were not getting education for their life, their goal, their future. They were getting education to get married. As soon as understand what I wanted to do, it was little late, I already completed my 12th. I wanted to go for engineering but was not knowing about the entrance exams. My medium of study was HINDI. So complete conversion from Hindi to English was a big task for me. I took a pause, worked day night for all the concepts from Hindi to English and prepared for my engineering entrance examination. I got selected for state government engineering institute. First mile stone of my life. I was the first engineer of my entire community. I again went for very unconventional engineering stream for girls i.e. Chemical engineering. I joined Petroleum Refinery as process engineer and chose manufacturing plant. Being single women in entire plant got me in lots of performance pressure and expectations. When you are around the people who are not habitual of working with a girl and who see you a novice girl rather than as an engineer, it becomes tougher to change their perspective. But again with full dedication and excellence in my work, I got recognition and respect from each individual and higher managers. Received best performance recognition. I was again assigned additional charges beyond my work profile. Being as responsive engineer, I also took some training initiatives towards my people.

Till now, it was a roller coaster ride. I aspire to become a good operational manager in near future and I am continuously working towards that. In spite of lots of challenges, life always gives us opportunities to prove ourselves. We just need to grab that and work towards our ambitions
