But, life had other plans in store. I came across an IPO in the Indian market. I was largely skeptical to invest anymore and the chances of allotment were very slim. But since the company and the parent group had a great repute, I decided to take a leap of faith after a great deal of research. To my surprise, I got the shares I had applied for and the stock sailed 60% within a week of listing. I recovered a huge chunk of my losses and was able to return my cousin’s investment back to him, although with no gains. I swore to never invest in speculation post this incident and invested time in in-depth research before investing money in any stock. As of today, I have a portfolio with decent returns.
This incident reaffirmed my belief in the quote that success is just one step away from the point where you decide to quit.
Why is Aditya Birla Group #BigInMyLife
People associate their favorite products with their respective brands. They are oblivious of the fact that many a time, the ones which meet their expectations the most, come from the same conglomerate. I was no different until a few years ago. Nevertheless, the dots connected here as well, leading to ABG.
Allen Solly, Van Heusen, and Peter England have been my all-time favorites when it comes to formal wear. I also found their footwear and accessories collection very intriguing. Pantaloons is my go-to store for anything and everything when I just want to shop, but don’t know what. You never leave the store empty-handed. My intangible love for Vodafone Idea has never seen the side of betrayal. It has been as close to me as others because of it. Hindalco was our one-stop shop when my firm was in need of troughed roofing sheets. My mother believes that I eat fresh food when it is wrapped in Freshwrapp. ABG has been the contributor of ‘Roti, Kapda Aur Makaan’ in its truest sense.
Owning an ABG is a matter of pride for me and its impact resonates in my life, so much that I cannot think of a day without an ABG product around me.
