To Fly High, Get Your Foundations Strong - Ritika Agarwal, NMIMS Mumbai

Life throws challenges at everyone, it is what we make out of that situation and learn and evolve with each experience. In any challenging situation, I have ever come across, I have tried to maintain my calm and understand the situation and what it requires of me. After analyzing the challenge, my first goal is to solve it as simply as possible without complicating things. There were certain challenges that needed a stronger and a better version of mine, and I didn’t hesitate to work out of my comfort zone to get the best result. Also, I keep my principles handy and never lose out on them while facing a rough situation. The goal is to get a sagacious solution with a positive learning experience on the whole.

The impact of each challenge you face may not be immediately visible, but it does make a great difference in the long run.

The Impact ABG Has Had On My Life

ABGLP touches millions through its various business operations which makes a ‘big’ difference by adding values, adding purpose, thus making a big impact on the lives of common people. ABG always makes it big as it innovates and brings a positive change around the world. Be it Grasim or be it Hindalco, be it Pantaloons or be it Vodafone-Idea, ABG transcends horizon by transforming the way a business operates. These are just the icing on the cake, ABG strives to make the world a better place to thrive and survive and has been doing this successfully since its inception in the year 1857.

As an individual, a student to be particular, ABG has been instrumental and plays a significant role in the way I sail through a day! Right at the beginning of the day, at the simplest of things lies ABG i.e. Freshwrapp. This has been one particular product which has been a part of my life since a decade now protecting the food I pack. Long before that is out of my mind does ABG remind me that the roads I commute and the buildings I come across, many out of which are made by their products like Ultratech cement which has also been a crucial part of what every Mumbaikar is proud of, The Bandra- Worli Sealink. Not to forget, ABGLP reminds me that every second tyre on the road is made safer by Birla Carbon.

Now, it comes down to a very general aspect of my existence at-least, i.e. clothing. ABG simplifies clothing for me because of the plethora of choices it gives me to choose from. Be it budget friendly apparel from Pantaloons or luxury brands like Ted Baker or Simon Carter, I never have to worry about what I wear. Between all of this, in fact, even before all of these comes the essence of the existence of the 21st century - Communication. With Vodafone-Idea, the leader in today’s telecom world, it is needless to say that distances have been disappeared and communication has been simplified through the various services and plans it provides to an average individual like me. Life would have been way more complicated if it weren’t for the Aditya Birla Group!

Thus, ABGLP influences millions without people being conscious about such efforts. As the mission of the company says, it aims to satisfy the interests of all its stakeholders, customers and investors. It truly justifies the motto of the company which says “Taking INDIA to the world”.
