The role of Ultratech cement in the construction industry is dominating. From small scale constructions to large concrete structures it is used. In 2017 Ultratech became the largest cement company in India. In 2018 they crossed another milestone of becoming of 3rd largest cement company in the world with a consolidated capacity of 102.5 MTPA. The reach of the company is in every length and breadth of the country. It is not limited to India. Their operations span across the Middle East, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Probably the first cement company I knew must be Ultratech. I still remember going back to my home, which was under construction and checking the rising sun symbol of ABG in one of the packets after reading about it.
If it comes to social responsibilities and developments there won’t be any match for ABG. I am even happier that their social entrepreneurs in healthcare cover people from my state, Kerala, which is helpful for a lot of people. They create model villages, infrastructure, schools, quality education, scholarships, etc.
To understand what is Aditya Birla Group for India, we can take the words of its own chairman, Kumar Mangalam Birla.” The name Aditya Birla exemplifies integrity, quality, performance, perfection and above all character.” Since from the starting in 1857, ABG is a part of the Indian economy. Now an unavoidable force in the Indian market. It touches almost each and every part of life. There won’t be anyone in India, who hasn’t crossed their path with at least a single ABG product or service. The trust that consumers given to their brands are because they know about the character of Aditya Birla Group, which will never compromise on their integrity and quality.
Talking about performance, quality, and character I remember one of my recent hard experience. It was my interview for IIM Nagpur. I was under tremendous pain because of my surgery. I was not able to attend 2 or 3 other interviews because of this. The most important part was it took a great effort for me to talk under that pain. Because the surgery was inside my mouth. This was like my last chance to make it into an IIM and I didn’t want to lose that. So I decided to go for it. So finally my turn for the interview came. The first question was to introduce myself with something that is not in my CV. I started talking. But I couldn’t complete my sentences at one go. I took pauses, searched for synonyms in my mind those hurt my mouth less. My sentences were fragmented. “This is going in a bad direction,” I thought. “This is a do or die situation. I have to do whatever it takes.” So even under that pain, I started to give my answers. When I look back I don’t know how I did that. But, I remember that it took a lot of physical and mental efforts to answer those questions. When I finished I was feeling good about myself. That I was able to do my best, under a tough situation. Guess where I am sitting writing this? Yes, IIM Nagpur, enjoying my new wonderful phase of life. One thing was proven to me again, never compromise on your performance, always give the best quality version of you, believe in your hard work, they will pay you back.
