Aditya Birla Group is an Indian conglomerate that helped each an every individual in some or the other way with its different providing and offers. ABG played a massive role in every individual’s life so as mine. ABG’s Pantaloons is my favourite. It gives various discounts and offers on all occasions. Even on normal days ABG’s fashion products give discounts. Once I had an opportunity to avail one of its offer of buying clothes worth Rs. 12000 in just Rs. 6000 and that day I enjoyed shopping a lot. That day I didn’t give a second thought on buying items I like due to lack of budget and bought almost 15 items together. Pantaloons have all kinds of wear such as casual, ethnic, western, etc. thus making it easier for me to buy clothes of every kind from one place at a very reasonable rate. Pantaloons is my goto place and my first priority for shopping anything from tops, jeans, trousers, kurta to proper ethnic wear. Pantaloons also provide good collection of footwear so it made shopping very easy with one store for everything. Another business of ABG that impacted my life is Vodafone Idea ltd. I am a Vodafone user and after Vodafone Idea merger I enjoyed various offers of unlimited outgoing and various data packs in very reasonable rates. Due to its offers I even disconnected my Wi-Fi services as it provided me with so many services at such a cheap rate that allowed me to enjoy its data services with high speed and without buffering.
Every individual faces one or more challenges in their life, but one who overcomes his/her challenge leads towards success. One of my characteristic which I felt was my challenge and somewhere resisting me from moving ahead is that I was an introvert. I know being an introvert is not a bad thing but the field I chose required the extrovert nature. I am an industrial engineer and have 2 years of floor experience. I used to talk to very limited people with whom I was comfortable. During my graduation, I got an internship in Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle ltd. where I had to communicate with all the staff and the workers for my project work. I didn’t know a single person there from before and also there was not a single female worker on floor where I had to spent my 9 hours daily. So it became very hard for me to survive in that new and professional environment. Being introvert I was not able to share my discomfort with anyone and taking a break was the only option left for me. But during one week of break I realized running away from the situation won’t make anything better so after returning from break I tried communicating with my mentor and slowly completed my project. I got appreciated for my sincerity and hard-work and a feedback for improvement which said that I should start to mingle with people and that remark from head of the department impacted me so much that I decided to overcome my fear of being judged. I started interacting with strangers or just acquaintance in some way or the other either by just smiling or by wishing them, it took almost a year but when I finally entered into a professional world and joined my job no one believed that once I was an introvert. Today I can say I enjoy shop floor work and interacting with different people and do not fear at all about what others would think.
