Its 8 a.m in the morning, the bed seems to be the most pleasant thing after a tedious long night study. But not so the case when you have classes at 8.30 a.m. That somewhat sums up the MBA life living far off from the home. But then the phone rang and suddenly you pick the phone up in hurry. A voice came from the other side, "get up son, you are getting late". Well there's no better alarm clock than your mother, who, irrespective of the distance never forget to help her child. Knowingly or unknowingly Aditya Birla Group has got us covered in all respect. It has helped or enabled the distances to disappear. Vodafone Idea limited, the leading telecom service provider in India and second largest globally is an Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Group partnership. How many days in todays' context can you live without you network connections? Forget about days, how many minutes even can you live? It is quite tough right. Thats what the impact it has on our day to day life. 

Who all love to eat food cooked by your mother? Everyone right. And once you start living in hostels, you will miss it eventually more than before. During our childhood, in school we all loved the "aloo ke parathas" that our mother used to give in our tiffin boxes and to our surprise it stayed hot even after 3 to 4 hours of cooking. Thanks to the Hindalco Freshwrapp which is considered as one of the leading brands of packaging foils in the country today.

All of us love festivals very much. This is the time when you dont have to request your parents buy you a new dress. They themselves will gift you many, right. I being a bengali, durga puja is one of our main festival. I use to buy dresses once in a year during that time only. If your budget is high, you will probably go to VanHeusen or Allen Solly or Peter England perhaps. And if you have a low budget, whats better than pantaloons. At low price you will get a whole lot of variety to choose from. Its an absolute delight for the shopaholic. All these are the brands of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited.

Quite literally, we are living in the world of Aditya Birla Group.

How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far.

Well, I believe highs and lows are part and parcel of everyone's life. Life is not a roller coaster ride and if it is going so, then perhaps you are going in the wrong direction. Though I have short career till now, I have a few challenges in my life so far. It all started during the final year of my engineering. Though I had good marks in semseters but being from a core branch I was not so good in coding. All the recruiting companies in my college were software companies. At that time I was also preparing for CAT exam along with my campus preparation. Then came the time of campusing. I quite easily cleared the witten exam of both CTS and Infosys and given interview in both. But I got rejected in both of them due to my weak ability in coding and I was asked questions on that. Most of my friends got through the round and got selected. That moment was challenging for me and I was disturbed for first few days as I couldn't live up to the expectation of my parents. But after a few days, I composed myself and set my target towards the CAT exam and prepared well for it and secured a 92%ile in the exam and got admitted to GIM. Well, my ambitions are not yet fullfilled. Its just started.
