What Starts With An A And B But Does Wonders Till Z - Deepika Dutta, IIM Vishakhapatnam

Serving a wide population and almost all demographics, it has been able to smoothen the life of an Indian consumer. Moreover, it is noteworthy how Aditya Birla Umbrella has been able to generate employment across India. Today, there is a significant number of employees involved right from the time of creation of the product till it reaches into the hands of the customer.

When Aditya Birla started his journey, he faced multiple external blockers and he worked around them to grow upwards and on wards. With time the issues have changed but the zeal of the company to grow forward has not changed. They grow together as one.

 Similarly, whatever little that I have achieved in my life so far, is the result of the relentless efforts of me and my family. Every single time, the belief that if we keep on trying, the blockers vanish, became stronger and stronger.

One such challenge in my life has been growing up in a nuclear family where both my parents were working till late in the evening. It was the kind of setting where there was no one to pick up me and my siblings from school and we would come back to an empty house. How we overcame this challenge is that we worked as a unit, we took care of each other and our parents made sure they were always there in the background. I feel this upbringing helped me step up and learn how to take care of me and my siblings from a very young age. In fact, right from the first day of school of my little brother, I used to cover his books, pack his bags and make sure he did all his homework along with doing the same for myself. Being able to take up responsibility of oneself and one’s siblings gradually but firmly establishes greater values and teaches the importance of teamwork from a very young age. These times helped us learn how to handle different situations and made us realize that together we could deal with almost all problems.

Such challenges in life awake us to the fact that everyone has immense potential and bring out the best in us during the worst of times.
