Aditya Birla Group is one Indian multinational conglomerate that has touched the life of almost every Indian. The group has interests in viscose staple fiber, metals, cement (largest in India), viscose filament yarn, branded apparel, carbon-black, chemicals, fertilizers, insulators, financial services, telecom, BPO and IT services. As the economy of the country is developing, its infrastructure is peaking at its best and being the largest cement company in the country, it’s sure to touch even more lives of the population as the nation develops. Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli sea link is a very good example of how Aditya Birla Group is leading India in its developing course. The apparel industry has achieved a new high as many of the ABG brands have ruled the industry. Allen Solly, Forever 21, Louis Philippe, Peter England, and Van Heusen are brands well known and highly demanded by the country. While its brands are ruling the industry, its multi-brand outlets like Pantaloons, people, Planet Fashion have also made their mark. The telecommunication brand of Aditya Birla Group has helped Indians to forget distances and brought them closer than ever before. While these brands are obvious, other industries were people have benefitted indirectly are, carbon nanoparticles to make automobile tires safer, its Grasim insulators are the 4th largest producer of insulators in the world. A large share of the copper requirement of Indian Railways is fulfilled by Birla Copper; its Hindalco aluminum is used to make cover glass for smartphones. Apart from its industrial services, Its CSR activities like, 4500 women got empowered; 90 million were vaccinated, helped 7.5 million people across 5000 villages to earn their living and installed 1000 biogas plants. Such different endeavors by a conglomerate giant have not only made a big impact in my life, but also in the life of many Indians.

How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them”, the golden words of George Bernard Shaw have always influenced my life at different stages. I too don’t believe in circumstances but make my own. Throughout my education journey, I have faced many obstacles, but never got baffled by any of them. Instead, they have made me strong to face any challenge that I might face in the future. Not like many in my school, Mathematics was a huge challenge to me when I was in my 10th standard. The fear of boards was bothering me much but it was actually the inferiority complex that was bothering me more. I decided to make my mark and start from scratch to boost more on my fundamentals. Hence, without giving much heed to what people are doing, I carried out my preparation and stuck to what I want to achieve. The boards arrived, and I was happy that everything went according to how I wanted them to be. The result day was a big happy moment for me, as I was the lone soul who scored the double centum, 200/200, from the entire batch. “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it”-Moliere, proved right and my results gave me a real sense of satisfaction. Thus, according to me, if you want to achieve your ambition in life, you should not compete with others but yourself.
