Aditya Birla group stands for 5 core values integrity, commitment, passion, seamlessness and speed. It stands for creating value for its customers.

Aditya Birla group, you read it and you know it, the brand has created a world wide impact in an exponential form. I can barely think of any other brand when in come to shopping, mobile network, or even cement for that matter and a lot of other things I can count. ABG provides one stop solution for any consumers need.

I’ll always remember my first formal suit bought from Allen Solly, my first sim card bought from IDEA, my late-night hot chocolate at the airport from Puro Gusto or all my fashion clothes from Forever 21. ABG has always been there just right there from the beginning, always making the big moments in my life a little bigger.

Aditya Birla Group has played a very important role in the hygiene and freshness of the food I consume. Its freshwrapp keeps the food good for me and then the foil helps me turn it into a ball to play room cricket.

ABG’s Corporate social responsibility in making the society and the country a better place to live in has been remarkable. Its initiatives in healthcare, education, infrastructure etc and making model villages is definitely making the society better to live in. The group is actively promoting sustainability and therefore has taken right actions in the same direction.

Aditya Birla Group is one conglomerate that comes to mind when we talk about Indian MNC. It spans around 34 countries with 1,20,000 employees, it is a proud in itself.

The biggest challenge while growing up was being an introvert person- with the fear of public speaking, putting my opinions forward was another huge task. I realised this when I was in grade 12 making me wonder how would I compete and stand out in the world: that is when I started with mirror, imagining a crowd of hundreds, and slowly I started participating in event hosting in school itself. That wasn’t enough, therefore while pursuing Bachelors in Business administration, I explored all other fields where I could put up my voice and present, classrooms I chose, to begin with. The entire curriculum of the degree helped me develop these skills and overcome the challenges. The entire curriculum of the degree helped me develop these skills and overcome the challenges.

Another ambition of mine was to get into a B-school. After writing cat 2018, I did not score very good and therefore was rejected by all b-schools, so I analysed what must have gone wrong during the preparations and prepared myself for CAT 2019, So I had to constantly work hard for 6 months, crack the exams and attend the interviews. This time during the interviews, my last years’ experience and proper preparation have helped me get a seat in Goa Institute of management.

These are the two challenges I faced in life and overcoming them has changed my perspective and added value to my life. Therefore, to achieve anything good in life, we have to go through tough times and hard situations.
