Another important point to touch upon would be ABG’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. ABG’s hospital services, immunisation camps and mid-day meals for school children have positively impacted the lives of millions of people in India who otherwise do not have access to such services.
PART B
My personality traits of simplicity with the right mix of intelligence and interpersonal skills could, very well, be my one-way ticket into ABG’s Leadership Programme. The leadership programme looks for exceptional individuals who can be groomed to take over the mantle of ABG’s business ventures. I think my sheer tenacity, perseverance and emotional indifference closely matches the character profiles that the programme seeks to find.
In my failures and success, ABG, specifically Peter England, has been with me. The toughest part of my life was the time when I was struggling in my career growth and decided to opt for an MBA. This was a tough time as I was low on confidence and had limited idea about my future. The process was long and required a lot of patience and constant self-motivation. I remember the times before each of my B -school interview, when my heart used to pound hard, thinking about the million ways in which my interview could go wrong. But every time, I ensured I suited up and gave my best in the opportunities I got. Some I cleared, some I didn’t but I came victorious in a place from where I had a vision for the future.
ABG has been an inseparable part of my life. The brands which ABG offers have become so internalised in our day to day life. Peter England, Allen Solly, Forever 21, People, Van Heusen and countless more brands have made an impact in the Indian market. Similar to ABG, I made impact when I first joined my job fresh from college. I was allocated to a pilot project, which required me to convince a client about a solving a complex business problem. As for ABG, it took time and numerous efforts to convince the client and make him trust my team so much that the model changed from client to a partner. In more than ways I realise, ABG has and always will be an inspiration.
