Later when the time came for campus placements I turned to Peter England – a trusted partner for definitive professional dressing. During the long hours at work, it was Van Heusen and Louis Philippe that helped me portray a sense of calm and poise in front of my colleagues, seniors, and clients.
Life has not been a smooth sail for me. I had to navigate through trying waters on multiple occasions. Hence, I can re-affirm the age-old adage that if you have the will you will find a way, no matter what. All you need to do is to stand back up every time you fall and never give up.
I have always been the storyteller within my circle of friends, but I was unable to be the same person on stage. There have been multiple instances where I have frozen up on the stage or stammered my way through. I have faced a lot of rejection and to an extent even humiliation standing on the podium facing the audience. But failures are meant to make us strong. I have made an effort and improved a lot over the years, and I have still not given up. I might not be the best orator yet, but one thing is certain – I am never going to back down and will keep on participating in events and try my best to win a few of them.
Again, during my days as a programmer at an MNC, there came a time when I decided that in order to make bigger strides professionally, I need to pursue an MBA degree. Aditya Birla Group was still there with me. During the preparation for CAT, I did not get a chance to visit my hometown for more than a year. Vodafone Idea was the partner that kept me sane.
Later during the interview stage, I fell back on the trusted name of Allen Solly to help me portray a look of confidence in front of the interviewing panel. After long last, the wait finally ended and I got admission into one of India’s finest business schools – IIM Raipur.
But this is just the end of another chapter in my life. There are a lot more to come and I look forward to taking strides into a bigger, brighter future. Also, I am sure that Aditya Birla Group would have a major significance in my life in the times to come.
