In other ways, We, knowingly or unknowingly, have been a part of Aditya Birla Group’s customer base. In fashion and apparel, Indians have seen a new trend after the introduction of brands like Louis Philippe as finest menswear, Van Heusen as workwear and Allen Solly as casual wear for men which have been go-to brands for many Indians, including me. Coming from a civil engineering background and work experience, UltraTech Cement is the most trustworthy and quality cement in terms of grey cement and ready-mix concrete (RMC). The Aluminium produced from Hindalco is used in the coating of mobile phones we use and the cars we use have tyres made from Birla Carbon. Small items like insulators we use in our homes to becoming the 2nd largest market in the telecom industry, the group has been a part of everyone’s life. The copper used in the Railways, which we use daily, is mainly supplied by this group. It has been a financial service provider to many families and corporates through Aditya Birla Capital Ltd. The multi-brand fashion store, Pantaloons, has become a one-stop store for all family clothing and accessories. The aluminium foil we use to wrap our food, providing solutions to farmers from sowing to harvesting, etc.. are some of the many utilities from this group. 0.1 million mt of UltraTech cement was used in the construction of Bandra-Worli Sea Link shows the trust in their products.
Developing business taking along social responsibility is a great quality. The Aditya Birla Group has set-up over 4500 women empowerment groups, 18 charitable hospitals, 1000 bio-gas plants, mid-day meals, polio camps, skill training, and almost reaching 7.5 million people across 5000 villages is a remarkable feat. This shows the path for young business aspirants like me to know the importance of society we work for and understand the ways in which we can contribute within our capacity.
At the end, I would say challenges are like pebbles thrown at you. You can dodge them, face them or use them as an opportunity to make yourself one step closer to your goal. I have gone through a lot of failures but every failure opens a new horizon and creates another opportunity. We just have to be patient enough to say “Hold on!!” and grab the opportunity as soon as it knocks on our door.
So, Aditya Birla Group always stays closer to my heart like it has been "Big" in the lives of millions of people. #NMIMSMumbai #ABGLPWooMeSeason2
