but is also recognized as one of the greatest engineering marvels in Mumbai where the bridge had to bear the might of the Arabian Sea. The trust in the bridge was automatically increased when it was known that the largest cement manufacturing company had contributed in the construction of such a marvelous bridge (0.1 Million MT of Ultratech Cement used). The moto of Ultratech Cement (Aditya Birla Group) that they contribute towards making India beautiful and connected was truly achieved. Thus, Aditya Birla Group with its core values has found its way not just in my life but in the life of every Mumbaikar too.
PART B : How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far
Martin Luther King Jr once said “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. Challenges in truer sense gives us an option whether to face it and overcome it or to let the challenge overwhelm you. I would say I have had the opportunity to face such a challenge at my workplace.
I was a front-end developer working in a banking project. Being in a banking project I have had opportunities to work on high important projects such as implementation of VAT, customer analytics, customer risk calculation, etc. Each project that I had completed had its own set of unique challenges, some had code complexities, some had functionality issues, etc. But the biggest challenge I had faced was during the implementation of VAT for the bank. The bank had been given a strict deadline of one and a half month to comply so the pressure on us was immense too, as we had to deliver the project in a month. One of the challenges I faced was that I had just completed half year in the team and was not ready to implement a project on such a large scale, also the project included changes in almost each screen of the interface and interaction with other systems. But I was not going to give up because of my inexperience of such a big project, I was given a Knowledge Transfer session by the senior and was also assigned a mentor for help. After clearing all my doubts, I had immediately begun my work and had to work the entire month, weekends included in order to deliver the project quickly and efficiently. For my efforts in the project I was praised by all my superiors and had also received the ‘Star of the Month Award’.
