Aditya Birla Group – Your Vision Decides How Far You Can Go! - Darshan Shukla IIM Visakhapatnam

Now it isn’t surprising that why we love and respect ABG group. They are transforming business, leading markets, and using their growth to benefit society and bring about a change in the life of millions, privileged and unprivileged. This leaves me with no word other than “RESPECT” to state my feelings for ABG. It is not only a privilege but a dream to work for ABG and their hunt for future leader from young crop of management enthusiasts across B-Schools only affirms the fact that ABG team is visionary and I would like to be part of ABG family so that I can lead the change for a better world tomorrow along with Aditya Birla Group by being an integral part of their impressive vision(To be a premium global conglomerate with a clear focus on each of the businesses) and noble mission(To deliver superior value to our customers, shareholders, employees and society at large).

So, I would like to conclude this part of the passage with a quote:

“Your vision decides how far you can go!”

– Darshan Shukla

Sometimes the truth is your biggest lie, and a lie is your most significant opportunity.

Stepping out of college with a dream to excel in every aspect of life seemed to be no less than a fairy tale as the reality of the world we live in, and luxury of growing up under the care of our parents and teachers are the complete opposite. I was clueless where to go ahead and what path to choose but was determined to find a way and be the best in it. With 15 months in the job, I decided to exit and search something meaningful rather than working without an aim in mind. But your story never follows the script you wish to write for yourself and so was the case with me as business losses, and financial burden on the family again put me in the same dark age of desk job. But this time around, I decided not to sit back and find my path, which led me to explore myself and my interest. I welcomed every opportunity that was present to me in my professional life and outside it, which also led me to try my venture, which was a failure.

Time was running out and path seemed to be lost for me, but I didn’t give up hope. My performances in my organization helped me to fetch a solutioning role, and that was a significant turning point in my life. Getting an opportunity to lead and interact with client and helping them save millions of dollars through my solutions made me realize my potentials and I no longer wished to remain lagging in lower hierarchy and aspired to fast track into role that will be more challenging, exciting and help me push myself beyond limits and truly excel in my profession. So, my mission to join one of most prestigious institutes of the country began, and it was a very gruesome year with increasing responsibilities in the office, juggling between my hobbies and youtube channel and still taking time out to study for exams. But all my efforts paid off when I got a call for IIM V – The rising Sun in the field of education and already making a significant impact across the country.

The first part of the journey has begun, and I wish to carry forward this journey to another level by being a part of the Aditya Birla Group. Being in IIM V I have realized the value of excellence, and I wish to take it forward to ABG.
