multinational conglomerates with over 120,000 employees, the group has shaped the lives of
millions of individuals.
From the foil in my tiffin to the sim card in my first phone to the shirt I wore for my MBA
interviews, the group has played a significant role in my life. This opportunity to express my
thoughts on “How big is ABG in my life” is one of those events which made me one drive down my
memory lane and relish the past experiences. Now, when I am here in SIBM PUNE, miles away
from my family, and with Vodafone-Idea becoming “stronger every hour”, the bond between me and
my family strengthens with it and I believe I can share the same bond with ABG, which incorporates
the values and optimism my parents taught me since my childhood and can take baby steps to reach
greater heights together, as we proudly say “POWER OF ONE NETWORK”, which I believe is
indispensable.
Quoted by Kumar Mangalam Birla himself, “The one important factor that keeps me going is the
kind of people I work with” is something that inspires me because it’s the people around you who
help you grow and make you a better person. Hence, it’s this trust and respect for all the ABG brands
created ever since my childhood which sets it apart from the other companies in the world.
How have you made an impact
In my final year of under graduation, my involvement with the advertising committee where we
managed to get sponsorships for our college Techno-Cultural fest "Celegance 2k16”, and my
curiosity which pushed me to plan and execute an online food delivery venture along with my
roommate titled "HungerzKart.com" made me realise that there are no shortcuts to success and it
takes time and patience to achieve a goal.
Further during my work experience, I was exposed to multiple hurdles and challenges faced in a
business. Working with the top management, handling vendors and interacting with media
publications are some of the challenges which required me to get out of my comfort zone and learn
something new. My inquisitive nature, passion for learning and not shying away from asking
smallest of doubts to get conceptual clarity has constantly helped me in growing as an individual.
And now, when I am finally here in SIBM Pune, living my dream to study management in one of
India’s premier institute, I have realised that my nature of being a go-getter has immensely helped
me in overcoming the challenges so far and will help me in future too!
