Novelis is another company under their brand which has made an impact in my mind not for the reason they supply aluminum auto sheet to automobile customers ranging from AUDI , BMW , BENZ , JAGUAR etc ( I’ll leave it here, but you don’t, you say any well-known automobile brand and I’m damn sure they are customers of ABG) but for the reason that it recycles more than 70 billion used beverage cans each year, turning them back into new beverage cans in roughly 60 days, which clearly indicates, it tries hard for a safer & better Earth.
I don’t see many brands in the world which have such a wide range of offerings covering all the basic necessities of Mankind & also thinking about sustainability. Even if it had, I believe the IMPACT which ABG made right from the start of my life is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
How you overcame challenges ?
April, 2018- The month, when the most disastrous thing struck my life. My dream to make an positive impact to the society in a large scale was the driving force behind taking a conscious decision of ignoring placements in my undergrad at SSN & choosing civil services-upsc as a career path.
While my preparation was going good, struck the news of my father being completely bankrupt in his business in my hometown-Kanyakumari, forcing him to sell our last property, which was the only one left off- obviously last means “the heaven”-HOME.
I was in a situation which had two options, First one- Don’t respond to challenge, Ignore it and continue with the preparation. Second, Be brave, respond to the challenge in front of you and try the best to reverse the situation. I chose the second one, not because my dad asked me ( Infact, he didn’t even ask a word. That gentleman, didn’t want him to be a hindrance to my dream), but because I don’t want to be remembered as someone who didn’t have guts to face the challenge in front of him.
Yeah, My dream was shattered in one stroke of midnight, but my heart felt better and I never regretted because I exactly knew what I was doing. Back in my hometown, I & My team worked day and night for 3 months which not only resulted into revampment of the business successfully but also helped me to realize my potential as a good manager , which was one important point that propelled me to do an mba from IIM.
“Be thankful to the hard times, For they have made you”
