The One Percent Show with Vishal Khandelwal - Ep. 2 - Vinod Sethi

The One Percent Show is an open-ended exploration into the minds of the wisest people around to help us learn to think, invest, and live each day a little, as little as one percent, better. In this second episode, I talk to Vinod Sethi, a veteran investor and ex-MD and CIO of Morgan Stanley India. We cover a lot in this show, and this conversation is going to teach all its listeners a lot about life than just thinking, learning, and investing.
