Master your investment game with Radhika Gupta CEO @EdelweissMutualFunds

Radhika Gupta MD & CEO @EdelweissMutualFunds conversates with Prabin Agarwal for a candid conversation on work, resilience, and wealth building. From juggling roles as a CEO, mother, and public figure to finding joy in the “chaos,” Radhika shares why success isn’t overnight and why brand, trust, and persistence are built the hard way.

She explains her much-discussed view of “India as the stock tip of the decade,” walking through earnings, leadership in services/IT/pharma, manufacturing opportunities, strong macros, political stability, and rising domestic participation. Together, they make the case for thinking in decades, not days.

The discussion dives deep into investor behaviour: controlling expectations, “dal-chawal” simple investing over flashy fads, handling information overload and WhatsApp noise, understanding loss aversion percent vs rupees, and staying calm when headlines turn negative. Radhika frames volatility as a feature, not a bug, urges investors to learn by doing early, low-cost mistakes, and shares a practical rule in panic: don’t act - wait, reflect, then adjust.

Highlights:
• India’s growth story, governance & domestic consumption
• Why simplicity beats complex strategies
• How to stay calm through corrections & headlines
• Brand-building, trust, and never quitting
• Tune out noise, think in decades, keep it simple.
