From Self-Doubt to CEO |Closing the confidence gap: Radhika Gupta on Money, Motherhood & Ambition

 “The invisible cost of outsourcing your finances can be very dangerous. I’ve seen women earn for years and yet not know where their money is,” says Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund and one of India’s most influential voices on investing, wealth creation & financial inclusion.

But before she became one of India’s youngest CEOs, she struggled with self-confidence and the ability to speak up, learning that competence and consistency compound, but only if you find your voice.

In this episode of UpClose: Road to #SheSparks, we sit down with Radhika Gupta to unpack ambition, money, motherhood, and long-term thinking in a short-term world.

Going beyond markets and finances this conversation extends to how women should have agency, build confidence, and rewire how they think about money and themselves.

 We talk about:

• Speed vs purpose : how her definition of success evolved beyond titles & validation

• Why India’s growth story is just getting started - if you expand your time horizon

• Long-term thinking in an era obsessed with daily portfolio checks

• The “Mango Millionaire” mindset - making investing accessible, not intimidating

• Why women are strong savers but hesitant investors - the real cost of outsourcing money decisions

• The three financial decisions every woman must own

• From startup founder to leading millions of retail investors

• Motherhood not reducing ambition, but sharpening priorities
