CEO of Edelweiss Asset Management, Radhika Gupta, is a popular name in the business world and was recently seen judging the reality show Shar Tank India 3. Radhika, who is often seen in her strict self on the show, recently appeared on Kareena Kapoor’s show, What Women Want and spoke about various aspects of her life.
The businesswoman spoke about her journey and why she appeared so ruthless as a judge on the show. In her words:
“I am not half as brutal as I appear on Shark Tank. My profession is finance and it is a male dominated sector. But at the core, I am deeply emotional. I come from an ordinary middle class family and my family never had a corporate background. My mom was a teacher and dad was in the government. I was studious but didn’t know what to do in life.”
In the same interaction, Radhika talked about making it big in the world of finance before facing rejections multiple times. Revealing how she was extremely low on confidence, Radhika shared:
“I was lucky to crack a finance gig. I struggled with a lot of failure on campus. I got rejected by multiple companies before getting a job even though I was a very good student. It happened because I was extremely low on confidence. I was extremely insecure about the way I look and then I finally managed to get a job, and found my way into the world of finance.”

After some tests, Radhika was diagnosed with depression.
A graduate of the Management and Technology Programme at the University of Pennsylvania, Radhika worked relentlessly towards her company's growth and success. She is married to Nalin Moniz, who is the Chief Investment Officer of Alternative Equity at Edelweiss Mutual Fund.
