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, even if as little as one percent, better. In this third episode, I talk to Radhika Gupta, the MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund. Radhika is one of the biggest success stories of the Indian corporate world. She has often been ranked amongst India's most powerful young women in business. She is also a writer, storyteller, public speaker, and 'a girl on a mission.' We cover a lot in this show, about her life as a CEO, the challenges she has faced along the way, and her ideas for the young generation.
