Own Your Story

"Your uniqueness is your power." Radhika turned her 'broken neck' into her brand identity. She leads with authenticity.3

Rejection Isn’t the End

She faced multiple job rejections—including being called “too serious.” Today, she leads Edelweiss MF as its CEO.

Balance Over Burnout

Radhika believes in real work-life balance. "Anti-balance talk mostly comes from men," she says.

Invest in Joy

"Saving is good. Spending on what brings you joy is better." She urges people to enjoy the fruits of their hard work.

Build with Purpose, Not Glamour

Startups aren’t always sexy. Radhika advises: “Don't fall for the startup romance. Build something real.”
