Radhika Gupta reveals her latest financial guide, titled "Mango Millionaire"
New Book Simplifies Financial Planning for Ordinary Indians
Radhika Gupta, the Managing Director and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, is set to release her upcoming book, "Mango Millionaire: Smart Investing for a Sweeter Life." This book aims to make personal finance accessible to ordinary Indians by using relatable metaphors, anecdotes, Bollywood references, and everyday examples.
The book is structured into three parts, addressing savings, debt, and investment planning. Real-life stories and Bollywood movie references like Mother India, Ta Ra Rum Pum, and Baghban are used to demystify these concepts and make them relatable.
To explain portfolio diversification, the authors use the Indian thali, a familiar cultural touchstone, making investing feel less alien or intimidating. The authors, Gupta and Niranjan Avasthi, bring extensive industry experience but avoid preaching, reassuring novices that starting small is okay and financial independence is achievable for everyone.
"Mango Millionaire" targets the average Indian who wants financial stability and dignity, not extravagant wealth. It offers practical guidance, including clear advice on budgeting, managing debt, choosing insurance and investment products, and navigating risks and taxes through bite-sized, jargon-free chapters.
The book, scheduled for release in Spring 2025, is published by Macmillan India and will be available through Indium. It is expected to be a significant contribution to enhancing financial literacy in India, providing a beacon of hope in a rapidly changing economic landscape where knowledge is power.
Whether you are just starting your career or looking to improve your existing money habits, this guide offers insights that can lead you towards achieving your financial dreams. The book's title, "Mango Millionaire," is a metaphor for common people who want to improve their financial status. With its relatable, culturally rooted, conversational, and practical approach, "Mango Millionaire" is designed to help readers make informed decisions about their finances and secure their future.
Investing becomes less daunting as Radhika Gupta's book, "Mango Millionaire: Smart Investing for a Sweeter Life," breaks down complex financial concepts using familiar examples like the Indian thali. This personal-finance guide offers actionable tips for everyday individuals looking to manage their finances effectively and secure their future, focusing on strategies such as saving, debt management, and investing.
