Radhika Gupta presents her fresh investment book, titled "Mango Millionaire"
The upcoming book "Mango Millionaire: Smart Investing for a Sweeter Life," authored by Radhika Gupta and Niranjan Avasthi, is set to revolutionize the world of personal finance. Scheduled for release in Spring 2025, this book aims to make financial progress accessible to ordinary people, much like the common mango being a beloved part of India's culture.
The book is divided into bite-sized, easily digestible chapters, making complex financial concepts easier to understand. Radhika Gupta, a prominent figure in the financial sector, holding a significant position at Edelweiss Shared Asset and having experience as a versatile hypothesis manager, brings her extensive knowledge of the financial industry to the table. Her co-author, Niranjan Avasthi, a Senior VP at Edelweiss Standard Asset, shares a common goal of making practical financial advice accessible to motivated professionals who struggle to manage their finances while focusing on their careers.
"Mango Millionaire" approaches smart investing and money management in a highly relatable and accessible way. It uses everyday life examples, Bollywood movie references, and simple metaphors to explain complex financial concepts like savings, debt, compounding, and investment planning. Rather than a formal or jargon-heavy financial guide, it reads like a friendly conversation aimed at demystifying personal finance for beginners.
The book is divided into three parts and includes anecdotes from the authors’ personal experiences to make topics like loans, debt, and financial independence easy to understand. For example, Bollywood films such as Mother India, Ta Ra Rum Pum, and Baghban are referenced to illustrate how loans can become burdensome without proper planning. This storytelling approach helps readers connect emotionally and practically with the lessons, making saving and investing less intimidating.
Key themes include: - Making money work for you rather than just working for money - Understanding the impact of inflation and the power of compounding - Smart debt management and avoiding reckless borrowing - The importance of consistent investing through instruments like mutual funds and gold - Using practical life wisdom (such as family rituals around gold purchases) to frame investment decisions
"Mango Millionaire" emphasizes a down-to-earth, relatable style of financial literacy that empowers individuals to take charge of their money using simple, culturally resonant illustrations rather than technical jargon.
The book also provides processes for managing debt and understanding the differences between good and bad debts, as well as strategies for repayment. It addresses the subject of financial risk, including the risks associated with different investment decisions, and provides insight on tax implications for investment decisions.
The publisher of "Mango Millionaire," Macmillan India, describes the book as a unique blend of finance and humor, designed to appeal to readers seeking financial control and a secure financial future. The book aims to simplify complex financial concepts and provide practical guidance for individuals looking to navigate the world of investing.
Radhika Gupta believes that ordinary people can become millionaires by following wise financial advice, without needing to become skilled stock pickers or using complex financial systems. She highlights that many young Indians face financial challenges while managing their resources, and the book aims to address this by providing clear financial resources.
The book is set to be published by Indium, an imprint of Macmillan India. With its approachable style and practical guidance, "Mango Millionaire" is set to become a go-to resource for anyone looking to take control of their finances and secure a brighter financial future.
