Radhika Gupta On The Money Gap: Why Women Must Manage What They Earn

At the India Today Woman Summit 2026, Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, spoke about an important financial gap facing women: earning money but not always taking charge of managing it. She highlighted how women across generations and backgrounds have become more financially independent, yet often continue to leave major financial decisions to the men in their families. Gupta stressed that earning is only one part of financial independence and encouraged women to understand, manage and take ownership of their money. The conversation explored financial confidence, investing and why women should become active participants in decisions that shape their long-term financial future.
