Edelweiss Mutual Fund Managing Director and CEO Radhika Gupta marked India’s 78th Independence Day with a personal reflection on her decision to return to the country in 2009, calling it “the best decision of my life” despite warnings she was leaving behind “huge opportunities in the US — a potential green card, a dollar salary, a better lifestyle.”
On Friday, Gupta took to microblogging site X, formerly Twitter, to recount how, 16 years ago, she chose to leave the United States at a time when friends and peers urged her to stay. “Most people said it was a bad idea,” she wrote, recalling the advice she received about career and lifestyle prospects abroad.
“But my belief — then and now — was that I wasn’t walking away from opportunity in America… I was walking into the opportunity that is India,” Gupta said. She described that opportunity as a chance “to build. To make an impact. To have a voice. To live where three generations can celebrate together. To embrace heritage. To grow.”
“It truly has been the best decision of my life,” she wrote, expressing gratitude to the country: “Happy Independence Day, India. Thank you for the opportunities. I am committed, every day, to making the most of them.” She concluded her post with a Hindi verse, which translates to, “The fragrance of the soil, the song of the winds — here lie my dreams, here lies my love.”
