Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, calls for wider career awareness in finance. She highlights that campuses overemphasize roles like equity research, while areas like risk management and sales offer significant future opportunities. Gupta advises students to consider future skill demand and lower competition. The focus should be on long-term career journeys, not just initial placements.
