Who is Radhika Gupta?
In a candid interview with Humans Of Bombay, Radhika Gupta shared a remarkable life journey that has inspired many. Gupta, who is now a successful leader in the finance industry, revealed that she faced severe challenges during her earlier years.
Gupta was bullied at school for her Indian accent and a congenital neck condition, which further eroded her self-confidence. She recounted the hurtful experiences of being compared to her stunning mother and even attempted suicide at the age of 22 after her seventh job rejection.
Her battle with depression and self-esteem issues led her to a psychiatric ward, but her determination to secure a job interview became her lifeline.
