In OMG with Divas Gupta (EP103), Shark Tank India judge and financial powerhouse Radhika Gupta joins for a deeply insightful conversation on money, family, and values in modern India.

From budgeting for school vs higher education to avoiding common mistakes in money management, Radhika lays out the three fundamentals of finance — income, goals, and risk capacity — and explains how risk and rewards actually work in real life. She talks about the allure of millionaire dreams, but also redefines what true financial security means in 2025 and beyond.

This episode goes beyond balance sheets, diving into parenting, gratitude, and values. Radhika shares how to teach children about pocket money, saving habits, and breaking emotional barriers around money conversations. She emphasizes why parents must invest in their daughters’ education, closing the confidence gap for women, and how role models can inspire the next generation.

Candid and personal, Radhika also opens up about vulnerability, hustle, and the pressure of leadership. She reflects on lessons learned from her parents, finding the middle path between saving and enjoying life, and why money can’t buy happiness — but still shapes our choices.

The discussion also takes on Indian social pressures, “len-den” culture, and how families can break free from these cycles. Plus, she shares her Shark Tank experiences, favorite co-sharks, and behind-the-scenes insights from the show.

Packed with financial wisdom, parenting lessons, and raw reflections on success and struggle, this episode is one of the most practical yet heartfelt conversations with Radhika Gupta.
