New Delhi, Feb 10 (NationPress) Radhika Gupta, the MD and CEO of Edelweiss Asset Management, expressed her delight at being part of ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’, describing it as a significant and essential initiative.
“I was truly excited to be involved in this event. The invitation took me by surprise,” she stated in an exclusive interview with IANS.
Gupta further emphasized that the event allowed for vital conversations on contemporary topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) and mental health with students.
“Initiatives like ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ give students a platform to discuss openly about mental health, time management, and technology-related challenges amid the immense stress they face in today’s fast-paced environment,” she remarked.
She also commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his capacity to motivate individuals, whether they are athletes or professionals, by interacting with them as a friend and guide.
Gupta mentioned that having the chance to participate as both a citizen and an achiever was a remarkable experience.
According to her, this year’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ addressed crucial issues that were irrelevant two decades ago, such as AI and mental health.
“When the Prime Minister discusses such subjects, they inevitably become topics of conversation in homes and society, thus helping to increase awareness,” she added.
On a different note, Gupta shared her thoughts on the recent decision by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to reduce the repo rate by 25 basis points.
The RBI has lowered the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 percent, marking the first interest rate cut in five years, the last being in May 2020.
“Decreased interest rates will lower borrowing costs, stimulating investments and consumption, which will ultimately enhance the economy,” Gupta pointed out.
She further noted that despite global uncertainties, India's economy is advancing steadily.
“Raising the Income-Tax exemption limit and cutting the repo rate are positive steps forward. These actions will aid in accelerating the country’s growth,” she stressed.
