Murali Naik, the son of Sri Ram Naik, came from a poor farming family in a tribal village in Gorantla. He was stationed at the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir when the Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire, launching heavy artillery and mortar attacks after India’s Operation Sindoor. The young, unmarried soldier was severely injured and died while attempts to airlift him to New Delhi for treatment were unsuccessful. Thank you sir for your contribution 🙏 Jai Hind #india #love

Meet the woman who faced 7 job rejections, attempted suicide at 22, now CEO of a Rs 101406 crore company Radhika Gupta - MD & CEO of Edelweiss Financial Services Limited Radhika Gupta was born in Pakistan and grew up on four continents because her father was an Indian diplomat. She had a birth injury that left her with a lifelong neck issue. Self-made success stories, especially those overcoming great difficulties, are truly inspiring. At 39, Radhika shared that she struggled with low self-esteem due to bullying over her health issues. Despite this, she won a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned a dual degree in computer science engineering, economics, and management and technology with highest honors in 2005. Even with her excellent academic record and internships, she faced seven job rejections from consulting companies, which led to severe depression and a suicide attempt at 22. “I’d bury my insecurities... At 22, when I got my 7th job rejection, I looked out the window & said, ‘I’ll jump.’ My friend called for help! I was wheeled into a psychiatric ward & diagnosed as depressed. The only reason they let me go was because I said, ‘I have a job interview–it’s my only shot,’” she recalled in an interview. She persisted, working on Wall Street for four years before moving to India at 25 to become an entrepreneur. She started an asset management firm with her husband and friend, which was later acquired by Edelweiss MF. “A few years later, her company was acquired by Edelweiss MF, she climbed the corporate ladder. She became a saree in a room full of suits & she wanted to raise her hand for opportunities. Yet, when talk of hiring a new CEO at Edelweiss MF began, she hesitated, but her husband encouraged her, and said ‘You’re the best person for the job,’” At 33, in 2017, Radhika Gupta became one of the youngest CEOs in India. Under her leadership, Edelweiss Asset Management Limited grew from ₹9,128 crore to ₹1,01,406 crore by January 2023. Radhika's story is one of the best inspirations for all women who feel low in their career and growth journey. I hope they will read this and fill their journey with joy and opportunities.
