Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, is quite active on social media platforms and often gives glimpses into her personal life alongside professional updates. On Wednesday, Gupta shared a heartwarming Instagram post featuring her two-year-old son. The post quickly garnered attention, with Gupta delving into the topic of work-life balance and describing it as a "beautiful chaos."
In the shared video, Gupta is captured speaking on stage at a Zerodha event in Bengaluru. Amidst her speech, her son, Remy, seeks to approach her. Within moments, someone assists him and brings him to her. Gupta promptly accommodates him on her lap and seamlessly continues with her address.
In the caption, she wrote, “I am probably asked about work life balance at every forum and stage. And I always say the best way to describe it is beautiful chaos.”
“And this is what beautiful chaos looks like. When you go to Bangalore for a working weekend and have to take the kiddo along. And just as you are ready to start speaking Baby Shark looks up to the stage and makes his move. Because the person on stage is not CEO or Shark, but first Mama and always Mama. And so he makes his move. And finance and snuggles mix themselves just like that,” the Shark Tank Judge added.
This Instagram post by Edelweiss MF’s CEO attracted several likes and comments from internet users. “Hope companies understand that especially a mom cannot deattach herself from kids… the background noises at times should be ignored,” wrote one of the Instagram users.
“Mam u are setting a new example on how organisations/people should realise that post kids women become even more responsible and reliable and that they never miss out on managing things well or let's say even great,” added another user.
A third user wrote, “You are an inspiration.” Another user commented, "Such high goals you are setting."
