On Friday, Gupta took to microblogging site X, formerly Twitter, to recount how, 16 years ago, she chose to leave the United States at a time when friends and peers urged her to stay. “Most people said it was a bad idea,” she wrote, recalling the advice she received about career and lifestyle prospects abroad.
“But my belief — then and now — was that I wasn’t walking away from opportunity in America… I was walking into the opportunity that is India,” Gupta said. She described that opportunity as a chance “to build. To make an impact. To have a voice. To live where three generations can celebrate together. To embrace heritage. To grow.”
“It truly has been the best decision of my life,” she wrote, expressing gratitude to the country: “Happy Independence Day, India. Thank you for the opportunities. I am committed, every day, to making the most of them.” She concluded her post with a Hindi verse, which translates to, “The fragrance of the soil, the song of the winds — here lie my dreams, here lies my love.”

The post comes a few days after Edelweiss Mutual Fund launched its Multi Asset Omni Fund of Fund, which Gupta had earlier described on X as a “simple, timeless dal chawal solution” for investors. The scheme, open for subscription until August 26, allocates 65% to domestic equity, 10% each to gold and silver, and 15% to fixed income.According to the fund house, the scheme is built for balance, aiming to generate capital appreciation and income through a diversified portfolio of equity, debt, and gold and silver exchange-traded funds. It will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase by September 11, with fund managers Bhavesh Jain and Bharat Lahoti at the helm.Also read | Paytm shares up 17% so far in 2025.
