Radhika Gupta and Niranjan Avasthi Out Spring 2025
An easy and straightforward guide to mastering your money – from two trusted experts
As India’s economy rapidly evolves and more young people dive into the workforce, many are still left scratching their heads when it comes to growing and managing their money. The culprits? Low
financial literacy, and the misconception that you need big bucks to start saving and investing. For the aam janata – the mango people – these challenges are even trickier, what with all the abounding
myths and misinformation surrounding investment options.
Mango Millionaire slices through the financial jargon to serve up practical answers to your everyday
money questions. From personal finance and investing to debt management, financial risk and taxes,
this book breaks it all down in bite-sized, easy-to-read chapters with practical steps to help readers
apply these concepts in their lives.
Radhika Gupta and Niranjan Avasthi bring their years of experience at Edelweiss Mutual Fund, one of
India’s leading and fastest growing asset management companies, to this trustworthy, crisp and pointto-point guide to smart finances. They peel away the myths surrounding traditional and modern
investments – be it stocks, mutual funds, insurance or bonds – and tackle critical questions: How to
save and how much to spend? How to pick an investment product in a crowded market? How much
debt can you afford?
Mango Millionaire is the perfect companion for anyone – whether you’re new to money matters or
not – looking to boost their financial smarts and secure their future in India’s ever-evolving economic
landscape. It’s not just a book; it’s your ticket to making financial success a simpler experience.
Commenting on the acquisition, Radhika Gupta, Managing Director and CEO, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, says, ‘India is on the brink of a financialization of savings and, in this wave, many of our mango people will rise to become millionaires. On this journey to wealth, they don’t need to become stock-picking geniuses or master complex financial strategies. Instead, it’s about understanding basic money management skills, building good money habits and grasping the fundamentals of investing. Mango Millionaire is crafted to be a trusted companion for these everyday people on their path, breaking down the complexities of finance into simple, actionable steps.’
Niranjan Avasthi, Senior Vice President, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, says, ‘I’ve encountered many
talented individuals who excel in their fields but struggle with managing their money – from choosing
the right investment products and deciding between buying or renting a home to avoiding being
scammed. While we’ve previously shared bite-sized financial advice on the go, we realized the need
for a single, comprehensive resource. This book aims to answer all these common financial questions
and more, offering guidance to many others along the way.’
Isha Banerji (Associate Commissioning Editor, Pan Macmillan India) says, ‘Mango Millionaire is the
perfect blend of finance and fun – an absolute must-read for anyone looking to take control of their
money and enjoy a more secure financial future. All of us at Pan Macmillan India are so excited to
bring Radhika and Niranjan’s fresh, relatable insights to readers across India.’
