She posted, “Can’t take the Mutual Fund CEO out of me, even behind the shoots of Shark Tank. This conversation is a reminder of how many people still need to learn about the power of MFs and start investing… and for my MFD friends, a nudge that a lot of people are looking for guidance and advice!”

In the video, she was seen asking Shark Tank India staff backstage if they have invested in mutual funds or started an SIP. When many replied that they have not done so, Radhika Gupta responded, "Before I leave this schedule, all of you need to start an SIP. Kaise karni hain, hum sab baithe hain, agar aaj nahi hui toh hum aake class lenge. (How to do it, we're all sitting here. If we don't finish this today, I'll take a class one day). But you cannot not start an SIP."

The staff asked her to guide them and called it a "deal done".

Users responded to Radhika Gupta's post with one saying, “The fraud fin influencers seem to have hijacked the advice and counsel space, misleading people. There is a genuine lack of good financial advisors in the MF industry, as every other person seems to be bent on making a quick buck at the cost of the investor. Time for some action.”

A second user commented, "Great spirits, ma'am. Must help as many."
