Why do smart investors still make bad decisions even when they know better?

In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Kumaar Bagrodia, Founder & CEO of NeuroLeap, about the neuroscience behind the way we invest, trade and react to money.

Kumaar explains how fear, greed, FOMO, anxiety, recency bias and our underlying brain patterns can influence financial decisions especially when markets become volatile and real money is at stake.

They explore why your actual risk appetite may only reveal itself when your portfolio starts falling, why investors panic-buy or panic-sell, and why having more information or financial knowledge doesn't always lead to better decisions.

The conversation also dives into the thin line between investing and gambling, the psychology behind F&O and leveraged trading, how financial media and social media can influence investor behaviour, and why some of our worst decisions happen even when our investment thesis is sound.

Anupam and Kumaar also discuss practical ways to understand your own investment patterns, the importance of tracking why you buy or sell, and how AI could change the way we make financial decisions.

If you've ever wondered why you know what you should do with your money but still end up doing something completely different this episode is for you.

Do good returns automatically make a mutual fund trustworthy?

In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Mitu Samar, founder of Eminence Strategy Consulting, about what really drives investor trust in mutual funds.

Drawing from research involving approximately 1,200 respondents across India, Mitu reveals why performance may only be the starting point. One in three investors said they trust a fund house’s reputation more than their own knowledge, while 46% of Gen Z respondents said they may consider switching after sustained negative news even when returns are good.

The conversation explores the growing importance of fund-manager credibility, brand familiarity, clear communication, customer experience and leadership visibility. Mitu also explains why newer investors often depend on external signals, how women and men evaluate financial brands differently, and why advisors continue to remain an important source of investment guidance.

Anupam and Mitu also discuss the mistakes asset management companies make while communicating with existing investors, the challenges investors face during redemptions and life-stage changes, and what AMCs must do to earn long-term loyalty.

Is reputation becoming as important as returns? Listen to the complete episode to understand what investors should examine before choosing or leaving a mutual fund.
