Talking to Gautam Baid, author of the Joys of Compounding, is both inspirational and though provoking.
He went from working a night shift at a hotel reception, to becoming one of the most widely followed money managers.
Sheer hard work and grit led him to perfect a style of stock picking and portfolio building that has worked wonders in the last several years. Gautam and I talk about his approach, and also about India and, of course, compounding.

After a break to get a double postgrad in finance, Rahul came back to Equitymaster in 1999, and has since served in several roles. He was responsible for building the research effort at Equitymaster. In 2008, he took charge as the CEO of Equitymaster.
