How to be successful! Edelweiss MF CEO reveals her favourite time management hack; Snapdeal founder shares his productivity ritual

Wonder what billionaires do to become successful and rich? They know how to manage their time.

Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO at Edelweiss Mutual Fund, said that she has a brilliant time management hack that has helped her stay focused in life.

Sharing the trick with her 143.9K Twitter followers, the AMC boss urged people to make a list of 'five key things' that require their time in life, either personal or professional.


In order to stay focused on the goal, one must look at this list once a day, Gupta says. "It helps focus your attention on what matters and where you are (or are not) spending your time," she added.


Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl shared the 'productivity rituals' he swears by with his 282.5K Twitter followers.

Talking in terms of investment, he said that spending an hour on Sunday evenings to plan the week ahead is the 'highest ROI' (return on investment) for one's time.

According to Snapdeal's IPO draft papers last year, Bahl got a fixed compensation of Rs 3.5 crore, along with a performance bonus of Rs 1.5 crore, in the fiscal year 2021. He is entitled to receive this remuneration for a period of three years, starting April 1, 2021 till March 31, 2024.


Earlier last month, Kalaari Capital founder Vani Kola had shared that she follows the same regime as Bhal's.

The VC said that planning her work plan and week on a Sunday afternoon helps her feel in control. She schedules her meetings as well as other activities such as reading, exercise and meditation.

"When I schedule time, I feel more committed to completing the activity," she wrote.

Citing an example of writing blogs, Kola said she never seems to find free time for that. In such a scenario, she allots a two-hour-long uninterrupted time slot for writing which ensures she works on it dedicatedly at the end of the day.
