On What It Means To Build Against The Odds | Upasana Taku x Salone Sehgal | Alpha Women Ep. 5

Business


How do you build a profitable fintech and take it to an IPO that was 120x oversubscribed?


In Episode 5 of Alpha Women, Salone Sehgal, Founder & Managing Partner, Lumikai, sits down with Upasana Taku, Co-Founder and CFO of MobiKwik, to unpack what it takes to build a company through uncertainty, setbacks and constant pressure to deliver.


From bootstrapping MobiKwik and building a profitable business to navigating financial setbacks, a falling stock price and the journey to an oversubscribed IPO, Upasana shares the decisions and mindset that shaped her journey.


She also opens up about building as a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, the importance of resilience and self-belief, and why creating your own seat at the table matters.


A candid conversation about fintech, entrepreneurship, leadership, ambition and building against the odds.


Watch the full conversation with Salone Sehgal and Upasana Taku now, only on @LumikaiFund.
