The chapter focuses on the speaker's upbringing and the importance of following their own intuition in making life decisions, leading to their success. They reflect on their experiences at Morgan Stanley and their decision to leave the company in pursuit of making a difference in their country. The chapter also touches on the significance of listening to one's inner compass when making financial choices.
Vinod Sethi served as Managing Director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, until February 2001 and served as its Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager for 12 years. He has maintained a low public profile all these years, but he is a veteran in the Indian equity investment space with an experience of more than three decades. The little I have read and known about him, I find a man who has not been just a multidisciplinary thinker but also a true Karmayogi who has combined his inner voice at a number of times with mindful decisions and rightful efforts.
