Q :If not an investor, what would you have been?
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala: Well, I always wanted to be a journalist. If you are a good journalist, you can bring about profound change. I even contemplated becoming a counsellor. But at the age of 16, I decided that my future lies in the stock market. My parents agreed and my father advised me to do a chartered accountancy course or else nobody would marry me or give me a job. Today, I don’t manage anybody’s money and am not answerable to anybody. I have only one client and that is my wife.
Er…my only client too is my wife. Have to ensure my wife doesn’t meet RJ’s wife!
