Why do smart investors still make bad decisions even when they know better?

In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Kumaar Bagrodia, Founder & CEO of NeuroLeap, about the neuroscience behind the way we invest, trade and react to money.

Kumaar explains how fear, greed, FOMO, anxiety, recency bias and our underlying brain patterns can influence financial decisions especially when markets become volatile and real money is at stake.

They explore why your actual risk appetite may only reveal itself when your portfolio starts falling, why investors panic-buy or panic-sell, and why having more information or financial knowledge doesn't always lead to better decisions.

The conversation also dives into the thin line between investing and gambling, the psychology behind F&O and leveraged trading, how financial media and social media can influence investor behaviour, and why some of our worst decisions happen even when our investment thesis is sound.

Anupam and Kumaar also discuss practical ways to understand your own investment patterns, the importance of tracking why you buy or sell, and how AI could change the way we make financial decisions.

If you've ever wondered why you know what you should do with your money but still end up doing something completely different this episode is for you.

From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.
