Nitish Maini | WorldQuant - On democratizing opportunity, why big risks aren’t as risky as you think, and the two-year rule for growth
Description
Meet Nitish Maini, chief strategy officer at WorldQuant. From a small town in India to rising through the ranks of finance to help steer one of the world's most significant quantitative hedge funds, his journey is nothing short of amazing.
In this episode, he shares why the worst advice he ever got was "don't take the risk," and why he believes the wildest leaps often turn out to be the safest.
We explore WorldQuant's global footprint and how their initiatives, like WorldQuant BRAIN and the International Quant Championship, are democratizing opportunity by tapping into talent in every corner of the world.
It's a conversation about creativity and adaptability, and what it really takes to build at scale, told through the lens of someone who's lived it.
