Gaurav Sodhi is Deputy Head of Research at Intelligent Investor, an investor and prolific investment writer. Given that I have followed him for many years, speaking to Gaurav Sodhi on The Australian Investors Podcast was a real treat for me.
Note: given that Gaurav wanted to walk around to make cups of tea and do a family puzzle while being interviewed by me, we did this interview as audio-only. I’m incredibly surprised he could answer some of my most difficult questions while doing such things! I think it goes to show well Gaurav can juggle multiple ideas at one time!
