Once, in an interview with BusinessToday.in, Upasana Taku opened up about the time when she was asked about her marital status during pitch meetings.

In the same interaction, Upasana shared that despite being the co-founder of MobiKwik and as successful as Bipin, people would often confuse her as his assistant. Elaborating on the same, she said:

“I was asked questions on my marital status, why I am unmarried at 30 and how many kids I have during these pitch meetings. People would confuse me with Bipin's (Upasana's husband and Mobikwik CEO) assistant and not as a company co-founder. The new hires would question whether they have to report to me or a male manager. I have been clear in my communication from day one. I supervise various departments and the work will be monitored by me."

After dating for a few years, Upasana Taku and Bipin Preet Singh took their relationship to the next level and got married in 2011. As per the couple has no kids and are aiming to take MobiKwik to greater heights.
