Aradhna Gupta Dayal, founder of Access Alts Asia, says Jensen Huang advised her to consider buying Nvidia shares during a meeting in 2022. The shares were then worth about $20, she says in a 12 November 2026 post, reported by Tuko.

Aradhna Gupta Dayal, founder of Access Alts Asia, says Jensen Huang, then chief executive of Nvidia, advised her to consider buying shares in the US chipmaker during a meeting in Palo Alto in early 2022. Nvidia shares were then trading at around $20, or about 2,600 Kenyan shillings, according to Tuko.

Dayal recounted the meeting in a Facebook post on 12 November 2026, explaining that she declined the suggestion. She described Jensen Huang as reserved and little known outside technology circles at the time, while highlighting his interest in artificial intelligence and the role of Nvidia chips in the development of deep learning, according to Tuko.

The two interlocutors also reportedly discussed their childhoods and having been bullied because of their intellectual personalities and outspokenness. Huang reportedly said table tennis had helped him through difficult years, while Dayal said she had found support in reading, Tuko reports.
