Zerodha Co-Founder Nithin Kamath Makes First Public Appearance After Stroke

Nithin Kamath, one of the co-founders of Zerodha, recently made his first public appearance, a little over two months after disclosing that he had experienced a minor stroke. The entrepreneur attended the Zero1 Fest, where he spoke on well-being and wealth. Kamath, one of the youngest billionaires in India, posted a photo of himself on social media, marking his first appearance in public since the health crisis.

On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Slowly getting back to normal. At the Zero1 fest, talking about health and wealth with @nasdaily, JC @FITTRwithsquats, and @twitellectual (sic).”

Nuseir Yassin, a YouTuber, also appeared on stage at the fest.

Meanwhile, Kamath’s post garnered 79,500 views on the social media platform. Users commented on the post, expressing their happiness that he was back and doing well.

A user wrote, “Good to see you back in the game!”

Another user said, “All the best Nithin! Great to see you on stage!”

“Great to see you back ..!” said a third user.

Nithin Kamath disclosed that he experienced a mild stroke in February. The 44-year-old claimed in a post on X that while he is unsure of the precise cause, he believes that a number of things, such as the death of his father, lack of sleep, tiredness and overworking might be the cause.

He went on to say that he was healthier now and could “read and write”. Kamath revealed that full healing will require a minimum of three to six months. According to him, he used to have a “big droop in the face” and couldn’t read or write, but now he just has a “slight droop” and can read and write more.

He continued by saying that he “wondered” how someone in good physical shape and who takes care of themselves could be impacted. The doctor advised him to be aware of when to slow down. The Zerodha chief posted a collage of his own photos with the caption, “Slightly broken, but still getting my treadmill count.”

Nithin Kamath appears to be exercising on a treadmill in one of the two photos, while he is shown in a hospital bed in the other.
