Nikhil Kamath to Mom: ‘We Should Not Show Off’ After Mercedes Pic Goes Viral

July 3, 2025, 5:35 pm

When businessman brothers Nithin and Nikhil Kamath bought a Mercedes-Benz for their mother, Revathi Kamath, to surprise her on her birthday, they meant it as a family affair. Yet, what was a personal moment soon gained much public attention when Revathi posted an informal Facebook status update about it, which soon went viral.

Recalling the incident in an interview on the Just Curious India podcast with Rapid Rashmi, Revathi said, “Nikhil didn’t want any news to spread like this,” further stating that he had told her, “Amma, if we spread news like this, people who are in trouble, what will they think? We shouldn’t hurt people. We shouldn’t show off.”

She explained that displaying wealth was never her intention. “In fact, it was not my aim to show off. I just posted it on Facebook casually and it blew up,” she explained.

Revathi also talked about the strong emotional connection she has with her family. “Nithin, Nikhil, and Seema (wife of Nithin) never thought of leaving us. Especially Nithin, he never had the concept of moving out. That’s a great support system for me,” she said, attributing her positive attitude to these close-knit family ties.

“They just want me to be happy. They will do anything for that. They even recently got me a visa for Europe and the UK. Nikhil wants me to travel the world,” she said.

Revathi also recently joined the bandwagon of praising Bengaluru Metro from social media, expressing her ease of traveling in the Metro as a commuter. Sporting a pink saree, she was spotted within the women’s compartment and applauded the facility of commuting by public transport in the city. “Travelling in the metro is so much convenient and that too in the female compartment! #nammametro,” she wrote on her social media post, valuing the special women’s section and the comfort level of the service.

‘Hooked on Makhana’: Nikhil Kamath’s Comment After FM Sitharaman’s Budget Speech Goes Viral

February 1, 2025, 4:39 pm

During her Budget speech on Saturday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed setting up a Makhana Board in Bihar for supporting the thriving Makhana, or foxnut, industry in the state. The news stirred renewed interest in what billionaire Nikhil Kamath said recently about the superfood. Kamath had written about the possibility of Makhana turning into a ₹6,000 crore industry in the near future.

Kamath’s Post on Makhana

On January 17, the Zerodha co-founder penned, “Perhaps room here to build a very large brand, an Indian brand that sells to the world. Personally, I’m hooked on Makhana.”

In a long post detailing his experience with Makhana, Kamath said, “Makhana isn’t a very high-yield crop. First, you have to trek through thorny leaves & muddy ponds to gather seeds, then dry & manually pop the seeds under high heat.” He further added, “In all of this, much of the crop goes to waste. Of these, only around 2% of popped seeds are export-worthy. Only about 40% of the harvested seeds are eatable.” He added that whereas Makhana was once strictly grown in Bihar, it has also started growing in Assam, Manipur, West Bengal, Tripura, and Odisha.

Sitharaman’s Makhana Board Initiative

Sitharaman said during the Budget speech that there was the opportunity for consumption growth of Makhana. She added, “With rising income levels, the consumption in fruits is also increasing and remuneration for farmers will also increase in collaboration with states.” According to her, “There is a special opportunity in Bihar, the Makhana board will be established in the state. The board will provide training and support to Makhana farmers.” A national mission to promote high-yielding seeds will also be launched.

The 45-minute conversation, which spanned from PM Modi’s childhood to entrepreneurship and politics, made one thing curious to Nikhil’s elder brother, Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath: the glow on the Prime Minister’s skin.

After the podcast came out on YouTube, Nithin Kamath posted on X to congratulate his younger brother while asking a question that most of PM Modi’s fans have been asking for years: “What is the secret of PM’s glowing skin?” He wrote, “I had a question that @nikhilkamathcio failed to ask: What is PM @narendramodi’s skin regimen? Jokes apart, this is epic! @nikhilkamathcio started doing podcasts a year ago, and now getting our PM on it is incredible.”

The post soon went viral, with many users flooding the comments section with queries about the Prime Minister’s skincare routine. One user commented, “Exactly! How is he always glowing?” Another commented, “Very true.” A third remarked, “His beard is also glowing.” Meanwhile, a fourth user offered a humorous response, suggesting, “Nithin ji, Modi ji eats Satvik food, thinks positively, enjoys work, has a noble mission, and does Yoga. Nothing else. He is Prabhu Shri Ram’s blessed one, hence the extra glow on his face.”

Not for the first time is this PM Modi skincare-related question. This query has dominated many social media streams where people continuously asked for Modi’s radiant-looking skin. Only in 2021, some humorously opined, “Forget all those beauty bloggers. I just need to have Modiji’s skincare routine to have such skin.”

Modi Reflects on Being Human and Making Mistakes

In his maiden podcast released on Friday, PM Modi discussed his leadership journey and philosophy. During his interaction with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, Modi admitted that he is human and may make mistakes. However, he emphasized that he would never act out of bad intentions. He shared, “When I became Gujarat chief minister, I promised to work hard and not do anything for myself. I may make mistakes, but I will not do anything wrong intentionally. I have made it a mantra of my life: mistakes are inevitable, but I will never act with malice. I am human, not a God.”

Jairam Ramesh Hits Back at Modi’s Remarks

Reacting to Modi’s statement, Jairam Ramesh took to X (formerly Twitter) and sarcastically wrote, “This from a man who proclaimed his non-biological status just eight months back. This is damage control.” Ramesh’s remark pointed to Modi’s controversial statement made earlier about his supposed “non-biological” energy, which stirred considerable debate across political circles.

PM Modi’s “Non-Biological” Comment Sparks Controversy

In an interview before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi discussed the intensification of his election campaign and work routine. He claimed that his energy came from a divine source. He said, “When my mother was alive, I believed I was born biologically. After her passing, I realized that God had sent me, and this energy could not be from my biological body, but from a divine source. I believe God guides me in everything I do.”

This comment sparked significant controversy. Critics questioned the implications of such statements on the Prime Minister’s public persona.

Modi Discusses Idealism Over Ideology

In the same podcast, PM Modi also touched on the theme of idealism versus ideology in politics. While acknowledging the importance of ideology, he emphasized that idealism is crucial for success. Modi referred to Mahatma Gandhi and VD Savarkar as examples of leaders with different paths, yet united by the common goal of freedom.

In response to Nithin Kamath’s playful question, fans took to X to offer their own theories. Some claimed that the PM’s glow could be attributed to his disciplined lifestyle and practices. “Nithin ji, Modi ji eats Satvik food, thinks positively, enjoys work, has a noble mission, and does Yoga. Nothing else. He is Prabhu Shri Ram’s blessed one, hence the extra glow on his face,” wrote one user, Aditya.

Others proposed more practical suggestions. “Simple satvik food, or maybe millets? And how about yoga?” wondered Shaan Thacker, suggesting that a clean diet and regular yoga practice could explain the Prime Minister’s youthful appearance.

Nikhil Kamath’s Rapid Rise in the Podcast World

Nikhil Kamath And Adar Poonawalla Among India’s Youngest Big-Hearted Donors—See Their Generous Contributions

November 8, 2024, 5:58 pm

Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has emerged as one of the youngest philanthropists in the 2024 Hurun India Philanthropy list. At 38, Kamath donated ₹120 crore to the Rainmatter Foundation, ranking him among India’s leading donors.

Kamath, the youngest Indian to join The Giving Pledge—a commitment by global billionaires, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, to dedicate most or all of their wealth to philanthropy—also leads the Young Indian Philanthropic Pledge (YIPP). YIPP collaborates with startup leaders to donate up to 25% of their net worth to charitable efforts.

In 2023, Kamath and his brother, Nithin Kamath, joined the Hurun list after contributing ₹110 crore toward climate change and environmental sustainability.

Asian Paints’ Vivek Vakil is the youngest person on the list with a donation of ₹8 crore, while 43-year-old Adar Poonawalla made the largest contribution among younger philanthropists, giving ₹142 crore through the Villoo Poonawalla Charitable Foundation.

Who topped the list?

HCLTech founder Shiv Nadar claimed the top spot for the third time in five years, with the Shiv Nadar Foundation donating ₹2,153 crore in 2024—an average of ₹5.9 crore per day. Mukesh Ambani and family ranked second with ₹407 crore, followed by the Bajaj family at ₹352 crore.

The top 10 philanthropists contributed ₹4,625 crore, representing 53% of the total donations made by over 200 individuals. The 203 donors averaged ₹43 crore each in donations according to the list.

Zerodha’s Nikhil Kamath Who Advocated ‘Renting’ Buys a House

October 19, 2024, 12:33 pm

After previously promoting renting over buying, Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has now revealed that he has purchased a house.

In a recent episode of his podcast, WTF is with Nikhil Kamath, he discussed the ongoing debate of buying versus renting with industry leaders Irfan Razack (Chairman & MD of Prestige Group), Nirupa Shankar (Executive Director at Brigade Group), and Karan Virwani (CEO of WeWork India).

Kamath, who is known for advocating renting, shared the primary downside he encountered. “The thing with renting, of all the advantages of renting, there is one disadvantage: you don’t have foresight as to when you can move out of the house. I had to move out of this house, whereas I might have liked to stay longer in this house,” he explained.

Take a look at the video:

When asked if buying a home contributes to financial stability, Kamath reiterated his dislike for real estate’s illiquid nature.

“I feel something like gold can give that to me. I hate the illiquid nature of real estate. Places like this have fewer buyers and if 10 people decide to sell then price goes haywire and pricing is very arbitrary in nature. Stock market in comparison has to have more people. If in a certain company, one million people decide to sell, then it will make significant difference,” he stated.

Kamath also expressed dissatisfaction with the stamp duty charges levied by the government on property purchases. “In stock market, I can buy and sell without paying 5% to 6% stamp duty,” he added.

During the discussion, the real estate experts debated whether buying and renting out properties is truly profitable. Kamath commented, “I think nobody makes money from buying and renting a place. You do not have occupancy throughout the year for something like AirBnB. Accounting for inflation and interest rates, the return on this investment is negligible.”

According to Forbes, Nikhil Kamath, one of India’s youngest billionaires, holds a net worth of $3.1 billion.

Nikhil Kamath Reveals: No Direct Call To PM Modi, But His Energy Is Unmatched

July 30, 2024, 12:08 am

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor recently featured on the ‘People by WTF’ podcast, hosted by Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha. During their chat, Kapoor reminisced about his notable meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked Kamath if he had the ability to call Modi directly. Kamath clarified that despite having been around the Prime Minister at various events, he does not have direct contact with him.

Kamath explained, “Can I pick up the phone and call him? No… I’ve been fortunate to be around him at several events, but I don’t have that kind of access. I truly respect and admire him.”

He also highlighted Modi’s intense work ethic, saying, “Modi’s schedule is grueling. He might start with a speech to businessmen at 8 am, give another speech at 11 am, and attend different events throughout the day. By evening, I’d be exhausted, but he’d be flying off to Egypt to continue his duties. His energy is remarkable. There’s so much to learn from him.”

Kamath added, “Even at his age, his energy is inspiring. I believe there’s always something to learn from everyone, and he’s no exception. I feel lucky to have witnessed his dedication up close.”

Kapoor shared his own experience meeting PM Modi in 2019. He recalled, “When we met him, his presence was magnetic. He spoke to each of us personally, making an effort to connect on a deeper level. For instance, he asked me about my father’s health during his treatment, and he engaged with others on topics that mattered to them. That level of personal attention is something you see in truly great individuals.”

The 2019 meeting took place in New Delhi and included a range of celebrities such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sidharth Malhotra, along with notable filmmakers like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and Rohit Shetty.

Kamath also highlighted the unique character of Bengaluru, contrasting it with Mumbai. He remarked that while Mumbai is often described as a fast-paced city, Bengaluru has a distinct “soul” that sets it apart, and he invited Kapoor to experience it firsthand.

Further elaborating on his views, Kamath praised the people of Bengaluru for their warmth and love for the city, stating that these qualities make the city’s residents exceptional. He humorously compared the cultural attributes of various Indian cities, noting Hyderabad’s famous biryani, Mumbai’s reputation for having “good-looking people,” Delhi’s affluent and ostentatious residents, and Bengaluru’s distinction for its friendly and welcoming inhabitants.

Kamath’s reflections on Bengaluru and other Indian cities provide a unique perspective on urban life in India, emphasizing the importance of community and cultural identity.

Nikhil Kamath To Bill Gates: Capitalism Or Socialism? Gates’ Surprising Answer…

June 14, 2024, 10:44 pm

Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, recently engaged in a podcast titled ‘People By WTF’ featuring Bill Gates, where they discussed a range of topics including philanthropy, capitalism versus socialism, and Gates’ relationship with India.

During the podcast, Bill Gates emphasized the role of philanthropy in addressing issues where governments and markets may fall short in innovation or intervention. He clarified, “We are not trying to take over government functions and we cannot possibly do that.”

When asked by Kamath about his views on capitalism versus socialism, Gates highlighted capitalism’s role in fostering freedom and innovation. “Capitalism gives you the freedom to start a new business or try out a new product, which is an idea of freedom not based on your background or class,” Gates explained, emphasizing its power in discovery.

Discussing ‘The Giving Pledge’, co-founded by Gates and Warren Buffet, Kamath inquired about Gates’ relationship with India. Gates spoke warmly about his long-standing association with the country, dating back to Microsoft’s early days. “We hired very smart IT graduates from India who later went on to establish development centers for us in four locations,” Gates recalled.

Gates also praised Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, highlighting his leadership and the significant contributions of Indian talent within the company. “A lot of amazing people I work with are from India, including Satya who is doing an amazing job as the CEO,” Gates remarked.

Reflecting on Microsoft’s investment in India, Gates mentioned, “India is a country where we spent the most money, close to one billion dollars a year.”

Nikhil Kamath, who has committed to donating half of his wealth through ‘The Giving Pledge’, shares a philanthropic bond with Gates, underscoring their mutual commitment to giving back to society.

The podcast series provides insights into Gates’ philanthropic philosophy and his enduring connection with India, showcasing his perspectives on global issues and the power of entrepreneurship in driving positive change.
