'Slightly broken, but...': Zerodha's Nithin Kamath reveals he suffered a mild stroke 6 weeks ago

Zerodha's co-founder and CEO, Nithin Kamath, recently disclosed on social media platform X that he experienced a mild stroke nearly six weeks ago. In his post, he shed light on the potential factors contributing to the stroke, including the passing of his father, inadequate sleep, fatigue, dehydration, and excessive exercise.

Reflecting on his journey of recovery, Nithin described progressing from significant facial drooping and impaired reading and writing abilities to a milder droop and improved cognitive functions. He anticipates a complete recovery within three to six months.

Expressing surprise at how someone who maintains fitness could be affected, Kamath emphasised the importance of recognising when to ease off.
