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.
BharatPe founder and former shark of Shark Tank India, Ashneer Grover, replied, “Dude, take care. Most likely you are deeply affected because of passing away of your dad - it got me too after my dad’s demise - I simply collapsed one day. Take a break !”
Capitalmind founder and CEO, Deepak Shenoy said, “My goodness, this has been a super tough time for you Nithin, take it easy and wish you the best to be healthy and smiling soon!” Hepatologist Cyriac Abby Philips, aka TheLiverDoc, said, “Please take care Nithin. Get well soon! You will be alright and A-ok.”
In his post, Nithin added that he is slightly broken but still getting his treadmill count.
