First they called him Nithin, then WTF flipped the script: Nithin Kamath’s birthday wish as Nikhil turns 40
Nikhil Kamath’s growing WTF and WTFund profile has ended years of confusion with brother Nithin. Nithin also recalls Zerodha’s early press breakthrough, which nearly doubled monthly account openings and revealed an unexpected growth opportunity.
Nikhil Kamath, the co-founder of WTFund, recently celebrated his 40th birthday, experiencing a significant shift in how he is addressed by others. For many years, Nikhil and his brother Nithin were often confused for one another, with Nikhil being the individual to whom others turned for guidance and support. Despite this, Nithin shared that he is now called Nikhil "exponentially more" than before, with people reaching out to him via emails, LinkedIn messages, and tweets on a daily basis.
The elder brother reminisced about their younger years, recalling how Nikhil would always point him towards places with no entry fee, simply by providing his name to the bouncer. Reflecting on this, Nithin expressed feeling much older upon realizing his brother's 40th birthday. Nithin Kamath also shared a memory from 15 years ago, recounting his first appearance in the press when Zerodha was still in its early stages.
The article, which helped increase account openings, led him to believe he had discovered a growth hack.
