Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath turns 40, brother Nithin recalls his connections from early age: 'Just tell the bouncer my name'
Zerodha founder and CEO Nithin Kamath marked his younger brother Nikhil Kamath’s 40th birthday with a throwback photo and a humorous note about their changing public identities. He also recalled how Nikhil was the family’s go-to person for everything from connections to finding places to go out.
Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath celebrated his brother Nikhil's 40th birthday with a nostalgic post on X, recalling years of mistaken identity. The brothers, separated by just a few years, have long been confused for one another. Though this confusion persists, Nikhil's recent rise to fame through his popular WTF podcast seems to have reversed the trend.
People now frequently address Nikhil by name, rather than his brother Nithin. The shift in recognition stems from Nikhil's significant influence and connections, which he has cultivated since his teenage years. One amusing anecdote from their youth involved Nikhil knowing the best drinking spots where entry would be free if only you told the bouncer Nithin's name.
Reflecting on the milestone, Nithin admitted to feeling older upon hearing Nikhil reach 40. The brothers share a lighthearted rapport, with Zerodha employees often engaging in playful banter about their appearances. In a related post, an employee jokingly claimed Nikhil was more attractive, leading Nithin to respond by replacing his own photo with Nikhil's on his website.
