Zerodha's Nithin Kamath says he suffered a 'mild stroke' six weeks ago

Zerodha cofounder Nithin Kamath revealed in a post on social media platform X that he suffered a mild stroke six weeks ago, which affected his reading and writing capabilities for some time. Kamath said a full recovery is expected in three to six months.


The entrepreneur and investor also mentioned possible reasons behind the stroke. "Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out —any of these could be possible reasons," he said.


"I've gone from having a big droop in the face and not being able to read or write to having a slight droop but being able to read and write more. From being absent-minded to more present-minded. So, 3 to 6 months for full recovery."

Kamath is known to be a fitness advocate and has taken to social media on multiple occasions, to express his liking towards physical exercise and playing sports regularly. Therefore, a stroke out of the blue threw him off, he said in his post.

"I wondered why a person who's fit and takes care of himself could be affected. The doctor said you need to know when you need to shift the gears down a bit. Slightly broken, but still getting my treadmill count," the post read.
