📉 The dropout who rewrote India’s stock market
Nikhil Kamath is the co-founder of Zerodha, India’s largest stock brokerage. But he didn’t get there the usual way. He dropped out of school at 14, became a professional trader in his teens, and learned the markets by losing (and making) real money.
A simple, disruptive idea: Cut trading fees to near zero and make investing accessible to everyday Indians.
The result? Zerodha serves millions of users, dominates India’s trading market, and operates profitably without venture capital or flashy hype.
Kamath keeps a low profile but isn’t afraid of big questions. Through his writing and podcasts, he openly challenges ideas around wealth, success, and capitalism.
