Zerodha's Nithin Kamath Reveals He Suffered Stroke: "Slightly Broken, But...."

"I wondered why a person who's fit and takes care of himself could be affected," Nithin Kamath said.

Zerodha Founder and Chief Executive Officer Nithin Kamath, recently revealed that he suffered a mild stroke six weeks ago. He said although he does not know what exactly caused it, he thinks that a combination of factors including his father's death, poor sleep, exhaustion and overworking could be the reasons. Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out —any of these could be possible reasons.I've gone from having a big droop in the face and not being able to read or write to having a slight droop… pic.twitter.com/aQG4lHmFER

"Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out -any of these could be possible reasons," he said on X (formerly Twitter). 

He added that he is better and is able to "read and write" now. Mr Kamath shared that it would take at least three to six months for complete recovery. "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," he continued.
