Zerodha's founder Nithin Kamath took to X (formerly Twitter) and revealed that he suffered a "mild stroke" 6 weeks back. In the post, Kamath suggested a combination of factors like his father's death, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out as a possible cause for the attack.
“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," Kamath said in his X post
Sharing his experiences, Kamath said that his face had a big droop and he was unable to read or write. However, the droop has improved and he has been able to write and read now.
The billionaire entrepreneur expressed that he anticipates a full recovery within 3-6 months.
“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 added.

Kamath who has been outspoken on fitness has admitted that experiencing a stroke made him reassess his habits and practices.
“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.
He, however, ended the post with a positive note saying, "Slightly broken, but still getting my treadmill count".
