Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, August 3, 2024: Zerodha’s CEO, Nithin Kamath, known for his dedication to fitness, recently shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) of a spontaneous workout session with his colleagues. The session was part of a collaboration between Zerodha’s venture capital fund, Rainmatter, and Sisters In Sweat, a sports wellness community for women. Kamath captioned the video, "Impromptu AMRAP workout when Sisters in Sweat were at work. 1 min x pushups."

The video quickly garnered attention and various comments from social media users. One user praised Kamath for understanding the importance of keeping employees active and engaged at work, while another applauded the initiative, suggesting that it could help combat global obesity issues.

Some users also highlighted the need for scheduling such sessions outside of market hours to ensure seamless trading. One commenter asked if Zerodha was providing fitness devices to employees, inquiring about wearable fitness trackers for heart health or stress management.

Kamath frequently sets health and fitness challenges for Zerodha employees. Earlier this year, he revealed that he had suffered a mild stroke, attributing it to factors like poor sleep, exhaustion, and overworking, exacerbated by the stress of his father’s death.

Founded in 2010 by Nithin Kamath and his brother Nikhil Kamath, Zerodha is a prominent brokerage firm. Their venture capital fund, Rainmatter, invests in fintech startups and projects promoting financial inclusion.
