Success story of Zerodha brothers

Early on in life, Zerodha's founder and CEO, Nithin Kamath, developed a strong interest in stocks. He started trading penny stocks after being given access to the market by his buddies, and he had good and bad experiences. Despite losing everything in the 2001–2002 market meltdown, Nithin persevered and started working night shifts at a call center while still trading during the day.

As a sub-broker when he first joined Reliance Money, he acquired useful expertise overseeing sizable client accounts. Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Zerodha Nikhil Kamath carried on his brother's legacy. When he was seventeen, Nikhil joined a call center after quitting school to play chess after the tenth grade.

He studied stock trading with his brother and pals, and he became really interested in it. Nikhil started managing assets for friends as his trading abilities developed, and he finally became a sub-broker at Way2Wealth.

Nithin, Nikhil Kamath, and their family are estimated to have a net worth of $5.5 billion, or Rs 45,882 crore, by Forbes. Nithin Kamath and Nikhil Kamath have respective net worths of $2.7 billion or Rs 22,523 crore and $1.1 billion, or Rs 9,176 crore.
