    Rainmatter started in 2016, with a few of us doubling up on our day jobs and trying to help startups that were trying to expand India’s capital markets ecosystem. Nine years later, it has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. So far, we’ve invested over ₹1,500

    It was an honour to meet our PM @narendramodi. My new health & fitness goal is to be able to operate at his intensity when I am 72. He spent almost 30 mins late in the night interacting with @nikhilkamathcio & me, despite all his meetings & travels through the day.

    Being content is the only way to true freedom. A person who embodies this is my father-in-law, Shivaji Patil He was in the Indian Army & voluntarily retired as a Havaldar after losing his fingers to frostbite during the Kargil War. He started a grocery shop in Belgaum after. 1/5

    Turned 44 today at 14.3% body fat, the lowest I have been. Sharing publicly for accountability, so I don’t slack and revert back to the mean, 🥶and maybe inspire a few folks and remind that age is just a number. 😬 And thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

    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

    Just watched Kantara, & it is one of those moments when you feel proud to be a Kannadiga. Even more, since my roots are where the movie was shot. Still have goosebumps from the last 30 mins. It is a must-watch. @shetty_rishab ♥️

    No Business Background No Pedigree education across the team No VC/PE No Advertising spending No Spamming customer @zerodha is an example that a successful business can be built by not following the norm, by average folks with common sense wanting to solve a problem.

    Starting tomorrow, India will become the first major market to completely move to a T+1 settlement cycle (China is partly T+1). It is crazy how far ahead we are in terms of market infrastructure and safety, even when compared to the developed world. 1/3

    What Gen Z & even millennials don't think about enough is that the retirement age is dropping fast due to technological progress & life expectancy going up due to medical progress. In 20 years, retirement could be at 50 & life expectancy at 80. How do you fund the 30 years? 1/5

    Someone on Reddit asked what does Zerodha do differently, how are we profitable, why don't IPO etc. This is what I replied: Hmmm... so you forget that we have spent 15 years getting here. And maybe another 10 years, before Zerodha, I was involved in the markets in some form. So,

    We add millet (ragi) to wheat flour and dosa batter at home. It's healthier & tastier. Most of us don't know that millets are also good for the planet because they consume much less water & pesticides. The reason why everyone should introduce millet & talk about it too. 1/5

    There's a new scam in the name of FedEx, Blue Dart, and other courier companies that you need to be aware of 👇 A colleague got a call from a person claiming to be from FedEx saying that a parcel had been confiscated by the police because drugs were found in it. 1/4

    I’m surprised by the unwanted noise around this whole salary news of @nikhilkamathcio, Seema (my wife), & me. The headlines are misleading. We are a private company & no obligations to clarify, but we thought maybe we should, as there are folks who are misinterpreting this. 1/7
