Slightly Broken: Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath tweets he had mild stroke six weeks ago

Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath announced in a tweet on Monday (February 2024) that he had a mind stroke six weeks ago. He said that he had 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." 

In a tweet on Monday, Kamath said, "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."

In the tweet on 'X', he said that he had required another three to six months for full 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."

The tweet further read, "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."
