Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath made his first public appearance recently, more than two months after revealing that he experienced a mild stroke. The 44-year-old entrepreneur attended the Zero1 Fest, where he discussed topics related to health and wealth, and shared his progress on social media.

Kamath announced his gradual recovery on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, stating, "Slowly getting back to normal. At the Zero1 Fest, talking about health and wealth with @nasdaily, JC @FITTRwithsquats, and @twitellectual." His post received positive responses from users who expressed their delight at seeing him return to public life.

"Good to see you back in the game!" one user commented. Another added, "All the best Nithin! Great to see you on stage!"

In February, Kamath took to social media to announce that he had suffered a mild stroke. He listed potential contributing factors such as dehydration, the recent passing of his father, exhaustion, and excessive exercise. Kamath also shared images of himself in a hospital bed and working out on a treadmill.

As Kamath continues his recovery, his presence at the festival and his social media updates have been met with encouragement and support from his followers.

A few days back, Kamat shared tips and tricks on achieving success as a trader, which hinges on navigating challenging periods. He acknowledged that actively trading in the market represents one of the toughest paths to making easy money in life. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Kamath highlighted the occurrence of 'sudden spikes', which are rapid and significant increases in option prices, during expiry days over the past 12 months or more. He noted that traders have consistently found themselves unprepared for these developments.

He wrote, “I've said it earlier, trading actively is the toughest way to make easy money in life. The trick to being a successful trader is to survive the bad days. Over the past year or so, there have been sudden spikes in option prices on expiry days, and traders keep getting caught off guard.”
