The mother of Zerodha co-founders Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, Revathi Kamath, has struck a chord online with a recent Instagram post that offered a glimpse of her life loaded with simplicity and grounded living. Sharing a picture of herself travelling in a women’s coach on the Bengaluru Metro, clad in a pink saree, Kamath praised the convenience of taking a metro ride in Bengaluru, 

Revathi wrote: “Travelling in the metro is so much convenient and that too in the female compartment! #nammametro.”

While the image itself was unassuming, it quickly went viral—largely because of what it signified: humility and practicality in the face of immense wealth. Kamath’s sons are among the most successful entrepreneurs in India’s financial tech space yet her embrace of public transport over private luxury reportedly offered a strong message about staying connected to everyday life.

A comment by a Instagram user read, "Ofcourse yes, it's most convenient time saving by traveling in metro trains in very much congested cities like delhi, mumbai and Bangalore specially, instead of traveling by car or bus."

Zerodha Founders Gift Mercedes To Mom

Meanwhile, the post came just months after she was gifted a high-end Mercedes SUV by her sons. That moment, marked by a traditional ceremony complete with a turban and shawl, had also gained attention. 

Social media users applauded her for choosing public transport, seeing it as a statement of sustainability and sensibility. In a city where traffic snarls are the norm, the growing appeal of Namma Metro—especially with its expanding network and dedicated women’s coaches—has become undeniable. Kamath’s endorsement gave a personal touch to that trend, blending elegance with everyday practicality.
