Nithin Kamath

Nik has been on a roll, and for someone who started ~50 episodes ago and does it as a side gig, he has really improved over time. Full pro-podcaster he has become. 😀

Goes on to show that the odds of success are much higher when you build things around what you love. Nikhil Kamath  is curious, looks good, listens, and speaks well, and the magic sauce is launching the podcast at the right time when podcasting in India was just taking off.

The thing that stood out to me was what @elonmusk  said beautifully towards the end of the podcast, and also describes much of what Nik does with WTF, which I’m proud of as a brother.

“I’m a big fan of anyone who wants to build. Anyone who aims to make more than they take has my respect. That’s really the core principle: strive to be a net contributor to society.
It’s similar to the pursuit of happiness. If you want to create something valuable or financially successful, the goal shouldn’t be the money itself. Instead, focus on providing genuinely useful products and services. When you do that, the financial rewards tend to follow naturally. Just like happiness—you don’t chase it directly; you pursue the things that lead to it: fulfilling work, learning, friendships, loved ones. The happiness is a byproduct.
It might sound obvious, but anyone starting a company should expect to work extremely hard, accept that there’s a real chance of failure, and stay focused on ensuring that the output is worth more than the input.
Are you creating value? That’s what matters. Make more than you take.”

Founder & CEO at Zerodha & Rainmatter. Learning at Rainmatter foundation. Views are personal. Nothing here is advice.

Almost all food packaging that resembles paper or cardboard, such as coffee cups, takeout boxes, and food wrappers, has a thin plastic coating. This plastic isn't just bad for the planet; it leaches microplastics directly into your food and body.

Zerocircle (a Rainmatter Climate investment) makes coatings from 100% natural compounds. No plastic, no microplastics.

Solutions like this can only go mainstream with public awareness. Most people are unaware that a "paper" cup isn't entirely made of paper. Once you see the problem, you can't unsee it, and you start demanding alternatives.

At Rainmatter by Zerodha  Health, we're experimenting with something beyond just writing checks. 

We're creating participatory sports events through an initiative called peakst8 . We've been going around the country with Founders Peak—getting health founders (and others) to participate, not just network over coffee. 

Last weekend was our first grand event: "No Parking." Booked the entire basement at Brigade, Orion Mall (thanks, Nirupa Shankar!), Bengaluru. Around 1,000 runners representing 38 corporates, 45 communities, and 43 run clubs were participating in various activities, including running, rowing, cycling, and more. The energy was incredible.

The thesis is simple: people need more reasons to think about fitness. The odds of people wanting to get fit may be higher if they see the fun and participatory side. 

The next big one is the Peakst8 festival in January.
