Revathi Kamath, mother of Zerodha co-founders Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, announced that she is currently writing an autobiography that will chronicle her life’s journey, including the personal and emotional challenges she faced while raising her sons.

In a candid Facebook post, Kamath shared the news alongside a video of her singing a Kannada film song on stage at a recent function.

“Within 10 months of marriage, my son Nithin was born and my life got completely dedicated to him and the family,” she wrote. “Later, after a gap of 7 years, Nikhil was born. It was such a struggle to bring them up because they were not normal kids. Every day was a challenge.”
