The Facebook post struck a deep chord with many in her online community.

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. In the accompanying message, she reflected on her early years, speaking openly about the sacrifices she made and the deep emotional investment she put into her family.

“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.”

She further added, “My sons must know what I used to feed them, how I brought them up and all. Please wait and watch to know everything.”

Kamath’s heartfelt post offered a rare and intimate glimpse into the lesser-known personal life of the Kamath family, whose name is today associated with one of India’s most successful fintech ventures. Her remarks hinted that the upcoming autobiography will go beyond being a mere narrative of events, instead serving as an emotional record of her devotion and the lived experiences behind her family’s journey.

The Facebook post struck a deep chord with many in her online community. Friends, former colleagues and well-wishers responded with admiration, praising her resilience, positive energy and enduring love for her family.

“You are a bundle of energy and enthusiasm and you have an unlimited love for life! You radiate positivity around you! That's wonderful,” wrote one user.

Another commented, “Your selfless love and devotion to your family are truly inspiring. You're making a difference in their lives.”
