Nithin and Nikhil Kamath's journey to becoming billionaires has been nothing short of inspiring. They grew up in a middle-class family in Bangalore, and their interest in the stock market started at a young age. Nithin dropped out of college to pursue trading full-time, while Nikhil went on to complete his studies and started working in the corporate sector.

In 2010, the brothers came together to start Zerodha, with the aim of making trading accessible and affordable for everyone. The company's innovative business model, which charges a flat fee per trade instead of a percentage of the trade value, quickly gained popularity among traders in India.
