Mini bio
How it started.
Nithin discovered trading at 17. After losing borrowed money in the early 2000s, he spent four years working at a call centre while trading on the side. He met his wife Seema there, and later left to manage a client’s portfolio.
Building the broker he wanted.
A Reliance Money franchise came next. With his brother Nikhil trading, Nithin could focus on building Zerodha in 2010. Its transparent flat-fee model spread through online communities and word of mouth. Kailash Nadh joined in 2013, helping establish the technology team.
Sharing what he learns.
His personal website brings together writing on business, finance and life. The Back Office offers a longer look at his decisions and doubts, while Rainmatter backs startups and Rainmatter Foundation supports work on climate, the environment and livelihoods.
