Nithin Kamath Celebrates Brother Nikhil’s 40th Birthday With Memories
Nithin Kamath shared a childhood photo to celebrate his brother Nikhil’s 40th birthday.
He said people used to confuse the two brothers and call Nikhil “Nithin.”
Now, more people sometimes call Nithin “Nikhil.”
Nithin said this change happened partly because Nikhil’s WTF podcast became popular.
He also remembered that Nikhil had many helpful connections even when he was a teenager.
One joke involved Nikhil helping Nithin get into places by telling the bouncer to use his name.
A Zerodha employee later joked that Nikhil was better-looking.
Nithin responded by putting Nikhil’s photograph next to Nithin’s biography on his website.
Nithin Kamath wished his younger brother Nikhil a happy 40th birthday on X.
Nithin said people once often mistook Nikhil for him, but now increasingly call Nithin “Nikhil.”
He attributed the change partly to the success of Nikhil’s WTF podcast over the past three or four years.
Nithin recalled that Nikhil had useful connections from his teenage years, including access to venues without entry fees.
A Zerodha employee joked that Nikhil was better-looking, prompting Nithin to swap Nikhil’s photograph onto his own website biography.

“For many years, people called Nikhil “Nithin.” But over the last 3–4 years, with the success of WTF, I’ve been called Nikhil exponentially more. Forget people just calling me Nikhil in person; I now get emails, LinkedIn messages, tweets, etc., addressed to Nikhil every day.😂”
