Zerodha Co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath recently shared a post on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, reflecting on the irony of karma as he found himself inundated with the 'unsolicited calls' from the telemarketing companies, showing his phone practically 'unusable'.
Kamath in his X post wrote, "My phone has become unusable due to telemarketing and is always silent. Guess what goes around comes around."
"I spent four years at a call center, making unsolicited calls to people in the US. I guess Karma has a way of biting back," he added.
He also shared some of his old photo with the post.
Kamath started trading in the late 1990s with a little money in hand and did other jobs like working in call centers and so.
In the early 2000s, the dotcom bubble burst and he had to work in a call center making calls all day. After that he later got into a trading stocks and later with his brother Nikhil, he started a company called Kamath Associates where they managed money for other people. Then, later in 2010, the launched Zerodha, the brokerage firm.
