Revathi Kamath, mother of Zerodha co-founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath, recently received a Mercedes-Benz as a birthday gift. The moment was meant to be intimate—a gesture of love from two of India’s youngest billionaire brothers. But it became an unexpected online sensation after she casually shared the news on Facebook.
The post caught fire online, leading to a soft argument with her younger son, Nikhil. On the Just Curious India podcast with Rapid Rashmi, Revathi revealed: “Nikhil didn’t want any news to spread like this. He told me, ‘Amma, if we spread news like this; people who are in trouble, what will they think? We shouldn’t hurt people. We shouldn’t show off.’”
Revathi clarified that her intention was never to flaunt wealth. “I just casually posted it on Facebook and it blew up,” she said.
A Peek into the Kamath Family’s Strong Values
The podcast conversation also offered a rare, emotional look into the Kamath family’s values. Revathi spoke of the deep connection and unwavering support she receives from her sons and daughter-in-law, Seema.
“Nithin, Nikhil, and Seema never thought of going away from us. Especially Nithin, he never had the idea to move out. That’s a big support system for me,” she said.
She credited her mental well-being to this strong family bond: “They just want me to be happy. They will do anything for that. They even recently got me a visa for Europe and the UK. Nikhil wants me to travel the world.”
From Luxury Cars to Public Commutes
While the Mercedes gift went viral, Revathi Kamath has also become known for her simple and grounded lifestyle. Recently, she shared a snapshot from her ride on the Bengaluru Metro, dressed in a pink saree and appreciating the women’s compartment.
“Travelling in the metro is so much convenient and that too in the female compartment! #nammametro,” she captioned the post, celebrating the ease of public transport.
In a world driven by luxury reveals and social media clout, the Kamath family’s story is a subtle but powerful message. The Mercedes was never meant for headlines. But through her son’s words and her own reflections, Revathi Kamath inadvertently sparked a broader conversation—one about modesty, values, and the importance of keeping the human touch alive in a billionaire world.
