Don't make THESE money mistakes ft. Nithin Kamath & Kailash Nadh | FCTC Podcast | EP4 | PT1

Welcome to From Code to Culture, a podcast by UnboxingBLR.

This is From Code to Culture’s fourth episode featuring Nithin Kamath & Kailash Nadh; CEO & co-founder, and CTO at Zerodha, respectively.

Nithin Kamath deep dives into Zerodha’s journey - from being a virtually unknown broking firm in 2010 to commanding global attention as one of India’s most trusted trading platforms with a net valuation of $3.6 billion.

Watch Nithin’s journey developing a simple pricing model for beginner traders, investing in 100+ startups through Rainmatter Foundation, empowering traders and democratising investing through their company ethos.

Despite Mumbai being the obvious choice, Nithin and Kailash were insistent on Zerodha’s HQ being in Bengaluru, and how the city was imperative to building a healthy company culture at Zerodha.

In an exclusive FCTC only bit, explore the duo’s philosophical take on social media, information consumption, algorithms, fitness, and deeper introspection on materialism, money, and the purpose of any business.

Tune in, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
