In an emotional revelation on social media, content creator Revant Himatsingka (Food Pharmer) shared how a life-changing gesture from Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath came during one of the most challenging periods of his journey.
“I had quit my ₹2 crore job in the US, wasn’t doing food brand deals, and had received 8 legal notices,” Himatsingka wrote in a post. “That’s when I met Nithin Kamath at an event in December 2023.”
The conversation that followed left a lasting impression.
“Nithin told me, ‘Don’t worry, if you need any financial help, let me know, I’ll help out.’ I asked him, ‘How much equity would you want if you help me?’ He smiled and said, ‘None. I don’t want anything. I just want to support you.’”
Deeply moved, Himatsingka clarified that Kamath’s offer wasn’t charity — it was a gesture rooted in belief.
“It wasn’t charity. It was belief. Belief that doing the right thing is worth backing,” he wrote. “In a world obsessed with ROI, here was someone who reminded me that true wealth is in character.”
Though he didn’t accept the money, choosing instead to build a sustainable income stream, Himatsingka expressed immense gratitude:
“You didn’t just offer me help. You inspired me.”
