Today's episode of Money Talks features none other than Nikhil Kamath, who is the co-founder of Zerodha, my favourite trading platform.
We talk about his growing up years and his equation with money, how his manager trusted him to manage his funds, how his parents didn't know about him dropping out, how he manages to maintain this Zen like attitude while working in a volatile market, and lots of questions that was insightful to deep dive with him, and I am sure you would enjoy them as much as I did!

Ek sip 15k ka karu?? Ya fir 5k karke 3 sip karu?? Konsa sahi hoga?? Or return kisme achha milega pls reply ❤

[@harshitgangwar4500]

The Highlight for me was - "The abiilty to buy something and not buying it is more powerful and cherishing than actually going ahead and buying it"

[@kinshukbiyani]

The ability to buy something & not buying it..is more powerful and cherishing than actually going ahead and buying it.

[@kailash12jan]

I liked the lines "Having the ability to buy something and not buying it, is more cherishing and powerful than actually buying it".

[@sekuribindu2170]

You made him smile.. most of the other interviewers could not..!! Very witty set of questions too👌

[@abhijeetgyal]

First time I'm seeing a rich guy, and feeling this guy deserves it😅, great interview ankur, loved every bit of it👏👏👏👌

[@manage-better]

This is the best episode you created Ankur. And it was possible only because of what you have done over the years and built these relationships. Getting Nikhil to talk so candidly means he trusts you. And that is gold.

[@sambitkumarrout6842]

The sense of calmness, clarity in Nikhil(&Nithin) about lot of things is just mind boggling. Time seems to just go slowly everytime Nikhil speaks. What insights!!

[@TheFaheem0707]

I love the kind of relevant questions you ask guests. You keep it so real and let them speak sans all the huff puff.

[@kushjain21]

Ankur Warikoo is someone we all were looking for and finally found him.

[@rahulshetty1233]

Nikhil was super honest abt his upbringing and what money means to him. Liked it

[@hrishikeshkuyate9178]

How famous people are just a normal human beings with slightly different mentality that what we can get from this conversation... Thanks for this wonderful conversation 😊

[@nani8701]

This is the best podcast I've listened to in this year

[@fabeldrish]

Thanks Ankur. That was top-notch, absolutely loved how you ran it & yes, the experience indeed got better at 1.5x 😊 Such a smart move to put that disclaimer out right in the beginning, haven’t really come across anybody else flagging that in their videos.

[@iamvritant]

One of the best interviews, hands down. And Nikhil’s answers didn't do any less than blow the mind-multiple times. Especially that quote: “having the ability to buy something and not buying it is more powerful and cherish able than actually going ahead and buying it."

[@Abhishek_Gadhethariya]

stopped the video and noted down the quote in my diary right away.

[@satyamsagar]

🤩

[@AshishKumar-mj8gm]

Such a great conversation, Understood lots of good things Thanks Ankur.

[@srs.shashank]

"Having the ability to buy something and not buy it is the most cherishing" this is what we must aspire for.

[@niveditaprabhu7645]

Loved this interview and the precise anecdotes towards handling money and the philosophy behind it. Thank you Ankur Warikoo and Nikhil Kamath. As a Kamath myself hope to learn much more from you!

Hi sir. I m dr megha, a budding surgeon, I have always been neglecting investments back few yrs because I didn't understand finance at all. But now understanding that my hard earned salary is too low to make my dreams come true. I have taken a leap of faith and started watching video to learn basics , whem i stumbled over your videos. You know i do understand few things now, thanks to you, even i started investigating. I m watching all your videos whenever i ger tym. Its so good that i m able to learn these finance myself, all thanks to you. You speak great.

[@mansidhiman9284]

One of the best podcasts on your channel so far.

[@ANUJKUMAR-jv4vt]

Really like his thought on buying branded stuff.

[@MrMaafiaa]

Kudos to Ankur for this fantastic talk! After seeing so many of Nikhil's interviews, I thought it's not going to be anything new. But, thanks to Ankur, he masterfully handled this "tough" interview. Why tough, you may ask? Well, I thought Nikhil wasn't acting like a great interviewee and it was all left to Ankur's positivity and zeal to learn more about him. And, in return he got us all of these nuggets of gold in the form of stories. So, thank you, Ankur! :)

[@Thedevm2singh]

At first I was looking for Nithin but now I feel I needed to listen Nikhil.

[@vishnuvardhan91]

Great conversation and Nikhil’s articulations were awesome.

The wealthy have the ability to buy anything but not buying it unless it is a need and necessity The rich do buy anything they want to fulfill their wants with their money. The broke buy everything they want with the borrowed money or with the money they haven't earned yet (EMI).

[@swachchhandam]

Back in time he loved watches and now there was no watch on his wrist. Thanks Ankur bhai for calling Nikhil.

The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by the government is enough to push people into financial ventures. Well, I'm taking a trip into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic. Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability..,
