Nithin Kamath began as a young, motivated Bangalore boy who wanted to learn more about the stock market.

At the age of 17, he jumped right in and learnt a safe, conservative and educated finance game. Learnt the art of trading in stocks and eventually launched his first business.

While the initial idea was to manage personal wealth for other people, the team quickly started thinking of more TECH STARTUP GAMES.

Zerodha was an outcome of that thought process. These bootstrapped entrepreneurs are inspirations for the youth of India. Young, ambitious Indian business folks... This story will teach you more than you can imagine. Imagine this to be your MBA for a finance business. How to start a start up like Zerodha - The idea, the product, the marketing, the business model, the technologies involved, the consumer patters... All this and more.

And this is only part 1 of a 2 part conversation with the founder of Zerodha - Nithin Kamat.

In part 2 there's gonna be more on personal finance basics, personal growth, self improvement and self help.

But for now enjoy the real, bootstrapping journey of Zerodha. The Indian entrepreneurship story of a lifetime.
