Zerodha's Chief Executive Officer, Nithin Kamath, suffered a stroke. In a detailed post he put out on X, he wrote thus:
“Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out —any of these could be possible reasons.
I've gone from having a big droop in the face and not being able to read or write to having a slight droop but being able to read and write more. From being absent-minded to more present-minded. So, 3 to 6 months for full recovery.

I wondered why a person who's fit and takes care of himself could be affected. The doctor said you need to know when you need to shift the gears down a bit.
Slightly broken, but still getting my treadmill count.”
Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery.
