Nikhil Kamath: Chess Champion turned Billionaire Entrepreneur - a podcast by Guy Kawasaki

This week on Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People is Nikhil Kamath, the co-founder of India’s largest stock brokerage, Zerodha.

For what it’s worth, he’s in his early thirties and a billionaire based on his stake in the company.

His “made for movies” story is that he dropped out of high school to play chess, worked at a call center answering support questions, started a stock brokerage, and became a billionaire. Kind of a Queen’s Gambit meets Slumdog Millionaire meets Charles Schwab.

But the actual storyline is not as Bollywood as you might think.
