I had quit my job in the US, wasn’t doing food brands deals, and I had 8 legal notices. I had no source of income, and that’s when I met Nithin Kamath at an event in December 2023. He 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.”
I was stunned. I wasn’t a close friend. In fact, I had never met him before.
Yet here he was, one of India’s most successful entrepreneurs, offering help—no strings attached.
It wasn’t charity. It was belief.
Belief that doing the right thing is worth backing.
That good work deserves support, even when the world isn’t watching.
In a world obsessed with ROI, here was someone who reminded me that true wealth is in character. I ended up not taking the money, as I want to try to create a sustainable source of income rather than relying on donations or contributions.
Forever grateful, Nithin.
You didn’t just offer me help. You inspired me.
