Zerodha co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath says he loses a ₹2.5 lakh fitness wager to an employee after the employee successfully loses weight. Kamath shared the update on X along with a photo involving the employee, Rohit Agarwala, saying he was happy he lost the bet. Multiple reports describe Agarwala’s achievement as losing around 30 kg, which exceeded the target set for the fitness challenge. After reaching the goal, Agarwala is reported to have received (or “flexed”) the ₹2.5 lakh reward from Kamath as agreed under the wager. Sources also highlight Agarwala’s view that the main win is improved health rather than the monetary payout. The posts attract attention online, with some reactions framing the “loss” by the CEO as a positive outcome given the wellness focus. Overall, the story centers on a workplace fitness challenge where performance against health goals leads to a monetary reward, and the CEO publicly recognizes and celebrates the employee’s result.
