In a surprising twist of fate, a Bengaluru man’s ordinary Sunday morning took a remarkable turn when he unexpectedly ran into Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath during a mushroom walk at Cubbon Park . Aymen Aslam, the founder of Klick Consulting, shared his experience on X, formerly known as Twitter, and his post has since gone viral. A Low-Key Encounter With Nikhil Kamath Aslam, who described himself as having a “sh*t week,” was reluctantly persuaded by his girlfriend to join a "mushroom walk" at Cubbon Park.
What he thought would be a dull outing quickly transformed when he realized that Nikhil Kamath, the billionaire co-founder of Zerodha, had joined the walk. “Hung out with Nikhil Kamath today,” Aslam wrote in his post, which was accompanied by a photo of the two together. He went on to describe Kamath as “super nonchalant,” noting that the 37-year-old entrepreneur made a low-key appearance without any security.
Reflecting on the unexpected encounter, Aslam concluded his post with, “Doesn’t get more Peak Bengaluru than this. 10/10 Sunday morning.” The post garnered thousands of views and reactions, with one user commenting, “Never cancelling Cubbon plans ever again.
Sunday morning is now dedicated to Cubbon.” — aymensays (@aymensays) Adding to the excitement, popular YouTuber Ishan Sharma chimed in, calling the encounter “epic.” Aslam responded, revealing that Sharma’s name even came up during his conversation with Kamath about YouTube and content creators.
