“Whenever somethings small has happened and I have let it affect me more than it should, there is one motto I follow in life now… . at the end of it if you don’t do well in exam, you are jealous of another friend in school or college or that girl you like does not not like you back…don’t take life more seriously than it has to be. ‘Hum sab marne wale hain’. Have more fun in life,” he told young entrepreneurs at the event. He shared the video on his social handle on X.
In the text accompanying the video he said: “I hated school growing up, was scared of all my teachers, and lived in fear of everything. Don’t be me. Nothing is permanent, to where the world is going, time spent on conformity/judgement is just time wasted…”
At the event, Kamath also encouraged entrepreneurs to embrace risk and pursue their dreams. He announced the launch of the WTFund, a non-dilutive fund aimed at supporting entrepreneurs aged 25 and under. The fund, offering a grant of Rs 20 lakh per recipient, allows founders to retain full equity in their ventures while receiving mentorship and support for growth.
Kamath’s initiative reflects his belief in the potential of young entrepreneurs to drive innovation and create impact. He aims to cultivate a supportive ecosystem where emerging founders can thrive. The WTFund will select 40 entrepreneurs for funding and mentorship, guiding them through a rigorous screening process until they secure institutional funding.Reflecting on his own journey, Kamath in an earlier interview had recalled his introduction to the stock market while working at a call center. His success as a trader and entrepreneur fueled his passion for investing, leading him to establish True Beacon, an investment management firm for ultra-high net worth individuals.
