Overview
- In a post on X this week, founder Manoj Ahirwar shared a screenshot showing Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath replying to his cold email in about an hour in 2020 and looping in team members.
- The interaction did not lead to Zerodha investment, yet Ahirwar says the response motivated him to keep building.
- MoneyFit, launched in 2020, ceased operations in 2022 after which Ahirwar started a separate company in 2023.
- His current venture has generated roughly $200,000 in revenue, based on figures he shared alongside the email screenshot.
- The post drew wide attention online, with commenters praising Kamath’s accessibility and weighing in on mentorship and access for first-time founders.
