A social media user expressed gratitude after Nithin Kamath shared his post about controlling bedroom lighting with their Zerodha stock portfolio that turns red when losing money. The user felt overwhelmed and grateful for this unique gesture.
A user named Pankaj who re-shared Kamath’s post on X wrote, “I’m literally crying. When I saw this I was in shock. My hands are still shaking as I type. I can’t believe “THE Nithin Kamath” himself shared this. Truly the kindest gesture ever. This has become the definitive flex of my life. So I’m so grateful.”
Kamath’s reaction came after Pankaj shared a post on X that read, “My Zerodha stock portfolio now controls the lights in my bedroom. When I lose money, it turns red.”
What did Nithin Kamath say?
Founder Zerodha praised his idea, saying, “This has to be the most unique use case for the Kite API.”
The Kite APIs are a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) primarily offered by Zerodha. Kite Connect offers developers and tech-savvy traders access to the Kite trading platform. It helps traders, developers and startups connect to their trading and investment accounts, allowing them to create their own trading platforms, automate strategies and oversee portfolios.
Netizens react
Several social media users reacted to Kamath’s reply, with most congratulating Pankaj and some praising his idea.
One user wrote: “I think you should invert the color to improve your mood. Green lighting when you’re losing money to stay positive and red when you’re making money to stay neutral.”
Another user said: “This kind of recognition, especially from someone like Nithin Kamath, is a powerful validation that your hard work really cuts the mustard and finds its way to places people just don’t expect. That’s a real feather in your cap.”
The user commented: “I think more flex marks you. It wasn’t just a normal repost. Typing someone’s name takes extra effort.”
“Congratulations, this is the best return from your Zerodha portfolio,” added another.
“This is actually genius, turning portfolio pain into ambient lighting feedback,” said a user.
“This is next level emotional lighting! Waiting for the day my lights flash green to celebrate the gains too,” commented another.
