Zerodha’s co-founder, Nithin Kamath, weighed on the debate launched by Pullela Gopichand’s remark that “unless you are rich, do not make your child a sportsman”. While recognizing the concern, Kamath offered a different perspective, arguing that passion and adaptability have more than financial history.
In an article on X (formerly Twitter), Kamath underlined the risks of continuing the fields for which we are not suitable. “Imagine studying something you don’t like or stuck in a field when you know your skills are useful elsewhere. There is a good chance that you can end up being less than the average than the people more suited to the area you hate. In this case, how can you expect a job security? All of this is more problematic in the world of IA-STS in which we enter. »»
By extending this logic to sports, he wrote: “If someone is passionate about sport, derives from being a professional and fails, there are more alternatives today than ever. You can become a personal coach or coach. There is more request for such people today than at any time. »»
Kamath, who co -founded the Rainmatter Foundation in Zerodha, underlined the changing trends. “We see a trend with some of the partners of @Rainmatterin, such as @Fittrwithsquats, @gametheoryindia, etc. People are ready to pay for personal training and coaching. We need a few to evolve well, like what @urbanclap was able to do for home services professionals. »»
Its catch resonated with a lot. “Passion should never be a privilege of the rich. Although financial stability is important, the world of today offers more opportunities than ever – coaching, training, content creation or even entrepreneurship in sports. Skills and adaptability will always find a means, ”wrote a user.
Another commented: “Very well put. The ability to be able to continue “passions” without being afraid of your future income indicates how developed a country is. Providing such a cushion for “free” prosecution should be the purpose of India and its higher levels. »»
However, skeptics have rejected. “No. Most of them is no range. Sport pays when the country likes sports. We don’t do it. Education is the only way out. It was true then, it’s true now “Said a user.
Another added: “Leave the social problems to others please. Your bet worked. It doesn’t work for everyone. Let people decide on their own. Most people are unable to be visionaries. Do not push them from the safe with dangerous. »»
