Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath’s Epic Police Raid Prank on Employees Goes Viral

Zerodha, one of India’s leading financial technology companies, recently became the talk of the town after a video surfaced on Instagram showcasing a hilarious prank orchestrated by none other than its CEO, Nithin Kamath. In the video, which was shared by Kamath himself, he can be seen planning and executing a fake police raid on his unsuspecting employees in the company’s Bengaluru office over a decade ago.

The prank, which was meant to test the team’s ability to handle extreme stress while also providing some light-hearted entertainment, involved the careful orchestration of every detail. Kamath meticulously selected the office for the prank, installed hidden cameras to capture every moment, and even went as far as hiring actors dressed as fake police officers.

The video begins with Kamath explaining the intention behind the prank – to observe how his employees would react in a high-pressure situation. As the fake police officers storm into the office brandishing a fake high court order, chaos ensues. Confusion and stress grip the employees as they try to make sense of the situation unfolding before their eyes.

Throughout the video, some employees are seen questioning the police officers about the raid, while others can be seen visibly shaken by the unexpected intrusion. The tense atmosphere in the office reaches its peak when all the employees are gathered in one room, waiting for the revelation.

Finally, Kamath appears with fireworks, announcing that it was all just an elaborate prank. The relief and laughter that follow show that despite the initial shock and confusion, everyone involved can appreciate the humor in retrospect.

The video, which was shared on January 28, quickly went viral on Instagram, garnering over two lakh views and thousands of likes and comments.
