How One Late-Night Email Changed an Entrepreneur’s Career Forever
A brief email exchange in 2020 left a lasting impact on entrepreneur Manoj Ahirwar. After launching his startup MoneyFit, he reached out to Nithin Kamath, the founder of Zerodha, not expecting a reply. Within an hour, Kamath responded—and even reviewed the pitch before looping in his team for feedback.
The interaction began when Ahirwar sent a late-night message to Kamath shortly after MoneyFit’s launch. Despite the startup not scaling as planned, the quick and personal reply stood out. Kamath not only read the email but also tagged several team members to assess the proposal.
Ahirwar later shared the story online, sparking discussions about how small gestures from established founders can influence early-stage entrepreneurs. Many users noted that such brief yet genuine engagements often provide motivation and validation. Though MoneyFit didn’t succeed, Ahirwar persisted, building another company that has now generated over $200,000 in revenue over 2.5 years.
He attributes his progress not to overnight success but to consistent effort. The unexpected encouragement from Kamath, he said, reinforced the value of persistence over quick wins.
The exchange between Ahirwar and Kamath remains a talked-about example of how mentorship, even in short bursts, can shape careers. While MoneyFit didn’t grow as envisioned, Ahirwar’s later venture demonstrates how early support can fuel long-term resilience. His story continues to highlight the role of accessibility in entrepreneurship.
