Zerodha's Nithin Kamath struggles with Instagram: 'Too old or just too complex?'
Nithin Kamath, founder of Zerodha, expressed his frustration with Instagram, questioning whether he is too old or the platform is too complex for him to navigate.
Zerodha's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nithin Kamath, recently expressed his frustration with learning how to use Instagram. In a candid post on X, he said, “Trying to learn how to use Instagram. I don’t know if I am too old or this is just too complex to use,” highlighting his challenge with navigating the platform.
Even tech founders have their social media struggles. A recent group chat showed 45-year-old Nithin Kamath hilariously confused by Instagram's features. "Stories, reels, posts – seriously?" he asked his team, who tried to explain communities and carousels. His response? "How is everyone not totally confused?"
Social media reacts
His post on X fetched a flurry of comments on social media platform X.
"It is complex for people above certain age," one user wrote.
"You are too modest @Nithin0dha ! For someone who built India’s most successful platform which the young folks use for investments this should be a cake walk! Happy to run a session with our teams! @Natashajog," another user added.
“Bro tell us how to make money and we will teach you how to use insta!,” one X user commented.
