Bengaluru (Business Desk): Revathi Kamath, mother of Zerodha co-founders Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, is once again in the news, but this time the reason is not a startup or luxury car, but her simplicity and love for public transport. Environmentalist and veena player Revathi Kamath recently shared a picture of herself traveling in the ladies compartment of the Bangalore Metro on social media, which filled the internet with positive energy.
The picture of Revathi Kamath smiling in a pink saree won many hearts. She posted on Instagram, writing, “Traveling in the metro is very convenient and that too in the ladies compartment! #NammaMetro”
People started reacting to her post immediately, and thousands of users not only praised the Bangalore Metro, but also appreciated Revathi Kamath’s humility and her commitment to the environment.
Received a lot of praise on social media
One user wrote, “Absolutely yes, metro is the fastest and most comfortable mode of transport in cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.”
Another comment said, “Looks like you enjoyed your metro ride a lot Revati.”
Many users called it “real class” and inspired others to adopt public transport.
From Mercedes to Metro: An example of simplicity
This post of Revathi Kamath is also considered special because just a few months ago, in March 2025, she shared a picture of the Mercedes-Benz GLS gifted by her sons. At that time, she shared a picture on Facebook holding the keys of the car, in which her happiness was clearly visible.
This luxury SUV worth around Rs 1.5 crore is considered a symbol of style, performance and royalty in India. In such a situation, seeing her metro journey, people said,
“It shows that real class is not in things, but in thinking.”
An example of love for the environment and practicality
Revathi Kamath is an active environmentalist and has often promoted sustainable lifestyles and sustainable choices. Using public transport not only saves time but also plays a vital role in reducing pollution and solving traffic problems.
Her metro journey was not just a personal experience but also a social message – how important simplicity and smart choices are in life, no matter how many facilities you have.
