He appeared at the Zero1 fest, engaging in discussions about the intersection of health and wealth with other influencers, and later took to social media to provide updates on his condition.

Despite the challenges he faced, Kamath expressed his gradual progress towards recovery, noting that he can now read and write again, although a complete recovery is expected to take between three to six months.
Reflecting on his experience, Kamath emphasized the importance of recognizing when to slow down and take care of oneself, even for individuals who prioritize fitness and well-being. He shared a personal insight from his doctor, highlighting the significance of knowing when to 'shift gears down a bit' to maintain overall health and well-being. Through his journey of recovery, Kamath acknowledged the impact of the stroke on both his physical and mental well-being but remained optimistic about his continuous progress.
