In a chance encounter that turned an ordinary Sunday morning into an extraordinary one, Bengaluru residents stumbled upon a surprise guest at Cubbon Park's mushroom walk - none other than Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha. Aymen Aslam, founder of Klick Consulting, was one of the lucky few who met Mr Kamath and shared his experience in a post on X. Mr Aslam said that he was having a rough week when his girlfriend convinced him to join a "mushroom walk" at Cubbon Park. Expecting a dull afternoon, he was thrilled to discover that Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, had also joined the group.
"Hung out with Nikhil Kamath today. My girlfriend dragged me to this thing called a “mushroom walk” in Cubbon Park. Guess who also joined in? Yes, Nikhil Kamath. 10/10 Sunday morning," Mr Aslam wrote and shared a photo that shows him posing with Mr Kamath.

In a follow-up post, Mr Aslam described him as "super nonchalant" who opted for a low-key appearance at Cubbon Park, sans security. Reacting to the pictures, one user wrote, ''Never cancelling cubbon plans ever again. Sunday morning dedicated to Cubbon now.''
Another commented, ''Luck randomly saying yes sometimes gives a huge surprise.'' A third said, ''What even !! How lucky.''
Mr Kamath also shared glimpses from the mushroom walk and showcased the unique experiences that make Bangalore special. In an Instagram post, he shared a few pictures and wrote, ''To people who ask why Bangalore is special Sunday morning.''
