The clip shared on Instagram puts Kamath and several well-known entrepreneurs in a playful yet intense contest of strength and endurance.
Round by round breakdown
The competition began with a 30 push-up challenge, with all participants holding strong. As the challenge progressed into the 40 push-up round, competitors started dropping out. Among those who exited were Swetha Subbiah, co-founder of Sisters in Sweat, Dilip Kumar himself, Adnan Adeeb of Spectacom, and Seema Patil, director at Zerodha and Kamath’s wife.
The final 50 push-up round narrowed the field to just two contenders: Nithin Kamath and Shiva Subramanian, founder of Biopeak. Subramanian fought hard but eventually fell short, leaving Kamath as the overall winner of the challenge.
