A Lifeline When It Mattered Most

“I had quit my job in the US, wasn’t getting any food brand deals, and I had eight legal notices,” Food Pharmer recalls. “I was nearly broke, battling lawsuits and questioning everything.”

At an event in December 2023, the two crossed paths. Kamath, a billionaire entrepreneur with a reputation for integrity, surprised Food Pharmer with an unexpected offer: “Don’t worry, if you need any financial help, let me know, I’ll help out.”

What made this moment truly special was Kamath’s selflessness. When Food Pharmer asked if Kamath expected any equity in return, Kamath simply smiled and said, “None. I don’t want anything. I just want to support you.”

‘More Than Just Charity — It Was Belief’ – Food Pharmer

“It wasn’t charity. It was belief,” says Food Pharmer. The support came not because they were friends — in fact, they had just met — but because Kamath believed in doing the right thing and backing those who need it.

This story struck a chord online, with many praising Kamath’s generosity and leadership. Social media users called him a “true legend in representing ethics” and admired how he put character before profit.

Inspiration Beyond Financial Help

Although Food Pharmer didn’t accept the financial assistance, choosing instead to focus on building a sustainable income on his own, Kamath’s gesture became a powerful source of encouragement.

In a world often obsessed with ROI and quick wins, Kamath’s belief in Revant Himatsingka, is a reminder that true wealth lies not just in money, but in character and support.
