}}Revathi Kamath (also known as Smt. Revathi Kamath or Revathi Raghuram Kamath) is an Indian entrepreneur, Veena artist, environmentalist, philanthropist, and educationist based in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

She is also recognized as the mother of entrepreneurs Nithin Kamath and Nikhil Kamath, founders of Zerodha.

== Early Life & Education ==
Revathi Kamath was born on 14 April 1955 and was raised in a traditional family that placed strong emphasis on education, Indian culture, and classical music. Her father, N. Krishnamurthy, was initially a lawyer and later became a Veena instructor at the Vanamaya School in Mysore. His passion for Carnatic music inspired her from an early age.

She began learning the Veena during childhood under the renowned musician Vidwan Venkatagiriyappa, eventually developing into a distinguished Carnatic Veena artist with more than five decades of performance experience. Music has remained one of the defining pillars of her public life alongside entrepreneurship and social service.

== Career ==
Revathi Kamath began her entrepreneurial journey with a modest investment of ₹5,000 borrowed to establish a small floral decoration business.

Over the years, the organization has become known for integrating sustainability with landscape architecture.

The restoration of Somanahalli Lake is widely regarded as one of her most significant environmental achievements, helping improve groundwater recharge, revive biodiversity, and replenish hundreds of nearby wells and borewells.

She has performed at numerous cultural, devotional, and spiritual events organized by institutions such as ISKCON, The Art of Living Foundation, and several cultural organizations. She is also associated with Shyamala Krishna Sangeeta Sabha, contributing to the preservation and promotion of India's classical musical heritage.

She has also actively supported the Rally for Rivers movement and numerous environmental awareness campaigns advocating water conservation and ecological sustainability.
