‘Wth is stories?’: Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath struggles to use Instagram; internet reacts

Kamath’s post quickly gained traction, as many users resonated with his frustration over Instagram’s numerous features. To illustrate his confusion, he shared a screenshot of a conversation with his colleagues, where he attempted to understand Instagram’s functions. «Wth is stories on Instagram?» he asked, prompting his colleague Krishna Lohia to respond, «Stories, Reels, posts WTF.» When Krishna added, «There's community also,» Kamath could only react with a resigned «Damn.»

His confusion deepened when another colleague, Karthik Rangappa, explained that «Posts has normal and carousel also.» Kamath, clearly overwhelmed, responded, «What! How are people not confused with all of this?» The conversation struck a chord with social media users, with some agreeing that Instagram can be difficult to navigate, even for tech-savvy individuals.

Kamath’s struggle with Instagram prompted several amusing responses from his followers. «Welcome to the Instagram maze, Nithin!» one user commented. Another quipped, «If you can survive Twitter, you can survive anything. Instagram is just Twitter with pictures.» A third user humorously offered a trade-off, saying, «Bro, tell us how to make money and we will teach you how to use Insta!»

His confusion even led to suggestions from his own team that he attend an «Instagram session» to learn how the platform functions. When asked to share a post, Kamath responded, «Btw, share as what? Post, story?»—further highlighting his uncertainty.
