Hi Reader,

At the NDTV World Summit 2026, Nikhil Kamath was asked what he would do “If God Forbid Zerodha disappears & you just had ₹10 lakhs in his pocket.”

His explanation was revealing: content is one of the few things almost anyone can begin creating, and the initial cost can be very low. The opportunity, in his view, comes when that content earns distribution.

There is an important nuance here. Kamath was not saying that someone should burn ₹10 lakh on expensive cameras, production crews or a large content team. In fact, he explicitly pointed to the low cost of getting started.

The larger idea was to build an audience and the ability to reach that audience. A business can then be built around that distribution. That is a much more consequential proposition than simply telling founders to post more often.

Content creation and content distribution are not the same thing

Most businesses have understood that they need to be visible online. They have a LinkedIn page, an Instagram account, perhaps a YouTube channel, and someone responsible for putting out posts. Yet a surprising number of these businesses struggle to translate that activity into meaningful attention, credibility or commercial opportunity.

The problem is often a fundamental misunderstanding of what content is supposed to achieve. Publishing is the act of putting something out. Distribution is the process of ensuring that the right people discover it, consume it, remember it and have a reason to return. One is an activity. The other is a strategic capability.

Why simply posting content rarely delivers the desired result

The volume of content being published in the AI world has increased dramatically. In this environment, consistency is necessary, but it is not a differentiator by itself. It cannot, on its own, establish why anyone should care.

• Without a clear point of view, content becomes interchangeable.
• Without audience understanding, it speaks to everyone and resonates with very few.
• Without strong packaging, even a valuable insight can be overlooked.
• And without distribution, a good piece of content may never reach the people it was created for.

What an intelligent content strategy actually requires

A serious content program brings together several disciplines. They are interdependent, and treating them as isolated production tasks is where many businesses lose momentum. Read the whole article here.
