Nithin Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, has ignited a controversial discussion by proposing that real estate prices should be linked to air quality index (AQI) levels. Kamath argues that areas with poor air quality should have lower property values, reflecting the health risks residents face. This suggestion came after his realization that air pollution is a widespread issue in Indian cities, not just limited to Delhi. Kamath's proposal aims to incentivize better environmental policies and raise awareness about the impact of air quality on public health.
