This appearance marks a first for PM Modi, who is known for his radio show Mann Ki Baat and television interviews but has never featured on a podcast
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to make his debut in the podcasting world as the special guest on Nikhil Kamath’s celebrated podcast series, People By WTF. The announcement came through a two-minute trailer shared by Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, which has sent social media into a frenzy.
In the trailer, Kamath, visibly humbled, confesses his nervousness during the conversation. “I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It's a tough conversation for me,” he says in Hindi. PM Modi, smiling warmly, responds, “This is my first podcast, I don’t know how it’ll go with your audience.” The candid exchange has been lauded for showcasing a rarely seen personable side of the Prime Minister.
The episode promises to explore the intersection of politics and entrepreneurship, as Kamath draws parallels between the two. The conversation covers diverse topics, including global conflicts and PM Modi’s early years as a leader. In one standout moment, Modi reflects on his past speeches, admitting, “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God.”
Another powerful exchange arises when Kamath questions the perception of politics as a "dirty game," particularly from the perspective of middle-class families. Modi counters with characteristic wit: “If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation.”
The announcement has garnered immense attention, with fans flooding social media with excitement. Comments like “Massive!! Really looking forward to this episode!” and “Excited to hear Modi Ji’s insights in this fresh format!” capture the buzz.
This appearance marks a first for PM Modi, who is known for his radio show Mann Ki Baat and television interviews but has never featured on a podcast. With the release date still under wraps, the episode is already being hailed as a historic and trend-setting collaboration between politics and new-age media.
