Thu Jan 09 23:04:21 UTC 2025: ## Modi Makes Podcast Debut with Zerodha Founder Nikhil Kamath
**NEW DELHI, January 9, 2025** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi made history today, appearing on his first-ever podcast, a conversation with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath for his show, “People by WTF.” A two-minute trailer released on X (formerly Twitter) by Kamath generated significant online buzz, showcasing snippets of their candid discussion covering politics, leadership, entrepreneurship, and global affairs.
The trailer reveals a surprisingly informal exchange. Modi, reflecting on his career, shared a personal anecdote about admitting a mistake during his time as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, stating, “I am human, not a God.” Kamath, visibly nervous about interviewing the Prime Minister, was reassured by Modi, who jokingly admitted, “This is my first podcast, I don’t know how it’ll go with your audience.” The conversation also included lighter moments, such as Kamath’s self-deprecating remarks about his Hindi skills.
Modi offered advice to aspiring young politicians, urging them to be driven by a mission rather than mere ambition. Addressing global conflicts, he reiterated India’s stance on the situations in Gaza and Ukraine: “We are not neutral. We remain on the side of peace.”
The announcement of the episode, titled “People with The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi,” has already created a wave of excitement online. X users expressed anticipation, with many predicting it would become one of India’s most viewed podcasts. While the release date remains unannounced, the trailer alone has cemented this as a major podcasting event.
