Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and host of the People by WTF podcast, has ignited buzz with a teaser of an upcoming episode. The video has sparked speculation that the guest could be none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with some observers noting that the guest’s laughter bears a striking resemblance to the PM’s.
Adding to the speculation is PM Modi’s 2023 visit to Bengaluru for the Aero India event, where he met several startup leaders, including Kamath. Reflecting on that meeting, Kamath mentioned that he was asking questions back then, just like he does now — hinting at the possibility of the PM appearing on his podcast.
In the teaser, Kamath is seen telling the guest, “You had come to Bengaluru few years ago, where you met people from startup domain. You met us during the last meeting of the night, even then I was asking you questions. You sat for an hour.”
