Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to make his podcast debut on the series People By WTF hosted by Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha. A recently released two-minute trailer has confirmed the Prime Minister as the guest for the sixth episode.
The promo clip, shared on social media by Kamath, features candid exchanges between the entrepreneur and PM Modi.
Addressing his first experience on a podcast, the Prime Minister remarked, "This is my first podcast, I don't know how it'll go with your audience."
Kamath, visibly nervous during the interaction, admitted, "I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It's a tough conversation for me."
The conversation touched on diverse topics, including parallels between politics and entrepreneurship, global conflicts, and reflections on PM Modi's early political speeches.
In the trailer, PM Modi also reflected on his past speeches. "I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God," he stated.
Discussions further delved into Modi’s two terms in office and public perceptions of politics.
When Kamath remarked that South Indian middle-class families often regard politics as a "dirty game," PM Modi quipped, "If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation."
The exact release date of the episode remains undisclosed, but the trailer has generated significant buzz online. PM Modi, sharing the trailer, noted, "I hope you all enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!"
Social media users have expressed keen interest in the forthcoming episode.
One commenter described it as "Massive!! Really looking forward to this episode and this side of Modi Ji."
Another hailed the candid questions, noting, "These are the questions we as people actually want to ask a PM."
