Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made his podcast debut on Nikhil Kamath’s series, ‘People with the Prime Minister’. The episode offers an intimate glimpse into the Prime Minister’s political journey and personal reflections.
In the recently released trailer, Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, introduces the episode with a sense of anticipation, stating, “I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It’s a tough conversation for me.” To this, PM Modi responds with a reassuring smile, “This is my first podcast; I don’t know how it’ll go with your audience.”

The conversation delves into various facets of PM Modi’s life, including his early political experiences and the challenges he has faced. Reflecting on past speeches during his tenure as Chief Minister, he acknowledges, “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God.”
Kamath also addresses societal perceptions of politics, sharing his upbringing in a South Indian middle-class home where politics was often viewed negatively. He asks the Prime Minister for advice to those holding similar views. PM Modi counters thoughtfully, “If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation.”
The episode is part of Kamath’s ‘People By WTF’ podcast series, which explores the intersection of politics and entrepreneurship. While the exact release date of the full episode remains unannounced, the trailer has already garnered significant attention, highlighting the public’s eagerness to hear this unprecedented dialogue.
Sharing the trailer on his social media platform, PM Modi expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “I hope you all enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!”
This podcast appearance marks a departure from PM Modi’s traditional communication channels, such as his radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat’, showcasing his willingness to engage with diverse media formats to connect with the public.
