The cryptic hints given in the teaser have led many to believe that the guest is none other than PM Modi.
Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has sparked buzz online with the teaser of the next episode of his podcast series titled ‘People By WTF’. On Wednesday, Mr Kamath shared a short clip of himself talking in Hindi, talking about a previous meeting he had with the guest in Bengaluru. In the promo, the billionaire reminded the guest that they had met a few years ago during a startup conference in Bengaluru. He did not name his guest for the episode. However, it did not take long for social media users to speculate that it could be Prime Minister Narendra Modi – based on the distinctive laughter heard at the end of the promo.
Mr Kamath posted the clip without any caption. “You might not remember, but it was a few years ago when you came to Bengaluru to meet people from the startup (ecosystem). Your last meeting of the night was with us. Even then, I was the one asking you questions as you sat with us for an hour,” Mr Kamath said in the promo.

Reacting to the promo, a user wrote, “Your podcast has become the first podcast in which he will appear. Well done.”
“PM Modi has to be applauded. He evolves with time like any other politician. He knows how to connect with the youth. From here on out, it won’t be surprising to see all politicians having candid conversations in the form of discussions instead of traditional interviews on TV news channels. It’s good to see the entrepreneurial spirit emerging in the country,” another user said.
“What!!! PM with Nikhil Kamath. This is going to be a blast!” said a third user. “Aww! Just when I think he can’t do better than this, Nikhil sets the bar even higher,” commented another.
“How can anyone not recognise that laugh. Eagerly waiting for this,” said a user, while another wrote, “Please make a separate behind the scenes video for this interview.”
Notably, if this speculation turns out to be true, this will be PM Modi’s first foray into podcasts. Though he already hosts ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and has been a part of various television interviews, this could be his first appearance in the podcast format.
