Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has revealed that his next guest on the podcast "WTF is with Nikhil Kamath" is Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sparking immense excitement across social media. Among the several topics discussed, PM Modi shed light on a remark he "unassumingly" made during his tenure as Chief Minister and asserted that he, like everyone, made mistakes as he was a "human and not a God".

The announcement came with the release of a two-minute trailer showing Kamath and the Prime Minister engaged in a candid conversation. This episode marks PM Modi's debut in the podcast format.

Kamath had initially teased the episode with a brief clip in which he conversed in Hindi with a mystery guest, leaving followers speculating about the identity of the person.

The distinct laughter at the end of the teaser had many guessing that the guest was PM Modi. The speculation was confirmed when Kamath released the extended trailer, showing the two discussing a range of topics, from politics to entrepreneurship, and the challenges of leadership.

In the trailer, Kamath expressed nervousness about interviewing the Prime Minister, calling it a tough conversation. PM Modi, in turn, reassured Kamath, saying, "This is my first podcast, I don't know how it'll go with your audience."

Talking about the upcoming episode, PM Modi tweeted and said, "I hope you all enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!"

During the discussion, PM Modi advised young people aspiring to join politics, emphasising the importance of entering the field with a mission rather than mere ambition.

As the conversation unfolded, PM Modi reflected on his personal journey, recalling a speech he had given as a Chief Minister where he admitted to having made an insensitive remark.

"Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God," he said, adding a layer of humility to the discussion.

The trailer ended just as PM Modi started his answer to Kamath's question about the differences between his first and second terms and how his approach has evolved over the years.
