Entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath has kept social media on its toes ever since he released the teaser for the upcoming episode of his podcast, ‘People By WTF’. Be it because of the row over his choice of language for this episode or the surprise guest he'll be hosting; netizens haven't been able to keep calm.
Among the many things that have helped Zerodha co-founder's latest clip get a whopping 2.1 million views on X is the slew of memes floating in his comment section about his fellow podcasters Ranveer Allahbadia, aka BeerBiceps, and Raj Shamani.
Both BeerBiceps and Raj Shamani have been in the podcast business long before Nikhil Kamath made his debut in the field. Yet, none of these podcasters, or any other podcasters, has been able to bag a one-on-one interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Even though the viral clip did not reveal the name of the special guest, social media users said the guest's laugh resonated with PM Modi. However, there is no official confirmation about it. But if speculations are right, Nikhil Kamath might just become the first podcaster ever to host the prime minister himself.
Both BeerBiceps and Raj Shamani had tried their luck getting PM Modi on their show. Ranveer Allahbadia, who had bagged the Disruptor of the Year award at the National Creators Award ceremony last March, even had a candid exchange with the prime minister where he expressed his desire to invite him to his podcast. However, PM Modi had laughed it off saying, “Mood toh har ek kay bhut hote hain bhai (Everyone has lots of moods)”
Raj Shamani, an entrepreneur himself, too had a moment of glory with the prime minister at the same award function. PM Modi gave him a shout-out, saying, “Keep creating and inspiring!”
Another podcaster, Prakhar Gupta, has also been caught in the wave of memes. Gupta had recently hosted former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on his show.
Prakhar Gupta also shared a meme, tagging BeerBiceps and Raj Shamani, as he shared Kamath's viral clip.
“Shamani is been in podcast business for a decade yet he was able to bring only Delhi CM. On the other hand Kamath started 2-3 years ago and bringing PM on podium shows some do for business, some for societal change,” a user commented.
