Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath had the perfect mix of humor and pride as he reacted to his brother Nikhil’s latest achievement: getting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his podcast.

“I had a question that Nikhil Kamath didn’t ask: What is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s skin regimen? All kidding aside, this is epic!” he wrote to X, shortly after the podcast with PM Modi went live.

The podcast marks a major milestone, not only for Nikhil, but also for PM Modi, who made his podcasting debut on the show.

The episode is an intriguing mix of politics, business and personal reflections. Nikhil, on the podcast, admitted his nerves: “I feel nervous. It’s a difficult conversation for me.” Th PM replied candidly, “This is my first podcast; I don’t know how it will go with your audience.”

The conversation delves into important topics such as global conflicts, youth participation in politics and Modi’s thoughts on his leadership. Recalling his time as Gujarat chief minister, Modi said, “I said something in an insensitive manner. Mistakes happen. I am human, not God.”

Nikhil, raising a question that resonates with many middle-class Indians, asked, “Growing up in a middle-class home in South India, we were always told that politics is a dirty game. What’s your Any advice for like-minded people?” The Prime Minister retorted: “If I believed what he said, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

Kamaths-led Zerodha is valued at Rs 64.8 billion ($7.7 billion) and manages over Rs 5.6 trillion in assets. The Bangalore-based company reported a staggering annual profit of Rs 4.7 billion in FY24, and the brothers hold almost all the shares in the company.

Ranked eighth among India’s top self-made billionaires by the Hurun List, the Kamaths have demonstrated their ability to create impact beyond finance. With Nikhil’s podcast now hosted by the Prime Minister, his reach has expanded to thought leadership.
