Nikhil Kamath's WTF is podcast named amongst top podcasts of 2023

In the dynamic world of podcasts, where voices echo from various corners of the globe, one Indian entrepreneur has risen to the top, defying expectations and earning a spot alongside giants like 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' 'Lex Fridman Podcast,' and 'Distractible.' Nikhil Kamath, India's youngest and brightest billionaire and a force to be reckoned with in the finance world, recently ventured into the realm of podcasts with 'WTF is,' which has recently been recognized as one of the top global video podcasts of 2023.

His journey from a middle-class  background to becoming India’s youngest billionaire at 34, is the stuff of the dreams, but Kamath's story takes an unexpected turn – he is a school dropout who didn't pursue formal education beyond Class 10. In a world that often places great emphasis on degrees, Kamath's success stands as a testament to the power of originality, business acumen, breakthrough ideas, and unbridled ambition.

What sets 'WTF is' apart from the myriad of podcasts is its unique blend of casual and intellectually stimulating conversations. Kamath brings audiences into the world of relevant studies, engaging in discussions with friends and industry experts. The podcast infuses knowledge with realness, fun, and inspiration into each episode.

The impressive line-up of panellists on 'WTF is' ranges from industry stalwarts like Suniel Shetty, Ajay Bijli, and Kiran Shaw Mazumdar to contemporary voices like Tanmay Bhatt and Tara Sutaria. These discussions cover a spectrum of topics, providing listeners with insights into professional journeys and life beyond the confines of business.

While Kamath humbly claims not to be a content creator, the fact that his podcast has been recognized among the best globally speaks volumes about its impact. In a recent social media post, Kamath reflected on the unexpected success of 'WTF is,' acknowledging the inevitability of change and expressing gratitude to his audience. He said, “Change is the only constant in life. Adapt first, don't fight, all of life is transient, including your belief systems, and your authentic self today. Didn't think this would happen 8 months ago, but thank you all, here's hoping I remain relevant for a lill longer until I don't."

Prakhar Gupta rightly commented on the post saying, “You have single handedly raised the bar for content in India without even being a creator”

Raghav Mehra commented, “Congratulations! ?

Yours is truly a really helpful, and insightful podcast.
Thank you!?”

Tarush Jain commented, “Nailed it ...
You single-handedly made people think about content differently, now that's the minimum quality one should expect from everyone”

One user also commented, “Like your shows because of your insightful and humble questioning style.”

Nikhil Kamath's philanthropic endeavours also find expression through his podcast. Each episode pledges a significant sum of money towards the ‘WTF Fund’ which when democratically picked by the votes of listeners is allocated to help various talented, young and budding creators/ entrepreneurs from different corners of India or towards different causes as voted upon by the audience with Nikhil playing a tangible role in making a positive impact.

This inclination towards philanthropy is not new for Kamath. His commitment to charitable efforts is evident through his pledge, 'Your Investment, Partnering Philanthropy' (YIPP), and his substantial contribution to the Gates Foundation. As the youngest Indian to have pledged the majority of his wealth to charity with the Gates Foundation, Kamath exemplifies a new generation of philanthropists who understand the importance of giving back.

Beyond his podcast and philanthropic efforts, Nikhil Kamath's investment prowess has solidified his standing in the business world. As part of the delegation with Narendra Modi to visit the White House, Kamath has demonstrated an acute ability to pick winners in the investment game. His focus on proptech, clean tech, and sustainability aligns with a vision of building a brighter future, one investment at a time.

As he continues to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of business, finance, and in a small way, content creation, Nikhil Kamath stands as a beacon of inspiration for the next generation, proving that with vision, determination, and a touch of humor, one can truly make a mark on the world stage.
