Nikhil Kamath runs the “WTF is” podcast series, in which he invites “friends and industry experts” for “casual yet intellectually stimulating conversations.”
Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, hosts guests from a variety of backgrounds on his podcast, “WTF is.” In a recent show about longevity, he invited US millionaire Bryan Johnson and other guests to debate “where health and wellness are headed.” The American entrepreneur, bewildered by India’s air quality, chose to end the interview early. Afterward, numerous people shared their thoughts on the incident. Now, the anti-aging influencer has spoken out, revealing his perspective on the matter.
“Due to poor air quality in India, I had to cut the podcast short. Nikhil Kamath was a fantastic host, and we truly enjoyed our time together. The problem was that the room we were in circulated outside air, rendering the air filter I’d brought with me ineffective,” the millionaire explained.
On his third day in India, he experienced a rash and throat burn owing to dirty air. He stated that air pollution in India has become so commonplace that people hardly acknowledge it anymore, even though its harmful effects are well-documented by science.
“It was so confusing”

“People would be out running.” Babies and small children are exposed from birth. Nobody used a mask, which might drastically reduce exposure. It was so confused,” he continued, adding, “The evidence demonstrates that India would enhance its population’s health more by cleaning up the air than by curing all malignancies.”
He then claims that the pollution-related issues vanished when he returned to the United States. However, he claims to have witnessed something in his country that is “worse than air pollution in the long term.” He then discussed obesity, stating that “42.4% of Americans are obese.”
In this episode of WTF is Podcast, Nikhil Kamath, along with Brayn Johnson, invited Prashanth Prakash, Founding Partner of Accel Partners, and Jitendra Chouksey, Founder of FITTR.
He was also joined by his brother, Nithin Kamath, Zerodha’s co-founder and CEO, and his wife, Seema Kamath, Director.
