PM Modi’s 3-Hour Podcast with Lex Fridman To Release Tomorrow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-hour podcast with US podcaster Lex Fridman will be released on Sunday, March 16, offering a rare long-form discussion with the Indian leader. Fridman described the conversation as “one of the most powerful” of his life, raising anticipation for the episode.
Fridman shared the news on X, stating, “I had an epic 3-hour podcast conversation with Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India. It’ll be out tomorrow.” The announcement has generated significant online interest ahead of its 5:30 pm IST release. This marks PM Modi’s second podcast appearance, following his talk with Zerodha’s Nikhil Kamath last month.
The MIT researcher announced the interview in January, expressing excitement about his first trip to India. “I’ve never been to India, so I’m excited to visit and experience its vibrant, historic culture,” he said then. He prepared for the discussion by fasting for 48-72 hours, inspired by PM Modi’s multi-day spiritual fasts.
Fridman has called PM Modi “one of the most fascinating human beings” he has studied. Known for in-depth interviews, he has previously hosted global figures like Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. The podcast is expected to cover topics like India’s growth, technology, and Modi’s leadership journey.
