The US-based podcaster has interviewed several influential personalities on ‘The Lex Fridman Podcast,’ including US President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta (Facebook) co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Fridman had previously expressed admiration for PM Modi, calling him “one of the most fascinating human beings” he has ever studied. In February, he wrote, “Narendra Modi is one of the most fascinating human beings I have ever studied. I can't wait to talk to him on the podcast for several hours in a few weeks.”
He also spoke about his personal approach to preparing for the conversation, sharing that he planned to undertake a 48-72 hour fast before meeting Modi.
“On top of the complex, deep history of India and his role in it, just the human side of Modi is really interesting. For example, he has often done multi-day fasts (9 days) for spiritual reasons. I fast often as well. So I'll do a 48-72 hour fast once I arrive in India before talking to him,” Fridman wrote.
This will be PM Modi’s second podcast appearance, following his conversation with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath in January.
