What happens when the billionaire voice of India’s startup scene becomes the subject of a parody? You get viral gold. Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and host of the widely viewed WTF is podcast, found himself chuckling at an eerily accurate—and hilariously exaggerated—impression of his signature deep-toned, meandering question style. The mastermind behind the mimicry? Content creator Rohit Raghvendra, who uploaded a video to Instagram on Thursday, perfectly capturing Kamath’s calm cadence and philosophical curiosity that usually fills his over-two-hour-long podcast episodes.
Fancy Food, Existential Questions, and a Viral Reel
Raghvendra's skit cleverly leaned into what viewers have come to love (and sometimes chuckle at) in Kamath's show: profound questions paired with gourmet dining. Mimicking Kamath’s relaxed tone and reflective body language, Raghvendra served questions like, “What’s your advice to someone who went viral for slapping their brother in a Rakshabandhan reel but now wants to start a meditation podcast?” The satire landed with a punch, echoing Kamath’s signature style of digging deep into the psyche of creators, entrepreneurs, and even policymakers—with a mouthful of artisanal food in tow.
Even the caption of the post packed a comic jibe, it read- "You cant ask such intense questions while also serving me some fancy food, I can only focus on one thing 🙏🏽"
When the Mimic Meets the Muse
The imitation didn’t just amuse the masses—it reached Kamath himself, who responded with a “rolling on the floor laughing” emoji in the comments. BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover also chimed in, calling the reel “hilarious.” The video’s virality is a testament to Kamath’s cultural imprint and the internet’s ability to both revere and rib public figures in equal measure.
Kamath’s WTF is podcast has garnered over 1.5 million YouTube subscribers, thanks to its eclectic mix of guests—from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to actor Ranbir Kapoor and age-hacking millionaire Bryan Johnson. The show is known not just for its guest list but for Kamath’s reflective questions that often seem to come out of a philosopher’s notebook rather than a startup playbook.
