Zerodha co-founder and popular podcaster Nikhil Kamath will have Bill Gates as his first guest on the new segment of his podcast series called 'People By WTF'. The episode is scheduled to stream on June 14 and it marks the coming together of two billionaires who have pledged most of their wealth to philanthropic and climate causes.
On the podcast, Gates is expected to share insights on the future of global health, and his ongoing commitment to philanthropy through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Meanwhile, Kamath said he would engage with the Microsoft co-founder on topics ranging from technological advancements to sustainable development and global health initiatives.
In a trailer of the podcast, Kamath tells Gates, "You look fitter than I remember."
Bill Gates and Nikhil Kamath share a longstanding philanthropic association. Kamath has pledged to donate 50 percent of his wealth to 'The Giving Pledge,' founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, making him the fourth and youngest Indian to commit to this significant charitable initiative.
Their collaboration extends to the Young India Philanthropic Pledge (YIPP), a transformative educational initiative in Karnataka. The YIPP represents a commitment by India’s young change-makers to dedicate a minimum of 25 percent of their wealth to drive global change, beginning with India.
"This joint endeavor underscores their shared commitment to improving educational outcomes and empowering the youth of India for a brighter future," Kamath's office said in a statement.
