🛣️ From Sirens to Smiles: Nikhil Kamath Drives Bengaluru’s Top Cops into an Honest, Hilarious Conversation
In a refreshing turn of the microphone, billionaire entrepreneur and Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath’s latest episode of his popular podcast “WTF is with Nikhil Kamath” takes a wildly unexpected route—right through Bengaluru’s jam-packed streets with two of the city’s most powerful police officers.
Titled like a banter session but brimming with insight, this special episode features B Dayananda, Bengaluru’s Commissioner of Police, and MN Anucheth, Joint Commissioner (Traffic), stepping out of their khaki-clad roles and into the passenger seat—literally. Kamath drives them through the city they help govern, cracking jokes, discussing traffic nightmares, and exploring what policing really looks like beyond the headlines.
🎙️ Humour Behind the Badge
What’s striking about this episode is its tone. The trailer teases viewers with hearty laughs, surprising honesty, and casual chats rarely associated with high-ranking IPS officers. Kamath, known for his sharp business acumen and low-key demeanor, serves as an affable and curious host who’s unafraid to ask the unexpected: “Have you watched KGF?”
It’s not every day we see Bengaluru’s top cops talk about cinema, their lives beyond the badge, or the psychological weight of managing a metropolis constantly buzzing with chaos. The conversation manages to be light, yet layered.
🚓 Policemen, Not Policestars
B Dayananda, who has been helming the city’s police force since May 2023, is no stranger to innovation. He pioneered one of the first police blogs during his stint in Dakshina Kannada, exemplifying a deep commitment to transparency and technology in policing. MN Anucheth, with a decade and a half in the service, brings operational depth—having commanded some of the city’s busiest zones, including Whitefield and Central Bengaluru.
Yet, on Kamath’s podcast, their guard is down—not in authority, but in approachability. They’re relatable, witty, and surprisingly open about the toll and triumph of public service.
📱 Why This Conversation Matters
For the average citizen caught in gridlock or reading crime stats, police officers often feel like distant enforcers. This podcast flips that perception. It invites us into a car ride—not just across town, but into the minds of two leaders balancing order, empathy, and strategy.
It also sends a powerful message: good policing isn’t just about rules; it’s about relationships. By appearing on a platform like Kamath’s, these officers are fostering the kind of civic dialogue our digital generation thrives on.
🎥 Watch the Teaser, Join the Ride
The Bengaluru Police’s own X (formerly Twitter) handle shared the teaser, declaring: “Two senior officers. One curious host. An unforgettable exchange.” And they’re right. From steering wheel insights to control room visits, the episode promises both levity and depth.
So if you’ve ever wondered what Bengaluru’s cops really think about traffic, tech, and thrillers—this is the ride-along you didn’t know you needed.
