Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath brings two very unexpected guests on the latest episode of his podcast, WTF is with Nikhil Kamath. Joining him for a candid chat are Bengaluru’s Commissioner of Police B Dayananda and Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) MN Anucheth. The trailer for the episode, released on Thursday, offers a glimpse of a conversation that is far from formal.
The video shows Kamath behind the wheel and driving the two senior officers through Bengaluru’s roads as they talk about traffic, films, daily life and much more. At one point, Kamath asks, “What happens if I make a traffic violation with you in the car?” With a laugh, Commissioner Dayananda responds, “That will be terrible.”
The episode breaks away from the typical image of law enforcement interviews. It is casual, open and full ofhumour. Kamath also visits the city’s police control room in the teaser. He even quizzes the officers on whether they have seen the Kannada blockbuster KGF.
Known for hosting unfiltered and engaging conversations, Kamath brings a refreshing take with this episode. Instead of just talking about rules and regulations, the discussion touches on the human side of policing asking questions such as what the job is like, how the officers deal with the stress and what they enjoy when they are off duty.
The Bengaluru Police shared the teaser on their official X handle and wrote, “Two senior officers. One curious host. An unforgettable exchange. This podcast is a mix of humour, honesty, and the daily hustle of keeping Namma Bengaluru in order. From managing chaos to candid chats—you won’t want to miss this one!”

Viewers on social media were quick to react. Many praised the initiative and said they were looking forward to the full episode.
One user commented, “Excellent. Looking forward to hearing this.”
Another wrote, “Waiting for this episode,” while a person expressed, “Wow, this is a fantastic initiative—kudos! What we need are healthy, non-biased, open conversations—not monologues. Engage and evolve together!”
B Dayananda, who became Commissioner of Police in May 2023, is known for his tech-savvy approach to policing. During his earlier posting in Dakshina Kannada, he created one of the world’s first police blogs to promote transparency.
On the other hand, MN Anucheth, a 2009 batch IPS officer, currently heads the city’s traffic department. He has worked as Deputy Commissioner in areas like Whitefield, Central and West Bengaluru.
