Takeaways from PM Modi's first podcast:

PM Narendra Modi acknowledged his podcast debut, responding, “This is my first podcast, I don't know how it'll go with your audience.”
Modi reflected on a previous speech from his tenure as Gujarat's chief minister, stating, “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God.”
“When I became the (Gujarat) chief minister, I gave a speech in which I said, ‘I will not shy away from hard work’ and ‘I will not do anything for myself’ and ‘I am human who can make mistakes, but I will never do anything wrong with bad intentions’. This is my life's Mantra. Everyone makes mistakes, including me. After all, I am a human being, not some God,” said PM Modi.
“I used to wash the clothes of all my family members. Because of that, I was allowed to go to the pond,” Modi on his childhood.
“One should enter politics with a mission, not with ambition,” Modi said.
