The poor air quality in India compelled me to terminate the podcast prematurely. Our conversation was enjoyable, and Nikhil Kamath proved to be an excellent host. “Regrettably, the air filter I brought was virtually ineffective as the room was circulating external air,” the millionaire disclosed.
He disclosed that he felt a burning sensation in his throat and developed a rash on the third day of his trip to India, attributing these symptoms to the severely polluted air. He further stated that, although scientific studies have demonstrated the harmful impacts of air pollution, it has grown so ubiquitous in India that it no longer garners attention.It was quite bewildering.
Individuals were sprinting outdoors. It was evident at birth in newborns and young children. The absence of masks likely significantly reduced their exposure. He continued, “It was completely bewildering.” The information indicates that enhancing air quality will significantly benefit the health of India’s population more than the treatment of all cancer types, he continued.
He asserts that upon returning to the United States, the pollution-related problems ceased to exist. He asserts that he has witnessed something in his country that is “more detrimental than air pollution in the long term.” Subsequently, he addresses the issue of obesity, asserting that “42.4% of Americans are obese.”
