Formerly - PG Radio

Now, The Prakhar Gupta Xperience (PGX) – The Most Entertaining and Intellectual Conversations.

My mission is simple: To create a raw, thought-provoking dialogue that brings deeper meaning to everyday conversation & to explore ideas that expand mind, challenge assumptions and push boundaries.

No scripts. No agendas. Just genuine exploration of ideas.

Join a community of thinkers, dreamers, and builders who refuse to settle for surface-level conversations.

The journey continues. The experience evolves. This is PGX.
