The Prakhar Gupta Xperience
Hosted by Prakhar Gupta · EN
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.
