    The host

    Who is Prakhar Gupta?

    A Columbia graduate who came home and decided the best way to understand the world was to sit down with it, for hours.

    Prakhar started with PG Radio, a podcast about science, art, philosophy, technology and politics. It became The Prakhar Gupta Xperience: long-form, unscripted, and willing to follow a guest wherever the conversation goes, from a stand-up set to a covert operation.

    He has been named to both the Forbes Asia and Forbes India 30 Under 30 lists. Off the mic he teaches people how to talk, through his course Art of Conversation, two TEDx talks, and his book Don't Shut Up.

    Don't Shut Up: How to Talk So the World Listens, by Prakhar Gupta and Mudit Yadav. Book cover.

    The book

    Don't Shut Up

    Most people don't have a confidence problem. They have a practice problem. Prakhar and Mudit Yadav wrote the field guide: how to start a conversation with a stranger, hold a room, disagree without a fight, and say the thing you'd normally swallow.

    Prakhar wrote the half on social situations. Mudit wrote the half on work.
