When you scroll through the recent episodes of his podcast The Prakhar Gupta Xperience (PGX), you’ll find conversations ranging from sustainability to masculinity, from geopolitics to meditation, all held with the same approachable voice and thoughtful tone. According to his podcast details, Gupta’s mission is “to create a raw, thought-provoking dialogue that brings deeper meaning to everyday conversation.” 

Born in New Delhi in the mid-1990s, Gupta’s early life reflected the typical middle-class Indian youth, but with a twist. While many his age chose comfort, he gravitated toward questions: “What drives us? Why do we act the way we do? How do we lead meaningful lives?”

His educational journey took him from a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (as mentions online suggest) into deeper studies, his LinkedIn notes a transition into communication and self-growth. 

Gupta launched his YouTube channel Prakhar ke Pravachan where he began sharing longer-form talks on psychology, life-skills and societal issues. According to his channel info, he now has over a million followers and has completed hundreds of episodes. 

In 2023, he formally introduced his podcast PGX, a space where he invites thinkers, entrepreneurs, creatives and subject experts to dive deep into topics that often go beyond surface-level talk. Episodes like “What Men and Women REALLY Want in a Partner” show the blend of personal growth, social commentary and entertainment he’s built. 

What makes Prakhar Gupta’s work stand out is perhaps the intersection of three pillars: that is, he doesn’t just say “think deep”, he frames complex themes (like masculinity, mental health, career worries) in everyday language.

YouTube, podcasting, social media: all are part of his ecosystem. His channel introduces ideas; his podcast expands them, and Community and conversation. In his own words PGX isn’t about monologues, it’s about “raw, thought-provoking dialogue… no scripts. No agendas.”

In 2025, Gupta reached key milestones: his YouTube channel surpassed 1 million subscribers (as per YouTube analytics) and the PGX podcast completed 100 + episodes, covering guests like tech founders, spiritual guides and cultural critics. 

One episode featuring founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani spoke on building a ₹95,000 crore company, showing how Gupta bridges philosophical introspection with business conversations. 

Gupta is increasingly cited as part of India’s “new generation of thought-leaders” who merge content creation, entrepreneurship and public discourse. Some media write-ups credit his podcast for giving credibility to creators who want more than entertainment, they seek influence, ideas and community. 

He’s also engaged with universities, brands and events, sometimes speaking at youth-leadership forums, introducing concepts of communication, mental resilience and purposeful careers.

In a digital ecosystem overloaded with quick laughs, viral stunts and superficial content, Prakhar Gupta’s growth suggests a hunger for content that’s real, useful and thought-provoking. For young Indians and global audiences alike, his work offers a model: you can build a platform, you can talk about big ideas, and you can still stay young, relevant and accessible.

Prakhar Gupta’s story isn’t just about follower counts or podcast charts, it’s about a content creator-turned-community-builder who turns what matters into conversations, and those conversations into action.
