Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson abruptly left Nikhil Kamath’s podcast, sparking curiosity and discussion on social media. The 47-year-old entrepreneur, known for his commitment to anti-aging and health optimization, made an appearance wearing a face mask. However, he departed partway through, citing concerns over the poor air quality in India.

In a lengthy post on X, Johnson explained his choice, noting that he had brought his own air purifier to the taping. Unfortunately, the outside air in the room rendered the device useless. In his short visit to India, he suffered the ill effects of pollution, including a skin rash, burning of the eyes and a sore throat.

Johnson noted how ordinary air pollution has become in India, adding that many seemed indifferent to the life-threatening conditions, some outdoors without masks. He also stressed the need for air quality to be a priority because, he added, if air quality improved, it would save more lives than curing all cancers forever combined.His remarks and early departure from the podcast have prompted discussions about air quality awareness and its implications on health in India.
