# The WTF Intro Animation Archive

> Every intro title-sequence animation from Nikhil Kamath's WTF and People by WTF, cut to the frame and arranged newest-first (2023–2026). 44 animations.

The WTF Intro Animation Archive (https://wtf-intro-animations.vercel.app) is a gallery of the animated title sequences ("intros") that open each episode of two YouTube shows hosted by Indian entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and True Beacon:

- **WTF is …** — sector deep-dives where Nikhil and guests unpack an industry (Finance, Pharma, Real Estate, EdTech, Consumer Electronics, Venture Capital, Longevity, and more).
- **People by WTF** — long-form 1:1 interviews with founders, leaders and creators (Bill Gates, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ray Dalio, Yann LeCun, Dara Khosrowshahi, Ajay Banga, Ted Sarandos, Neal Mohan, A.R. Rahman, and others).

Each entry is the motion-graphics opener only — cut to the exact frame where the animation begins and ends (cold-open footage, disclaimer cards and the interview are excluded). Episodes with no distinct animation are omitted. The recurring "WTF is Finance" sub-series reuses one shared title sequence, so those entries are distinguished by guest.
