18 years into my corporate career, I was heading the Xbox business at Microsoft India. In 2016, I saw the movie Tamasha, got inspired, went to office the next day and resigned to follow my passion for standup comedy.

 

Even after 2000+ shows and over 50 million views on YouTube, my Mom still thinks I will go back to a stable corporate job!  

 

In 2024, I was awarded ‘Comedy Genius of the Year’ at the prestigious Iconic Achievers Award by WBR Group. So I guess I am doing this for life now!

 

I'm also a podcaster with two podcast series to my credit, one of which was in partnership with Spotify India. Currently I'm also writing a web series for an OTT platform and a book which I will probably need to sell on my own at traffic signals.
