Appurv Gupta (GuptaJi) — CEO

"Bhaiya, Patli Pin wala charger hai kya?" Yep, that was my first viral video when Jio was not there. But before we get into my story, let me tell you a little bit about me 👇 Got my Bollywood breakthrough with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bhumi Pednekar, and Sumeet Vyas in the movie Afwaah, which legendary director Sudhir Mishra Sir directed. - Rewarded by Comedy Central as “India's leading Hinglish Stand Up Comic.” - Featured in Forbes India Celebrity 100 Nominee List - Performed 2500+ shows in 7 Countries - Loved with 500M + Views across socials - Investor in 13 Startups But here’s how it all started 👀 I was an introvert throughout my school and college years and constantly worried about speaking English because I studied in a Hindi medium school. Well, that's not an excuse, but if you've ever attended a Hindi medium school and come from a middle-class family, you will understand what I mean. My first attempt at public speaking was some copied jokes from the internet at a meeting for Toastmasters International. People told me I should try comedy, so I went to an open mic to try stand-up comedy. The breakthrough came when I tried standup comedy, and the applause I got gave me a glimpse of what I could do. I've never looked back. I'd rather be a comedian than a VP or President of an MNC who'd need a comedian to make their life easier 😀 My viral moment came less than two years after I started Stand Up Comedy with the video "Bhaiya, Patli Pin wala charger hai kya?" Yes, that engineering slim kid is now an Angel Investor too. Whether it’s comedy, investing in startups, or connecting with incredible people like you, I'm grateful for every moment.
