• Even though my freelance career was making me more money than I expected, my real love was creating videos. So, I walked away from freelancing, which was surprisingly stable to dive headfirst into content under my own name: PapaOcus.
• And it worked.
• Within no time, people knew me. I built a cult-ish audience, gained 100K+ followers across platforms, and we did wild, crazy things that only a tight-knit community could pull off.
• PapaOcus (YouTube, 50K+ Subs)
• Started with deep-dive video essays on Indian internet culture, gaming, and YouTube trends.
• Pivoted from education to entertainment, where the channel truly took off.
• Worked alongside Saiman Says, CarryMinati, and other major creators.
• Created viral content like:
• "Death of Indian Internet Culture" ft. Saiman Says
• "Segregation in Indian Gaming" ft. CarryMinati
• PersonBehindThePersona (Podcast, 10K+ Subs)
• Hosted conversations with creators and entrepreneurs like Thugesh, Saiman Says, Kirtichow, and Varun Mayya. Dug into the minds of YouTubers, decoding their insecurities, creative struggles, and viral formulas.
• For two years, I lived and breathed content. 100K+ people followed along this was the YouTuber dream, and I was in it.

• I was just a kid, barely aware of how the industry worked, but I knew one thing, I wanted in. So, I took on everything I could: cold emails, late-night design sprints, projects that paid peanuts. Slowly, it started working. I built a client base of 30+, including international creators, just by putting myself out there.
• Somewhere along the way, people older and more experienced than me started noticing. They took a bet on me. The first one? CarryMinati.
• What started with making thumbnails turned into handling graphics, video editing, branding, and even leading a team of freelancers for CarryMinati & CarryisLive. I went from just another kid designing logos to being trusted with shaping the look of one of India's biggest creators.
• Designed logos, thumbnails, and posters for YouTubers like CarryMinati, Saiman Says, and other rising brands.
• Captured live stream highlights and turned them into engaging edits that got clicks.
• Built & led a team of freelancers, translating Carry’s vision into a recognizable brand.
• This was my crash course in content, design, and working under pressure. It wasn’t about knowing everything, it was about figuring things out faster than anyone expected me to.
