Rahul came to me in the office. He’s on a different team, I’m on a different team. I became popular in the office after I hosted an event and did some impersonations and comedy routines as a presenter at a business school. Rahul was on vacation on the day of the event and he was told about me and later he approached me and asked me if I had ever done a stand-up comedy. “

The pair then posted their first video, “Kata Sky,” on YouTube and sent it to Comedy Hunt as their official entry. Kumar and Rahul later won the match. Talking about this, he said:
We collaborated and started writing a skit script for the competition. The first script was based on an interview in which I was the boss and Rahul was the candidate. That never came to fruition, and the script was turned into a six-minute video, while Comedy Hunter requested a two- to three-minute video. So we gave it up. Later, Rahul said he had a script for a call center and we went ahead and created Kata Sky, which became the first video on our YouTube channel. “
