Profession
In 2013, he started his own YouTube channel of the same name. In an interview, he shared his thoughts on becoming a YouTuber. He said,
I went through a rough time in my last year of college because I was going through a breakup. When I fell into depression, I found solace in YouTube and used it as a tool to redirect my energy. In the initial stages, my reach was modest, but after a few months, my channel gained momentum. One thing led to another and now I have a million subscribers. “
He added,
Throughout my childhood I was always trying to get myself into talk shows, debates, or panels but never really got many opportunities. I have always been someone who is willing to share things that I believe are different and valuable with those around me. When I discovered YouTube, I discovered a platform to reach millions of people and share information about history, social issues, and facts. This became my journey as a YouTuber. “
After graduation, he worked briefly at various organizations, including as a content writer at echoVME, a program analyst at Cognizant, and a marketing intern at Business Solutions. He then joined Zoho Corporation, a private company, as a marketing analyst. Soon, his YouTube channel started getting more views and his channel started making money. In 2019, he decided to quit his job and choose to become a full-time YouTuber. In an interview, he said about this incident,
When I was starting out, I promised myself that if I got a million subscribers, I would quit my job. Honestly, I love my full-time job. But I can’t do justice to my channel by setting aside a few hours a day. Now that I’ve taken the plunge, I’m ready to improve the quality of my videos in the days to come. “
Later, he even got a job offer from an American company, but he turned it down to focus on his YouTube channel. On his channel, he uploads videos on social awareness, vlogging, and various other topics. He has also interviewed some Indian celebrities for his YouTube channel.
He has also lent his voice to several Tamil songs such as “Bathroom Song” (2021), “Ex-Lover’s Song” (2021), “Monkeys With 5G” (2021) and “Naan” (2022) . His song “Monkeys With 5G” (2021) received backlash from the audience. Giving clarification in an interview, Gauri said,
I just wanted to satirize these issues that are going on. Caste is a dangerous mentality and needs to be eradicated from everyone’s mind. The pain is the same, I just don’t want to be sad anymore. This approach is to create a discussion with the world, more like a friend. Let us join hands to drive caste out of society. “
He is also the founder of the app “Kokru” which is available in six languages and provides snippets of the latest news.
