Profession
Niharika Nm started her YouTuber journey in 2016 when she uploaded her first video, “Types of People on Their Birthdays”. In an interview, she revealed that she created her YouTube channel for fun and to take a break from her busy studies. Since then, she has uploaded many “Type” videos in which she portrays the types of people in a certain category in a comical manner. Meanwhile, she continued to pursue her degree. Although her videos received great appreciation, she stopped producing them as she could not focus on both her studies and content creation at the same time. After moving to the US, she resumed content creation when Instagram launched the Reels feature. In an interview, she said,
There is no other reason to avoid creating content. Besides, it is much easier to hold your audience’s attention for 15 to 20 seconds than for 15 minutes.”
She rose to fame in 2018 after posting a YouTube video titled “Types of Students During Exams” which went viral on the internet.
Although she has made several popular videos on her Instagram account, it was her breakthrough video titled “One Way Street It is” that really catapulted her to fame. The video garnered 10 million views in ten days, which greatly accelerated Niharika’s career.
Niharika became one of the fastest growing digital content creators on Instagram, reaching over 1 million followers within two months of setting up her account. In 2020, she was a guest on Netflix’s YouTube channel’s weekly show Behensplaining, which features Indian YouTube stars Kusha Kapila and Srishti Dixit, who live stream and provide humorous commentary on various films and shows.
