I did my engineering at Banaras Hindu University. I worked in Pune as a software engineer even though I always wanted to be a writer. Soon I was bored of working and moved to Mumbai to pursue my dreams. I wanted to take up a course in journalism.

Thanks to some contacts, I got the job of a copywriter at an agency in Mumbai but the agency shut down in a month and I was then on my own. But I didn’t have to go through the ‘filmy struggle’ because I got a big break in my first year in the city. I was one of the writers for the Great Indian Comedy Show in 2005. I started writing for stand-up comedy shows, television and the internet. After sometime, I started doing stand-up comedy myself and now I juggle between my stand-up comedy and writing lyrics and screenplays.
