In 2023, Nagar and business partner Deepak Char acquired a 10% stake together in Big Bang Esports, expanding his business interests into competitive gaming.

CarryMinati has also been associated with Amazon miniTV's gaming reality show Playground as a mentor and has continued to develop content, music and gaming projects. His income comes from YouTube advertising, brand partnerships, sponsorships, music, live streaming, appearances, production and investments.
