Tanmay Bhat

Tanmay Bhat is an Indian comedian, YouTuber, writer and producer who became one of the most influential figures in India's modern digital comedy scene. Born on 23 June 1990 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Tanmay began his career as a writer and performer before co-founding the comedy collective All India Bakchod (AIB) with Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya.

AIB became one of India's most prominent digital comedy groups through YouTube sketches, live shows, podcasts and satirical content. Tanmay also worked as a writer and creative producer across television and digital entertainment and became a recognizable performer through projects such as AIB Honest Series, On Air with AIB and AIB Video Podcast.

In 2018, Tanmay served as one of the judges on Amazon Prime Video's first season of Comicstaan, a stand-up comedy competition that helped introduce a new generation of Indian comedians to a mainstream streaming audience. He later expanded his work into film production, serving as a producer of the critically acclaimed comedy-drama Chintu Ka Birthday in 2020.

Following the end of AIB's operations, Tanmay rebuilt his career around independent digital content. His YouTube channel has grown into a major creator platform featuring comedy, reaction videos, gaming streams, podcasts, vlogs and commentary. By 2026, his channel had more than five million subscribers and billions of cumulative views.

Tanmay Bhat has also developed into an active angel investor, backing startups across consumer technology, fintech, media, education and other sectors. Public investment databases track more than 20 startup investments, including companies such as CRED, smallcase, Ultrahuman, Growth School, Wint Wealth and newer startups such as Trackk and Iztri. In September 2026, his investment portfolio included a newly reported seed investment in Iztri.

Tanmay Bhat's career has therefore evolved from stand-up comedy and digital entertainment into a broader creator, producer and startup-investor profile, making him one of India's most prominent examples of a comedian building a business and investment career alongside content creation.
