  • According to Atul, when he was running his IT business, he got bored with his monotonous life. His wife pushed him to try different things, so he tried his hand at bartending and even took up DJ, but none of them worked out for him. In an interview, while talking about his mid-life crisis, he said,

    While I was figuring out what to do with my life, I kept posting jokes on Facebook just as a comic-relief. There, I realized I have a sense of humor which people appreciate. I got positive feedback and a lot of support from family and friends. So I took a New Year resolution & signed up for an ‘open mic’ in 2012. I still remember that night. My hands were sweating, my legs were shivering and my throat became dry but I managed to win that 4-minute slot. Yay! That experience was so enriching and addictive that after that just went on and on and on. That’s how it all started.”
