While talking about Kata Sky, Kumar said that this was not the first video that they created. Their first video was based on an interview between a boss and a job-seeking candidate. The video did not materialise as it was lengthier than the time prescribed by Comedy Hunt. Later, Rahul came up with a skit based on a conversation between a customer care executive and a customer. In 2015, the duo won the Comedy Hunt. Talking about it, he said,
  

  We teamed up and started working on our skit’s script for the competition. The first script was based on an interview in which I was the boss and Rahul was a candidate. It did not materialize as the script turned into a six-minute long video, whereas, Comedy Hunt had asked for a 2 to 3 minutes long video. So we ditched it. Later, Rahul said he had a script on a call centre and we moved ahead with it and created Kata Sky, which also became the first video on our YouTube channel.”
