Ajey Nagar, a.k.a. CarryMinati, is India’s most popular and influential online creator. Famous for his aggressive roasts, impeccable timing, and high-energy performances, CarryMinati has made YouTube his personal stage, impressing tens of millions of fans with his distinct style.
Born on June 12, 1999, in Faridabad, Haryana, Ajey found his calling as a content creator at an early age. He started posting videos on YouTube at the age of 10, initially trying his hand at gaming content. But it was his skill at blending humor, commentary, and real-life issues that really made him stand out. In 2015, he renamed his channel to CarryMinati, making roast videos and satirical sketches — a decision that catapulted him to fame.
CarryMinati rose to fame after a series of his videos went viral, gaining him not only subscribers, but a legendary status among youth in India. His record-breaking 2020 video “YouTube vs TikTok” was a huge online cultural phenomenon, even though later it was removed by YouTube for violating their policies. In spite of the scandal, his fan base only increased, supporting him throughout.
Beyond roasting, CarryMinati is also a talented rapper and has released several music videos such as “Yalgaar,” “Vardaan,” and “Zindagi,” showcasing his versatility. His lyrics often reflect his personal experiences, struggles, and opinions, connecting deeply with his audience.
Along with content creation, Carry has also left his imprint in the mainstream media. He appeared as a guest in Ajay Devgn’s film Runway 34 and has supported several social campaigns. With more than 40 million subscribers, CarryMinati is the most-subscribed solo creator in Asia and a true internet phenomenon.
It’s what differentiates CarryMinati from other personalities that sets him apart because, despite the content being in-depth and discussing many things that his generation will grow up understanding or even identify with, his content remains raw, relatable, and engaging.
In spite of his popularity, Carry is humble, usually giving credit to his fans and his team for his achievements. His story from a small-town gamer to India’s leading YouTuber is not only motivational but a demonstration of the strength of digital ingenuity and determination.
As the online space keeps expanding, CarryMinati is always ahead, entertaining, shaping, and rebelling against internet culture—one roast at a time.
