―Carry's Intro

Ajey Nagar (Hindi: अजय नागर; born: June 12, 1999 (1999-06-12) [age 24]), better known online as CarryMinati (or simply Carry), is an Indian YouTuber, Streamer and Rapper who uploads commentaries, roasts and reaction videos on his YouTube channel. He also has a second channel named ‘CarryIsLive’ for livestreams. He is the most subscribed non-corporate Indian YouTuber and the first in India to reach 30 and 40 million subscribers.[1]

History & YouTube Career[]

Ajey was 15 years old when he first started making YouTube videos. Initially, his channel's name was Addicted A1 where he used to record and upload gameplays of games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. He later switched to a commentary style of videos where he mimics Bollywood actor Sunny Deol (thus changing the name from Addicted A1 to CarryDeol), doing roasts and rant videos in front of a camera when he noticed that his gaming content wasn't gaining that much attention.

Ajey kept making videos of this format, uploading roasts of Indian music videos and rap music by smaller artists whom he calls "bakchod". It was at this time where his channel started to grow since this format was quite new to Indian content on YouTube. Carry was obviously inspired by LeafyIsHere, an American commentary YouTuber who often makes fun of similar types of content featuring gameplay in the background.

He got the name CarryMinati from a running joke about him joining the Illuminati. He soon changed his name and even his YouTube logo to fit the theme, with his icon as the Illuminati pyramid and adding the illuminati eye at the end of each of his videos. It was at this point in his career that he was gaining subscribers faster than ever, even faster than BB Ki Vines, gaining 100K Subscribers in less than a month.

On May 31, 2016, he uploaded the "ROASTING BB KI VINES" video in which he roasted popular Indian YouTuber Bhuvan Bam and his channel BB Ki Vines. The video soon went viral and Carry's subscriber count grew tremendously. CarryMinati gained over 50,000 subscribers in 2 Years (2014−2016) making him one of the fastest-growing channels in his genre in India, currently gaining over 3K subscribers daily. In a video, he has stated that he watched anime on Crunchyroll during a sponsored advertisement of the VPN Software NordVPN.

Carry is also known for making his own rap music videos, often parodic and satirical of the "bakchod" artists he mocks in his content. He once attended YouTube FanFest 2017 at Jio Gardens, Mumbai, where he showed great enthusiasm and debuted his performance live. Some of his music videos include:

  • Bantai rap − Balle Balle (Rap Star On Peak)
  • Star boys − The Weeknd (You Asked For This)
  • Bahubali On Cycle (Bahubali Parody)
  • Ae Rupali (Success Story Of A Cringe Pop Artist)
  • Charas Ganja (Success Story Of A Cringe Pop Artist)

He was listed as one of the Top 10 Next Generation Leaders by Times Magazine at 19.[1]
