hi, i'm Soumil.

18, india.

school dropout


i never introduced myself. just showed up one day and burned through the algorithms by creating infinite art. but this isn't the first time, i've been doing that since i was 11.


11-13 > started freelancing before i understood what freelancing was. created content for youtube creators, wrote scripts, edited videos, narrated, whatever needed to be done. left school at 13 because i saw a different path.


14-15 > by 14, i was juggling 4-5 youtubers at once, making ₹20-30k/month. they paid me less than i was worth, but i was learning skills most people don't touch until their 20s. built a team, bought computers, and started running an agency before "agency" was even a thing. we were 2-3 people. still together today.


but the math wasn't adding up. i was sitting in one chair for 14-15 hours a day editing, scripting, narrating and walking away with ₹1000 in my pocket. my father had run several failed businesses. i'd been helping support my family from a young age. i know the value of money better than most. i was building empires for other people while barely keeping myself afloat.



16 > i made a decision: quit all clients. build my own thing instead. founded GeekyGamer. scaled it to 100k subscribers and over 100 million views in 2 months. i still run it, put some real money in the bank. built more channels after that. worked on revenue-share deals with more youtube channels. 


16-17 > went all-in on facebook. made a content lore. we created a content universe around facts, that people couldn't stop watching. january to september this year: we got 2.6 billion views. in a span of 8 months. made $25k.

 
18 > moved out of home. went to dharamshala, wanted to launch a business show. rented a villa. called humans from across the country to make it happen. poured everything into it. it failed.
but that's part of the game. not every bet lands. not every vision materializes the way you see it in your head. you learn more from the failures than the wins anyway.

 

now in bengaluru, still creating, trying to learn.
i like telling stories. and i'm just getting started.
