Tanmay Bhat Refutes Reports

However, Bhat refuted this claim on X (Twitter), stating, «I can assure you this number is wildly off — at least for me,» in response to a post listing net worth figures of popular content creators.

Bhat, known for his work with the comedy group AIB and his contributions to advertising agency Moonshot, began his career as a TV show writer. His journey into content creation led to the co-founding of the YouTube channel AIB with Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya in 2013, gaining immense popularity for its comedic sketches and parodies.

The Indian content creator economy has seen exponential growth, contributing significantly to the GDP and creating numerous job opportunities. A marketing insights agency predicts the market to surpass $3926.2 million by 2030, with top creators like CarryMinati, Bhuvan Bam, and Technical Guruji amassing substantial net worths.

Reacting humorously to the net worth claim in a now deleted post, Bhat joked, «Imagine doing IQOO meme nights and making 600 crore!» His return to content creation during the COVID-19 pandemic further solidified his presence in the digital space.
