Played a lot of GTA Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA 5, and got deeply interested in technology and random internet rabbit holes.
I make launch videos that make startups look established.
Founder & Creative Director, Fifth Render.
Clients include Anything, GetASAP, Kontext Security, Safe Sentinels.
$100M raised by our clients.
A little corner of the internet I call mine.
Based in Delhi, India. If you have an interesting idea, say hi.
Got obsessed with making money online. Wrote a book called 20 Online Businesses to Earn Money and distributed roughly 50 copies around school.
Started tech-gadget blogs on Blogspot. Learned SEO on my own and got the blogs to around 100K monthly visitors at their peak. The traffic was much bigger than the money. Low CPM lol.
Made 5-minute one-shot montage videos on YouTube and reached around 20K subscribers. Then spent a reckless amount of basically everything I earned on Free Fire. Also played competitively in the Indian scene.
Tiny freelance gigs through Discord - $3-5 jobs cleaning documents, fixing headers, making banners. Started editing on my dad's 6-7-year-old laptop. CapCut, then Premiere, nights until 3 AM while my parents wondered what the hell I was doing.
Wrote my first proper self-help book, The Art of Changing Yourself. Instead of waiting for Amazon or some publisher, went door-to-door near coaching centres and sold it myself. Roughly $2,000 in revenue, $1,000 profit.
Saw ByMaximise blowing up in the US and nobody really doing it around me. Found a stronger format: talking-head edits + reels built around curiosity. Doubled down. Within roughly four months, 8K followers and 700K monthly reach.
An editing course around the style I'd discovered. Sold roughly 40-50 copies, made around $500. A 1M-follower brand later built a similar product after ignoring my collaboration message. First real lesson: ideas move very fast on the internet.
Reached out directly to Indian YouTubers - Shwetabh Gangwar, among others. Then foreign clients. One found me through my edits and trusted me enough to send a $600-700 advance. Bought my own PC with editing money.
Gradually drifted away and the page went inactive. Life happened. Girls happened. 😂 Eventually deactivated the account.
Wrote another book, Epic Branding, this one around building luxury brands.
Started an agency under my personal name, later renamed Sleekcuts. Personal branding and monthly content systems. Eventually landed a YC-backed logistics startup.
Made a launch video for that YC startup. It performed well on LinkedIn and X, and the company went on to raise a $15M seed round. That was the moment launch videos clicked. Renamed the agency Fifth Render.
Started signing more funded startups. Made 3-4 videos for Anything, a startup valued around $100M - one crossed roughly 2M+ views. Expanded into robotics and physical AI, where one client referenced our previous work for their video. The work itself started becoming part of the distribution.
Building Fifth Render and some seriously exciting projects. One of Contra's verified Top Rated studios along the way. Experimenting heavily with AI, robotics, creative systems, and what the next version of a modern studio can look like. Can't wait to tell you what's coming.
