Career
After completing his studies, Rajat struggled to find a job in the aviation industry. Later, he worked as an analyst at a research firm. His colleagues praise him for his ability to make everyone laugh even in very stressful situations. Soon, Rajat realized that his corporate job was not his calling, and he quit to pursue his passion for stand-up comedy. In 2013, Rajat moved to Mumbai as there was a dearth of comedy venues in Delhi. Rajat struggled to make people laugh early in his career. He even mentioned in a YouTube video that he quit stand-up for a few months after failing (failing badly) at several open mics. In 2015, Rajat moved back to Delhi and started working as a Project Leader at Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd. in Delhi. He worked there for two years and quit in 2017. While working at this firm, Rajat started performing at open mics after office hours. After quitting his corporate job in 2017, Rajat became a professional comedian. He started performing at corporate shows, weddings, and even kitty parties, and with that, his audience base went from a handful to packed houses.
