After no career, he understood the importance of study in his life, he was also disturbed with his life.
Before Vlogging:
He made his 10th class crush his girlfriend. They got a breakup after a few years, and because of his breakup, he became very sad.
During those days, he also got a chance to give an interview into Jet and Qatar Airways as a cabin crew, it was the first interview of his life.
He was just 18.5 years at that time and was giving his interviews very casually and he also got selected in both of his interviews.
He joined Qatar airways on 5th May 2007 as a cabin crew. He was there for 6 yrs.
He bought his first home in Mumbai with his saved money from his Cabin Crew job.
He wanted to earn money in India, but his father said you cannot earn that much by living in India. So, he had to join Qatar again.
He came to India in his long vacation, and tried several businesses, investments, and some other jobs but didn’t succeed.
On 26 Dec 2013, 10 days left of his long holiday, his family made plans of him to get married to his girlfriend, who was very rich.
But, on 27 Dec 2013, his father had a heart attack and he passed.
After his father died, he canceled his plan to go back to Qatar and continue his father’s business.
Everything was going well after a few months, as he was very much interested in camera and acting, he also did a couple of shots.
From Nikhil Sharma to Mumbiker Nikhil
One day, he was so bored in his office that he saw a couple of guys talking to the camera while riding motorcycles.
He liked this idea and thought to do the same, that’s how his youtube journey began.
He again had a breakup with his girlfriend.
He wanted to come out from this trauma, so he started making videos while riding.
As he did not know have good knowledge about bikes very much, so he started talking about his life in videos.
He started with a bunch of people in starting but he get separated from his group, as his group doesn’t like him talking about his life on camera.
His very first long rides are from Mumbai to Ajmer to Delhi to Mumbai.
He started getting a good responses for his videos, he was getting more than 10k views in a month with 10k subscribers on his Youtube channel.
He was inspired by Casey Neistat, a lifestyle vlogger from New York.
He started watching Casey Neistat and his live videos, he also decide to do the same.
He started talking about how his life was in Qatar and his aviation career. He was again getting good responses.
His first travel video which changed his career was his Ladakh ride, then there’s no looking back after that.
He believes it was not the travel videos which changed his life, it was the way that he connects with his audience that changed.
After his Ladakh ride, he gained his 100k subscriber on his channel, after that he focused more on travels and rides.
He wanted to do something more than riding and traveling. Then in 2017, he was invited by a Youtube fanfest to perform in stage.
It was his dream to perform on Youtube fanfest in 2016 because he attended Fanfest 2016 as an audience.
He just wanted to make vlogging popular in India, so he shifted from his Moto vlogging to Lifestyle vlogging.
He then started getting more brands to promote. He doesn’t have any brands, he only promotes products that he thinks are worth buying.
