Born and raised in a humble family in Indore, Zakir Khan has tested his true mettle in Stand-Up, a field that very few people dare to enter, and even fewer ever succeed. He became a known face in India's stand-up comedy circuit in 2012 when he won the title of 'India's Best Stand Up Comedian’. He has had the fastest growing channel on YouTube with more than 27 million views in less than a year.

Zakir Khan is the quintessential launda : your friendly neighborhood guy, college senior, 4am friend and experienced colleague. He has been through everything that you have – love, relationships and the survival of the small fish in a big pond. Zakir shares his comic perspective on daily life struggles which leaves the audience wondering if they are laughing at him or themselves. It is no wonder that Zakir has scaled such great heights and is well on his way to change the face of Stand-Up Comedy in India.

Alongside Zakir is Anshu Mor. Unconventional and exceptional - two words that best describe the myriad personalities that inspire us - these are a perfect combination for him. The Xbox India head and a major part of Microsoft for 11 years, Mor is a man who left the luxury of a corporate life to pursue his dream and is today a living example of the fact that dreams can be fulfilled.
