Kaushik Bhattacharjee was always curious about space, planets, and all other aspects of astronomy. In his quest to learn about these interests, he stumbled upon channels like ‘Kurzgesagt’ and ‘Vsauce’ on YouTube. While watching these channels, he realised that there wasn’t a single Indian YouTube channel that focused on the scientific aspects of astronomy, and did not link it with superstitions. So he started one himself. He learnt to record and edit videos by watching tutorials on YouTube. He leveraged what he earned on YouTube to buy new equipment to create better content for his viewers. He soon built a loyal community, and they showered him with likes and comments. With their backing and his own hard work, Kaushik’s channel grew, and so did his earnings. Today, he employs a team to help create more content, and has even branched out into creating and selling merchandise. But above all, through his channel, he was able to re-introduce astronomy, from a scientific lens, to many young minds across India.
