An Ordinary Beginning
One must say that Gaurav Chaudhary was just a typical Indian engineer who easily fit into all social expectations. Born in Ajmer, Rajasthan in 1991, he did his schooling from Kendriya Vidyalaya. He had learned coding during his 11th grade itself.
He pursued his post graduation in microelectronics from BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. For this, he moved to Dubai in 2012. It was his sheer hard work and passion that helped him reach BITS Dubai. After the completion of his course, he started working as a security systems engineer for Dubai police.
These were too ordinary beginnings for the revolution that was yet to unfurl through him. He just made sure that his interests and passions were never sacrificed while doing his job and the rest was history.
The First Revolutionary Step
He always had a curiosity when it comes to technology. Having learned the basics of coding from 11th standard he never gave up on his quest for new technologies and gadgets. Although he had the idea of starting a YouTube channel since 2012, it was only in 2015 that he was able to launch his channel “Technical Guruji”.
Unlike all technology related channels of those times this channel was in Hindi and it catered to a large viewer base. And the launch of his channel was around the time when technology was gaining momentum among the common people and smartphones were becoming more common.
He was one among those lucky YouTubers who were able to make their first video hit in the country. His first video was in collaboration with another technical YouTuber named Sharmaji technical and it was a hit.
The Journey of Technical Guruji
From there Gaurav Chaudhary did not have to turn back. In 2017 his channel became the ninth most subscribed channel in YouTube that is related to technology. He also became the first tech related YouTube content creator to have more than 10 million subscribers.
Various reports also say that Technical Guruji is the largest Hindi YouTube channel in the world. Through his unique presentation and coherent content he became a millionaire in a few years and continues to upload content and inform people about the latest technology and gadgets.
Unlike many technical YouTubers that we have on the platform, Gaurav Chaudhary did not restrict himself to introducing new technologies or product reviews. He also explained in Hindi about how technology works and how it can be used. It must be acknowledged that this YouTuber has played a significant role in simplifying technology to the common people, especially the ones who do not know English.

The replacement of English with Hindi was in itself revolutionary. He made sure that he creates an engaging and management through his video. His catchphrases like “Namaskar Dosto”, “Toh chaliye, shuru karte hai” (Come, lets begin) became audience favourite and went viral.
Apart from the simplicity of the content that he creates he make sure that a person who has no prior knowledge in the respective field will also be able to understand the things that he is saying. And he is a constant presence in his YouTube channel by uploading content on a daily basis which increases audience engagement significantly.

Controversy
Gaurav Chaudhary has had his own set of controversies. It was over a video that he created about paid partnership. He had talked about how ridiculous and shameful it is to give biased reviews for monetary benefits.
He completely took the side of the audience by stating that reviewers should completely refrain from paid reviews at least for the sake of the large number of people who depend on these reviews. A biased review is a violation of their right to know the truth about things.
However, he was labelled a hypocrite when he was spotted for the launch of a Samsung smartphone. People including the Managing Director of Xiaomi, Manu Kumar Jain called him out for his actions.
Ironical to see tech bloggers get up on stage at product launches, talking all great things about the product (maybe influenced by monetary payment).

As a reviewer, users depend on you to be honest & open about any product.
How can this be termed as 'unbiased' media?
