Shashwat Maheshwari is a Mumbai-based stand-up comedian, writer, and UFC commentator who took a rather unexpected route to comedy. Coming from a scientific background, he eventually traded the world of equations and experiments for a microphone and a stage, finding his voice through stories rooted in everyday life and his own experiences.

His easy-going storytelling and observational humour have found a growing audience online, with sets like Meri Kismat Kharab Hai bringing his comedy to a much wider audience. He was also part of the first season of Amazon Prime Video's Comicstaan, where he introduced his distinctive style of comedy to audiences across the country.

Alongside stand-up, Shashwat has built a career as a writer and UFC commentator, bringing the same quick wit and conversational energy to his work beyond the comedy stage. His comedy often finds the funny in the ordinary, making familiar situations, personal experiences, and everyday observations feel unexpectedly hilarious.

For someone who started out on a completely different path, Shashwat's journey is a reminder that sometimes the things you're meant to do have very little to do with the plans you started with.
