Kushal Mistry

Kushal Mistry, better known online as the “Amdavadi Man,” is basically the guy who took all the risks your parents warned you about—and made it work. Coming out of Ahmedabad, middle-class roots and all, he decided college wasn’t just for textbooks and cramming. Nope, he jumped headfirst into making content, even when the odds were pretty much stacked against him. His videos? They just blew up. People saw something real in his storytelling, and soon enough, he went from local dude to national sensation. His Instagram and YouTube are a wild ride—funny, relatable, sometimes a little too honest, but always binge-worthy. You scroll through his feed and, boom, you’re sucked in. The guy’s got collaborations with big names, but he never lost that “guy-next-door” vibe. It’s like he’s just chilling with you, except a few million people are listening in. From awkward college days to rubbing elbows with celebs, Kushal’s journey is one of those rare “started-from-the-bottom” stories that actually feels legit. He didn’t let the usual setbacks or family pressure box him in. Instead, he built this massive online fam, snagged some major brand deals, and became one of the big names in Indian entertainment. All that, and he still remembers where he came from—pretty wild, right?
