About Gursimran Khamba
Gursimran Khamba is a comedian and co-founder of All India Bakchod (abbreviated as AIB), a Mumbai-based comedy company which created an eponymous podcast, YouTube channel and ran a production company. The name is a parody of All India Radio. AIB began in 2012 as a humour/pop-culture podcast co-started by comedians Tanmay Bhat and Gursimran Khamba. Their friends and contemporary comedians, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya, were frequent guests and the four co-founded the YouTube channel in 2013 and began making sketches.
Khamba is a Delhi-based humour blogger who had gained popularity with political commentary, satirical essays and film reviews. He had also contributed to satirical newsmagazine Faking News. In 2011, he moved to Mumbai to attend graduate school at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and soon transitioned to stand-up and podcasting. Bhat approached Khamba after seeing him perform stand-up, and in 2012 they began the humour and pop-culture SoundCloud podcast All India Bakchod. The four comedians subsequently formed AIB as a comedy company which filmed videos, performed stand-up comedy and co-wrote shows, and by early 2015 the group became a creative agency.
In October 2018, the company halted operation and fired its entire staff, after Bhat and Khamba were implicated in two separate sexual harassment allegations. No formal charges were made but the company dissolved in May 2019. Khamba was dissatisfied with the independent investigation into the allegation against him and has since disassociated himself from the company and brand. In November 2018, Khamba was fired as showrunner of the Amazon Prime Video show Gormint after allegations of sexual misconduct against him surfaced. The company's four founders continue to work in the comedy circuit.
