Early Life
Madan was born in Thoothukudi, a city in Tamil Nadu, into a middle class family. He went to Sainik School in Amaravathi Nagar and went ahead to complete his education from multiple schools: Kalasalingam, Virudhunagar, Amrita VishwaVidya Peetham, Bengaluru and State University of New York. He has completed his B. Tech (Mechanical), MBA and MS.

Personal Life
Madan was born to Gomathy Murugan and Mala. Both his parents were working and often got transfers in various cities of Tamil Nadu. His father, Gomathy Murugan has now retired and his mother, Mala, works at LIC at the moment. He also has a younger sister, Neelam Gowri, who is now a doctor. His upbringing was very like a typical middle-class family.

Career
Madan initially planned on working on the management side of a corporation, for which he worked for half a year. He worked at Zoho as a Marketing Analyst. Soon after, he thought of becoming a creator and started working on that. He had got a natural talent to read and explain the subject in a very easy way that everyone can understand and relate to.

With his interest about the happenings around, he chooses any and every topic and gets started with his research. He does not have any specific guidelines, but if there is any differentiation, his subjects can be in the following category:


 * Current Affairs - Detailed explanation of what is happening around us.
 * Random Topics - Whichever he finds interesting
 * Subscriber suggestions - Madan is always flooded with numerous suggestions from his subscribers to speak about a particular topic.

To provide accuracy in his content, he puts in immense research hours. This involves going through all legitimate articles available, watching national/international media channels related to the topic and talking to the people who might be related to it, etc.

He did not get everything in the first go. He has faced challenges since he was a child. He faced a lot of criticism about his appearances from his classmates. A famous television channel rejected him in an audition giving justification as “The way he speaks is not good.”

He has also been receiving comments which criticise him as “Wikipedia guy” or  “A guy who just reads as what’s been explained in Wikipedia.”

Nonetheless, he took the positive and continued creating infotainment content. With his massive following of over 9 million, he aims to create content that is accessible to Tier 2 and Tier 3 youngsters and wishes to enable a digital economy and digital nomadic lifestyle among the youth in India. He looks forward to being influential in a way that the society is shaping.

Awards and Achievements
He considers his biggest achievement to be consistently posting videos on a daily basis on YouTube for more than 5 years. Apart from that he has won a hat trick of awards from Behindwoods, Blacksheep (6 awards) for being the Best Individual Youtube Channel. He also aims to be the biggest creator in India and contribute to the society.
