Meet Jawed Karim. No one talks about him. He’s not flashy. He doesn’t tweet motivational quotes. He’s not even active on Instagram. But he’s the co-founder of YouTube. And get this — he uploaded the first video ever on the platform. 🎥 It’s called “Me at the zoo” Length? 19 seconds. Quality? Trash. Impact? WORLD-CHANGING. He walked away quietly… While others took the spotlight. But without him — no MrBeast, no makeup tutorials, no YouTube careers. Crazy, right? 👇 Have YOU ever heard of Jawed Karim before this post? Tell me in the comments. Let’s see how many actually knew. #FoundersYouDidntKnow #StartupStories #YouTubeHistory #HiddenGenius

“He was the loudest guy in every room. Now he quietly runs a ₹200 Cr business.” A childhood friend of mine loved the spotlight. Loud, expressive, always chasing attention. Back in school, he once said — “If people aren’t watching, what’s the point?”

Taxpayer earns ₹1 → Govt takes 31.2%. He buys a product → Add 5 to 28% GST. Spends on fuel → 50% tax. Saves money → Taxed again. But no, he’s not oppressed.
