| Niharika Nm is a Los Angeles-based Indian content creator known for her humorous YouTube videos and Instagram Reels. She is particularly famous for her Bangalorean accent portrayal. Despite disliking school, she excelled academically and scored above 90% in her ICSE board exams, leading her to pursue the science stream. However, she failed in her IIT coaching classes due to lack of interest. She started her YouTube channel in 2016 during her engineering college's second year and uploaded her first video on Jul 4, 2016, titled 'Types Of People On Birthdays.' Her channel showcases a series of humorous videos like 'Types of People at Restaurants' and 'Types Of Moms.' Initially, she posted videos on YouTube for fun until her content gained popularity, leading to demands for consistency. Unable to balance academics and content creation, she paused uploading videos temporarily. When she moved to the US for her MBA, she began creating content for Instagram's Reels feature. In 2018, her YouTube video 'Types Of Students During An Exam' brought her significant attention. The lockdown during the pandemic led to increased interest in lighthearted content, benefiting Niharika's rise to fame. In November 2020, her Instagram Reel 'One Way Street It is' went viral with 10 million views in ten days, boosting her following. She swiftly gained over 1 million followers on Instagram within two months of starting the account. Niharika draws comedy inspiration from a diverse range of actors, including Hollywood stars Jim Carrey and Rowan Atkinson, and South Indian actors like Brahmanandam and Vadivelu. She made a guest appearance on Netflix's Behensplaining (2020), a show featuring popular Indian content creators reviewing shows and films. Niharika is proficient in five languages: Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. She stands as the first solo creator to twice represent India at YouTube Creators For Change, a global initiative showcasing inspiring stories of diverse YouTubers.
