Rajat Sood Biography
Born 10 November 1996 in New Delhi. Middle-class family. Parents’ names not public — he has never disclosed family details beyond occasional mentions. Grew up in Delhi, did his schooling in the city itself. At Titiksha Public School he wasn’t just sitting in class — he captained the cricket and Kho Kho teams, earned the Scholar Badge for five consecutive academic sessions, and led an NCC batch for a national camp under Delhi Battalion-6. That’s a lot of things running simultaneously, and that pattern of doing multiple things at once never really stopped.
College: Delhi College of Engineering (DTU)
He got into Delhi College of Engineering — now Delhi Technological University — for his B.Tech from 2015 to 2019. That’s where everything started shifting. He joined two societies: Madhurima, the Music Society, and Sahitya, the Literary and Debating Society. In between engineering lectures and labs, he started writing poetry. Not for assignments. Just because the words were coming.
In 2018, he was Head of Hospitality at Engifest DTU — the college’s major annual festival — managing a team of 150 people and handling celebrities like Amit Trivedi, Nucleya, and Piyush Mishra. He also hosted live shows for Mankirat Aulakh and Punjabi musician Guri. An engineering student running hospitality and hosting artists at a 6,000-person festival — that’s where the stage comfort came from.
After graduating in 2019 with a B.Tech, he made the call to not do engineering. Comedy and poetry were the plan.
Rajat Sood Biography: Pomedy and Shayari
He coined the word “Pomedy” — Poetry + Comedy. It’s not just a marketing term for him; it genuinely describes what he does. Most stand-up comedians build on jokes and timing. Rajat builds on shayari — romantic, emotional, sometimes heartbreaking lines — and then finds the laughter inside them.
His poetry deals with love, heartbreak, relationships, and the ordinary chaos of being young in India. The writing style is Hindi-Urdu mix — accessible enough for a college crowd but layered enough to land with older audiences too. He doesn’t write to shock. He writes to make you feel something, and then laughs at it with you.
His solo show Khayaalbaaz — which translates roughly to “the daydreamer” — is a full-length performance fusing comedy with poetry. He has performed it at over 50 stages across 10 cities, including IITs, BITS Pilani, DTU, AIIMS Rishikesh, NIT Delhi, Punjabi University Patiala, PEC Chandigarh, and multiple Delhi University colleges. That circuit built his live reputation before any TV show got involved.
India’s Laughter Champion — Sony TV (2022)
In 2022, he entered India’s Laughter Champion on Sony TV — one of India’s biggest comedy reality formats. He won. August 2022. The win did what TV wins do in India — multiplied his visibility overnight. He was accessible on SonyLiv as well, which extended the reach beyond appointment TV viewers.
Before that, in 2021, he had made it to the finals of SAU Karod Ka Kavi — India’s first poetry-focused reality show — out of 40 participants selected from across the country. That was the first national stage. Laughter Champion was the second, bigger one.
YouTube and Social Media
His YouTube channel sits at 750K+ subscribers with over 393 million views. His most viral YouTube Short — a September 2023 skit titled “Parantha Va Bruschetta” — crossed 13 million views alone. His content is a mix of full stand-up sets, shayari videos, short comedy clips, and vlogs.
Instagram: @rajatsoodpomedy — the handle itself carries the Pomedy brand. Active, regular posts, strong engagement with a young audience that shares his romantic shayari content heavily.
GF and Personal Life
No confirmed girlfriend publicly. He talks about love constantly in his poetry — heartbreak, longing, relationships — but keeps his actual personal life separate from his public content. Nobody he has been linked with publicly. That boundary is deliberate and consistent.
Shayari and Poetry Lyrics Style
His shayari is soft, urban, and emotionally precise. Not classical Urdu poetry in the traditional sense — more like a millennial reimagining of it. Hindi-heavy, relatable metaphors, often ending on a line that flips emotional to funny or funny to emotional. Sample tone (paraphrased from his style):
“Mohabbat mein haar ke bhi jeeta rehta hoon — kyunki tujhe bhool jaana meri range nahi.”
It’s that kind of writing — direct, not trying to be deep, but landing deep anyway. That’s what makes it shareable.
Net Worth
Estimated ₹40–50 Lakh as of 2025–26. Some sources put it near $0.5 million (roughly ₹4 Crore) when combining YouTube ad revenue, brand deals, live show fees, and event hosting. The YouTube channel with 393 million total views generates meaningful passive income. College shows pay well — established performers on the IIT/DTU circuit charge ₹1–3 Lakh per show. He’s done 50+ of those. Add that up.
Some Lesser Known Facts About Rajat Sood
- He graduated with a B.Tech from Delhi College of Engineering in 2019 — then chose comedy over engineering immediately after.
- He invented the term “Pomedy” — Poetry + Comedy — and built an entire brand identity around it.
- He captained both cricket AND Kho Kho teams in school while also earning the Scholar Badge for five straight years. High achiever before anyone knew his name.
- He led the NCC batch for a national camp with Delhi Battalion-6 during school — military discipline, stage discipline, two different things that both shaped him.
- He managed a 150-person hospitality team at Engifest DTU in 2018 — at 21 years old.
- His YouTube Short “Parantha Va Bruschetta” crossed 13 million views — a skit about food that became one of his most-watched pieces of content.
- He made the finals of SAU Karod Ka Kavi in 2021, India’s first poetry reality TV show — almost nobody remembers this before his Laughter Champion win.
- Despite talking about love and heartbreak constantly on stage, he has never confirmed a girlfriend publicly — that gap between content and personal life is very deliberate.
