- Gautam, your journey as Funnygoat10 has been remarkable. Can you share the inspiration behind your alias and what motivated you to start creating comedy content?
Since the very beginning, I enjoyed entertaining people. Making people laugh gave me immense joy. Being cooped up at home during COVID-19 made me feel miserable, and that’s when I saw people creating content. Being intrigued by content creation, gradually I started creating my own content and over a period of 2 years it gained popularity.
- Comedy, especially when tied to cultural themes, requires a fine balance. How do you navigate the complexities of creating content that is both humorous and respectful of Marwadi traditions?
I’m well accustomed to Marwadi culture. My content is planned according to the Marwadi culture purview. I’m mindful of the content I create in terms of language, ideas, and matter to ensure nobody’s sentiments are hurt. Before posting my work on social media I execute it at my home to seek approval from my family.
- Your growth on Instagram is impressive. What strategies have you employed to build and maintain such a dedicated following?
Initially, I created similar content which garnered a great deal of followers. With the engagement of the audience, I got a boost to script eminent content. I blended the ideas given by my audience along with my insights which turned out to be amazing. Today some of my famous posts are the result of these combined efforts.
- Could you walk us through your creative process? How do you come up with ideas, and what goes into producing a single piece of content from inception to posting?
Content creation is a task in itself. Firstly I get hold of the subject matter which is prevalent in my family. Subsequently, I pen down humorous words and sentences which are thereby converted into a story. There are a host of factors that I follow during editing and posting my work.
- Collaboration can play a significant role in content creation. Have you collaborated with other content creators or brands? What was that experience like, and how did it influence your content?
In Kolkata, there isn’t much scope for collaboration linked to my work which didn’t pave the way for an opportunity to collaborate. However, I have worked with well-established brands like- Amazon, and Too Yum. Working with these brands not only helped me reach out to new followers but also established my good image in this industry.
- Social media platforms are constantly evolving. How do you stay ahead of the curve, and what changes or trends are you excited about in digital comedy?
Honestly, I’m not bothered about the changing trends in social media platforms. My concern revolves around my viewers’ preferences. My content is solely created on this agenda to keep my audience hooked and entertained. I aim to deliver the best content with time.
- Feedback and interaction with followers are crucial for digital creators. What is one of the most memorable responses you’ve received from your audience, and how has it impacted your approach to content creation?
My viewers feel deeply connected with my work. They relate with the words, sentences, and circumstances to such an extent that one of my followers thought I had CCTV cameras installed at his place. Such instances make me feel happy to know my work is associated with real-life Marwadi family situations.
