Abhishek Upmanyu grew up in Delhi, and the city's slang, families and middle-class habits remain central to his comedy. He studied engineering and worked in corporate jobs before moving into comedy; his later material, such as the story set Employee No.1, draws on his time as an office employee. He later moved to Mumbai, an experience he joked about in his 2017 set Delhi, Mumbai & Rich People.
His exact date of birth has not been confirmed in any reliable source, so it is not listed here.
