All India Bakchod[a] (abbreviated as AIB) was a Mumbai-based comedy company which created the eponymous podcast, YouTube channel and production company. The name is a parody of All India Radio. It began in 2012 as a humour/pop-culture podcast co-started by comedians Tanmay Bhat and Gursimran Khamba.[2] Their friends and contemporary comedians, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya were frequent guests[3] and the four co-founded the YouTube channel in 2013 and began making sketches.[4] They subsequently formed a digital agency and produced sketches, live comedy and TV shows.[5]
In October 2018, the company halted operation and fired its entire staff, after Bhat and Khamba were implicated in two separate sexual harassment allegations. No formal charges were made but the company dissolved in May 2019.[6] Khamba was dissatisfied with the independent investigation into the allegation against him and has since disassociated himself from the company and brand. The company's four founders continue to work in the comedy circuit. Bhat, Joshi and Shakya continue to collaborate independently. The company's social media accounts and YouTube channel are dormant.[6]
