Arunabh Kumar is an Indian entrepreneur, producer, director, screenwriter, and actor, and the founder of the streaming platform The Viral Fever (TVF). Nothing short of an inspiration and passion personified, he is today responsible for creating some of India's most entertaining digital content, known for shows characterised by parody, youth-oriented content, and themes around competitive exams in India.

Born on 26 November 1982 in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, Kumar is an IIT Kharagpur alumnus who completed his B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering before joining Shah Rukh Khan's production house Red Chillies Entertainment as an assistant under Farah Khan, working as assistant director on Om Shanti Om. He later came to Bombay to work on a project for the US Air Force, but soon realised it wasn't where his passion lay, and quit his job.

In the second half of 2010, Arunabh started The Viral Fever (TVF) alongside his friend, first employee, and current partner Amit Golani, who re-edited the first video before they uploaded it on YouTube. Within a couple of days, it received around 17,000 to 18,000 likes and became the second most-viewed video in the entertainment category that week. Within 18 months of starting up, TVF had grown to around 2 million subscribers, 180 million views, and more than 200 uploaded videos, numbers that reflect the success of Arunabh's passion-to-paycheck journey.

He has been featured in business and media listings, including Fortune India's "40 Under 40" list in 2015 and 2016. He is also the producer of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest.
