When Maini was studying at the [[University of Warwick]] in the United Kingdom, he was on an economics track. During his studies, he had an internship at [[Pricewaterhouse Coopers]], an accounting firm in [[London]]. He considered these eight weeks "rather mundane and boring". When there, Maini would often complete his work "really quickly" and begin jotting down ideas for new YouTube videos to get recorded that evening. After his internship with Price Waterhouse, Maini was propsed an entry-level job, that made a salary of about £35,000 (about $44,285). However, he turned down the job and prioritized his career on YouTube.

Maini initially focused on videos about smartphones, including smartphone reviews. However, as the channel's following expanded, he extended his videos to covering laptops, cars, and even a vacuum cleaner. He has also made videos where he gives his opinions about topics such as manipulation of the media by tech companies and the metaverse. In 2015, Maini uploaded his first viral video that was a tutorial on creating a makeshift 3D hologram projector by crafting a pyramid composed of reflective material and placing it on a smartphone screen. The video received coverage from [[The Daily Dot|''The Daily Dot'']] and [[CNBC]]. The video is his second most viewed YouTube video, with his collaboration with YouTuber [[MrBeast]] being the only video to have more views than his hologram projector video.

In May 2021, Maini signed with [[Night (company)|Night Media]]. In September 2022, Maini released a video claiming that [[Samsung]] phones may have problems with swelling batteries after he found that his [[Samsung Galaxy Note 8]], [[Samsung Galaxy S6]], and [[Samsung Galaxy S10]] had all experienced the issue.
