Nagar started posting videos on YouTube since he was 10 years old.[2] Initially, he posted videos where he performed mimicry of Sunny Deol and played video games.[6] His first channel featured football tricks and skills.CarryMinati is his original YouTube channel, which has been active since 2014.[3] In 2014, the channel's name was AddictedA1 and Nagar used to upload recorded video game footage along with his reactions on the game. The channel was not very successful. In 2015, the Channel's name became CarryDeol, on which Nagar uploaded footage of playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive while mimicking Sunny Deol. Subsequently, he changed the name of the channel to CarryMinati when he started 'roasting people'.[7] In early 2017, Nagar started another YouTube channel called CarryIsLive, where he live-streams himself playing video games.[3]
