about varun

Varun Rana is a comedian, writer, musician, and social media creator based in New York. Originally from Detroit, Varun first began posting sketches on TikTok in 2021 after quitting his software engineering job at Amazon. He went on to work at several startups in go-to-market roles before pursuing content creation full time in the summer of 2024. He has built an audience of more than 170,000 followers across social platforms, making him one of the most recognizable satirists of corporate tech culture online.

Varun’s comedy cuts into the questionable trends of American high-tech work culture, the South Asian diaspora, and pop culture at large. His style is minimalist, brutally honest, and often absurd, leaning into uncomfortable truths and helping his audience laugh at the hand life dealt them.

Varun has partnered with cutting-edge technology brands that are reshaping the status quo, including Ramp, Gamma, Notion, and Replit, as well as consumer brands like Samuel Adams and Dollar Shave Club. These collaborations reflect both the cultural relevance of his work and the versatility of his voice, bridging the gap between satire, storytelling, and brand impact.
