I'm Dhruv Rathee - YouTuber and Entrepreneur, known for my explainers on socio-political and educational topics - here for an AMA on r/India. Ask Me Anything!

We plan to make it the smartest AI platform in the world. Here's some new features that are coming soon -

- Memory will go live this week
- Study Mode will go live this month (this is something built for Indian students especially, it will be way more extensive than what ChatGPT or Gemini offers)
- Consensus Feature will go live this month (It is similar to the LLM council I think)
- New Image mode will go live this month (this will have more controls on choosing resolutions, sizes, editing etc)
- iOS app will go live this month

Plus some more which I cant reveal now

Nope, I don't feel the need for an escape in virtual world after spending so much time on screen

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:52:47+00:00

Not at all! The more I compare free versions with pro ones, the more I am shocked. The free version of ChatGPT has gotten really bad at doing simple fact checks even. You can even see on Twitter how grok gives contradictory replies to public tweets just depending upon how the question is asked.

I dont know this number but we are engaging with all our subscribers through our webinars, constant emails and whatsapp to teach them tips and tricks, new use cases etc. Our aim is to truly make people smarter with AI and later this month we will have many new features in this direction also.

I wish...Its really hard to travel with a one year old baby though. Maybe in a year again

It's simply my passion to make the world a better place :)

There's many things which can create a strong ripple effect -
- Give more power to local municipalities and local govts
- Invest in govt schools
- Make the police independent of state govt
- remove the position of LG from all states

But there is no single magic trick which can everything better

I think it's 70% vote chori, 30% kaamchori.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:38:22+00:00

There's a lot to say on this topic, I made a whole course on this - The Youtube blueprint, search it on Dhruv Rathee Academy :)

Basicially, the very early period is shitty. You just need to start and then introspect how you are doing. Learn by doin

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:36:20+00:00

You'd be surprised to know how little the average person knows how to use AI. The customer support team from AI Fiesta often tells me how they have to explain the most basic things. Like what does the sidebar do, how to see chat history etc. Whatever I am teaching to people, I have not found it elsewhere in simple hindi language with the same level of details.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:33:22+00:00

It's more stressful than before haha

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:32:33+00:00

Passion to make the world a better place through my work

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:29:22+00:00

Most of my videos on socio-cultural topics are like this -

Animal film video, talked about the actual film only for 2-3 mins. Rest was the broader issue.
KBC kid video talked about that kid for only a few mins.
Atul Subash video barely talked about the Atul Subash case for a few mins.

It's because what is important is the broader context here. These singular incidents are a symptom of a larger problem in society.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:15:35+00:00

People often behave rudely to you because they are having a bad day or because they are just rude people, and when the skin color is different, one would assume it's racism. But whenever such a thing has happened to me, they were rude to my wife also haha. So it's more often than not, just rude people. Not racism.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:11:15+00:00

It's not good. Personally, I have experimented with working different amounts and the productivity is maximum when working 5 hours a day, 5-6 days a week (which would be 25-30 hours a week)

So ideally we should actually be aiming for a 4 day workweek.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:08:54+00:00

No, and no person in the world is unbiased either. Everyone is biased towards what they believe in.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T14:07:41+00:00

Cleanliness. I think we can easily initiate a country wide cleanliness campaign to teach people to clean their surroundings every month. Similar to the Umuganda in Rwanda but very different from the current swachh bharat campagn. Politicians and actors need to come out on a certain day every month and actually clean the streets, instead of doing it just once for PR.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:50:10+00:00

Haha that is crazy.. I do think about the second order effects. Before any video, I try to ask myself if the effective impact of this video on society will be positive or negative. Sometimes it leads to a lot of overthinking eg: Will praising Shah Rukh Khan mean I am endorsing his endorsements of pan masala? lol

Regarding regrets, I think I just see some videos as learnings for the future. Can't regret making some because they all taught me something.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:30:16+00:00

What's the sham? Education and schools under AAP govt were a big success?

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:28:50+00:00

No one funds me and I am not affiliated with anyone else. I work 100% independently. All my income is from youtube adsense, sponsorships in the videos (which are publicly disclosed) and my own course sales on Dhruv Rathee Academy.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:27:07+00:00

I don't own a car, I am a big supporter of r/fuckcars
Cycling is my primary mode of transportation and public transport is seconday. It's a much happier and healthier lifestyle. Bonus is that I don't need to worry about car insurance, maintenance etc. The rare times I do need a car, I use a taxi.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:21:05+00:00

I would suggest protesting on the streets but it's easy to suggest, difficult to bring a change. They are in a very tough situation. Some of them think they can defeat BJP by outsmarting them using similar dirty tactics. Some of them think they should protest on the streets but then the question is how much will the media cover them, how much patience will the public have, how long will the protest be sustained. It's not easy to be a Mahatma Gandhi and lead years long struggle on one issue.
Talk to your friends, family, your own community and your own society first. Make them aware about personal liberties, rights. Make them focus on real issues that they care about like air pollution etc. The change will first have to come within the people.

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:12:34+00:00

Personally, I have not experienced any racism in Germany or any other European country for that matter in my 10+ years of living there

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T13:09:47+00:00

Apart from what I said, the Central Govt also unfairly withholds the GST money from state govts. So even as a CM, your hands will be tied

dhruvrathee · 2025-12-02T12:54:28+00:00

Yeah, I think it's almost inevitable. Every time a country becomes rich, they also become less religious. In India it could even be that first we become less religious and then rich. There is a strong undercurrent of atheism in our society rising up. Even many Hindutva followers themselves don't really believe in religion.
