Making of a comedian | Anshu Mor | TEDxFMS

In his speech Mr. Anshu Mor talks about how he came from a corporate life into being a comedian using 8 learnings he had. Mr Anshu Mor spent 18 years in corporate life, last 11 of which were at Microsoft before he quit the company. He was the head of the Xbox business during which he launched the Kinect and Xbox One in India and structured a game changing exclusive partnership of Xbox and Amazon India. Back in July 2015, Anshu Mor was hosting Microsoft's annual meeting. After the meeting, the television host Roshan Abbas walked up to him and said, "You are meant to be on stage". That was the final push for Mor to quit his job and become a full-time stand-up comedian and storyteller.. Mr Mor quit Microsoft at the age of 44 and started his journey in the comedy world Havig performed a record 100+ shows in his first year of his stand-up, he has to his credit two highly appreciated stand-up solo specials - “The Anshu Mor Show” and “Wait there’s Mor”.

his method of presenting himself is really good! i found him out just a few hours back and i love this comedy already! Who said a 19 year old can't get a 40 year old person's humour?! xD

[@ashishbakshi1615]

I have seen many stand-ups by you and have enjoyed them. I can relate appreciate your story in many different ways. After listening to this talk my respect for you has gone up a notch today! Keep it up Anshu!

[@phoneix24886]

Anshu mor has a very matured edge on his comedy. Me fast approaching my 30s, I find it really funny.. young people might not be so much interested in those jokes so to speak

[@arshanhassan4531]

This speech is a threat to corporate world or corporate aspirants as everyone would try to find themselves and would try to achieve on their own.

[@chhavibakshi1121]

He is amazing and the best part is he is himself! And that is what makes him REAL.
