His fast-paced, high-production videos have cemented his status as one of YouTube's most successful creators, generating hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

On the other hand, T-Series, founded by music pioneer Gulshan Kumar, emerged from humble beginnings as a fruit juice store owned by Kumar's father.
