History
Round2hell was launched on October 20, 2016, by childhood friends Zayn Saifi, Nazim Ahmed, and Wasim Ahmad, all hailing from Moradabad.
Initially, the group experimented with football montage videos, which received limited attention. Their shift to comedy sketches marked a turning point, with their 15th video, "Jio Users After 31st March," going viral in 2017 due to its timely commentary on the end of Reliance Jio’s free data offer.[4]
The name "Round2hell" reportedly originated from a spontaneous idea by Zayn Saifi, inspired by a drifting incident he likened to a "round to hell," though the trio has stated it was chosen somewhat arbitrarily.[2]
Over time, the channel expanded its scope to include narrative-driven short films and science fiction themes, alongside its comedic roots.
