Bengalis are known for being more on the cultural side of things from the very beginning. A stereotyped notion, yes! People expect Bengalis to be culturally enriched whether they like it or not. But it makes one feel proud nonetheless.

Yet, for a few years, it seemed as if the Bengali culture pool was not being represented correctly. Other than a few names here and there, Bengalis were subdued in the digitalisation of entertainment, namely YouTube. YouTube as a career option was unheard of in India.

It all started changing a couple of years ago. New YouTubers like Technical Guruji, Carryminati, Sejal Kumar, BB ki Vines and many more took to the platform as a career option and paved the way for others to walk into.

Bengalis are not behind as well. More and more people are jumping on the bandwagon, and channel count is increasing day by day. But in this ocean of YouTubers, who are the ones making meaningful content?

Fear not, here are the 7 Bengali YouTubers from almost every genre you must watch to get the authentic Bengali experience  –
