He is a man with lots of talent, from being an educationalist to a social worker, from poetry to comedy, from organizing college fests to nukkad nataks (street plays), he has done it all and aced them too. He started his start-up “Clean Bald” along with Abhey Kumar. Clean Bald started with organizing open mics (comedy) for the general public in around May 2017.
Before Clean Bald, there were fewer Open Mics in Surat spread on one in 3 or 6 months. So as to cultivate and encourage comedy, Sagar and Abhey came up with the start-up. They gained success from the first event itself and by the second event already had an offer for a corporate show. Clean Bald has had a spectacular success graph with recently reaching 20 open-mics in less than a year.
