YouTuber Dhruv Rathee Launches AI Fiesta, a Global Hub for Six Premium AI Models
The popular YouTube creator launches his first tech venture, unifying six premium AI models into one affordable platform for users worldwide.
Dhruv Rathee, the Indian YouTuber known for simplifying politics, economics, and technology for millions, has officially stepped into the startup world with the launch of AI Fiesta. This subscription-based platform offers global users access to six of the world’s most advanced AI models under one roof—at a fraction of the cost of subscribing individually.
Who Is Dhruv Rathee?
Dhruv Rathee is no stranger to breaking down complex topics. With over 36 million subscribers across his channels and billions of views, he has become one of India’s most recognizable digital voices. Based in Berlin, Germany, Rathee holds a degree in mechanical engineering and renewable energy from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His influence extends far beyond YouTube, often shaping conversations on governance, climate change, and digital transformation.
How the Idea Came to Life
In his launch video, Rathee revealed that AI Fiesta was born from personal frustration. While working on his fact-check-driven content, he relied on multiple AI tools—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others—spending nearly $200 each month to cover different needs.
Yet, even after paying, he found fragmentation, token limits, and inefficiencies frustrating. Meanwhile, most of his own students in AI courses were stuck on free versions, missing out on the real potential of advanced models.
“I realized most people never experience AI’s full capabilities because of cost and complexity,” Rathee explained. “That’s when the idea of bringing all major AI tools together, at an affordable price, clicked.”

Reception & Skepticism
The launch has sparked debate online. On Reddit, some praised the affordability compared to individual AI subscriptions:
“This is Dhruv’s startup… paid versions, price is very low.”
Others, however, questioned whether the model can truly sustain itself:
“Another influencer business in the name of AI. Nothing but making idiots of followers.”
The reactions highlight the challenge Rathee faces: convincing skeptics that AI Fiesta is more than an influencer-backed side hustle, but a serious tool democratizing AI.
