Defamation case puts Nitish Rajput in spotlight
Defamation allegations have brought popular YouTuber Nitish Rajput into the national spotlight after Noida-based Eduquity Technologies filed a ₹2.5 crore lawsuit against him. The legal action follows a video uploaded by Rajput in which he questioned the company’s role and raised concerns about alleged irregularities in securing a tender related to the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examinations.
In the video, Rajput reportedly examined the tendering process and suggested discrepancies in how contracts were awarded. The company has denied the allegations and chosen to pursue legal remedies, asserting that the claims have harmed its reputation and business interests. The defamation suit now places the matter before the courts for adjudication.
Background and education
Nitish Rajput was born in 1989 in Sultanpur district, Uttar Pradesh. He spent part of his childhood in Rudrapur before his family relocated to Delhi. He later earned a Bachelor of Technology degree in Information Technology from Gautam Buddha University in Uttar Pradesh.
On his YouTube channel, Rajput presents himself as a content creator committed to delivering fact-based analysis. He has often stated that his objective is to provide carefully researched material that helps viewers form informed opinions grounded in verified information.
Previous controversies and digital presence
Rajput has previously made headlines beyond domestic debates. In 2025, he claimed that his YouTube channel was blocked in Pakistan during a period of heightened military tensions between India and its neighbouring country. The development drew attention to his growing influence across digital platforms.
With a substantial subscriber base, Rajput’s content ranges from public policy discussions to current affairs analysis. His audience engagement and reach have positioned him among the more prominent independent digital commentators in India.
Income and estimated net worth
Although Rajput has not publicly disclosed his financial details, industry estimates suggest his net worth could range between ₹86 crore and ₹128 crore. A significant portion of his income is believed to come from YouTube monetisation, along with brand partnerships and sponsored collaborations.
As the defamation proceedings unfold, the case is likely to attract attention not only for its legal implications but also for the broader debate it sparks about digital commentary, corporate accountability, and freedom of expression in the online space.
