What happens when a former NASA engineer with over 26 million YouTube subscribers meets India’s beloved brunch queen? Sparks fly—quite literally! In a delightful episode of Sunday Brunch, our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, met with the ever-curious and infectiously enthusiastic Mark Rober at Imlee, our cosy restaurant in Mumbai. Between bites of piping hot kachoris and sweet gulab jamuns, Rober opened up about his career trajectory, his love for science, and—of course—his first taste of authentic Indian cuisine.
A Journey From NASA To YouTube Fame
Mark Rober, the brain behind some of the internet’s most mind-blowing science experiments, spoke candidly about his unconventional journey—from working on the Mars Rover at NASA to becoming a full-time YouTuber. “It was never the plan,” he told Kamiya, “but I realised I could reach millions with science through fun.” His trademark glitter bomb videos may be viral hits, but it’s his ability to simplify complex scientific concepts that truly sets him apart. Mark Rober’s passion for making science exciting is evident in every word he speaks—and every experiment he shares.
