He was born in 1992 in Delhi to a middle-class family originally from Rajasthan. Mohak faced significant challenges during his childhood. According to Hauterrfly, his family went through a financial hardship following the 1992 Harshad Mehta scam that forced his father to shut down his business. Moreover, at one point, his mother even contemplated terminating her pregnancy due to the financial crisis. However, with the help of relatives, the family managed to overcome those difficulties. Mohak's scholastic success was made possible by his father's later acquisition of a steady career as a chartered accountant, which gave him a more secure upbringing. Later, the YouTuber did his schooling at Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram, and Narayana Academy and proceeded to Singapore Management University to obtain his degree.
