Maha Kumbh 2025: IIT Baba's new pictures from IIT-Bombay days go viral
TOP 10 OF THE DAY


A fresh viral video featuring Abhey Singh, also known as IIT Baba, is circulating online, offering a rare look at his time at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay).
IIT Baba, who has captured the internet's attention with his extraordinary life journey, made a dramatic shift from aerospace engineering to spirituality. Now a sadhu at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, his transformation has sparked widespread curiosity and discussion about life choices and finding one’s true calling.
Reports suggest that IIT Baba was once immersed in the world of aerospace engineering at IIT-Bombay before he decided to leave his promising career to follow the spiritual path. His decision to move from a high-tech field to becoming an ascetic has led to a deep online debate about purpose, life priorities, and fulfillment.
In the recently surfaced video, IIT Baba is seen reconnecting with his former IIT-Bombay classmates, reliving moments from his college days. Shared on Instagram, the video has quickly become a sensation, amassing millions of likes and generating countless shares and comments.
The ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj has become a massive spiritual gathering, with an overwhelming turnout of devotees and saints. As of January 16, over 70 million people have taken part in the holy dip at the sacred Sangam and nearby ghats. Given the cultural and religious significance of the event, it is expected to draw over 450 million pilgrims from across India, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.
