1. The First Step of TSH
On 16th September 2017, a dream took its first breath. In the cozy setting of a living room, on a simple floor seating arrangement, The Social House hosted its very first event. With just 11 people in attendance and a “Pay As You Like” model, the evening was filled with raw emotions, nervous energy, and boundless passion. Ravie Solanky took the stage as the first host, unaware that this small gathering would one day evolve into India’s largest poetry platform. That night wasn’t just an event—it was the spark that ignited a revolution in storytelling and poetry.
2. The First Upload
In the early days of The Social House, strategy took a backseat to pure expression. Our first YouTube poetry video, “Tu mil gayi hoti to shayad main khud se na mila hota” by Shubham Gaud, went live without any thought of virality or reach. It was a time when we uploaded with heart, not hashtags. There was no race for views, no pressure of algorithms—just the joy of sharing poetry with the world. That first upload wasn’t about numbers; it was about starting a journey where every voice, every story, and every verse would find its home.
3. A Hundred Thousand Echoes
When The Social House YouTube channel crossed 1 lakh views, it was more than just a number—it was validation, a shared celebration of art and emotions. It was a sign that people were listening, feeling, and connecting. That milestone wasn’t just about reaching viewers; it was about building a community where every poem, every story, and every voice truly mattered.
4. Seven Hours, Countless Emotions
On March 21, 2018, The Social House celebrated World Poetry Day with an unforgettable marathon — a seven-hour-long poetry event, where the mic never cooled down. Back-to-back performances filled the air with verses of love, heartbreak, hope, and passion. The most magical part? The audience stayed, captivated, from start to finish.
5. One Lakh Hearts, One Dream
On 6th April 2018, The Social House crossed 1 lakh subscribers on YouTube — a milestone we hadn’t imagined reaching so soon. What started as a humble platform for poetry and storytelling was now resonating with thousands. It felt like we had, in some small way, brought poetry back to life in the digital age.
6. Our First Viral Sensation
On July 14, 2018, The Social House witnessed its first viral moment. “Hum Single Hi Achhe Hain” by Sangita Yaduvanshi took the internet by storm, hitting 1 million views in just a few days. What started as another heartfelt performance quickly turned into a phenomenon, resonating with millions. Today, the video proudly sits at over 10 million views, a reminder that raw, honest poetry still holds power in the digital age. It wasn’t just a viral video — it was proof that TSH had become a voice people wanted to hear, again and again.
7. From Stage to Screen
In 2018, The Social House achieved a groundbreaking moment — our content was broadcast on Tata Sky’s Qtv channel, bringing poetry to television screens across the country. It was the first time poetry content found its space on TV in this way, and for us, it was more than just a telecast. That moment was a proud step forward — not just for TSH, but for every poet who dreams of their words reaching far beyond the stage.
8. Taking the Stage Beyond Delhi
Our journey stepped beyond Delhi for the first time when The Social House was invited to DAV College, Amritsar, for a poetry show that became an unforgettable milestone. The event was a resounding success, and the glowing newspaper articles that followed said it all. That day, we realized that TSH wasn’t just a Delhi phenomenon; it was a movement that was ready to travel, touch hearts, and create stories wherever the mic stood.
9. Nurturing Artists with TSH Classroom
On 5th November 2018, The Social House took a bold step beyond performances and launched TSH Classroom, an educational vertical designed to teach and inspire. From poetry and comedy to acting workshops, this platform opened its doors not just for students but for working professionals eager to explore their creative side. With expert mentors and interactive learning, TSH Classroom became a nurturing ground for artistic growth. And this is just the beginning — with new courses and innovative formats on the horizon, the journey of learning, creating, and evolving continues.
10. The Social House Show & 1 Million People
We wrapped up the year with something special — The Social House Show at VSPK International School. A lineup of incredible TSH artists took the stage, creating an unforgettable evening of poetry, and comedy. But the magic of that day didn’t stop there — it was also the day we hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Ending the year with a full house and a million hearts online felt like a beautiful affirmation of everything we’d built.
11. TSH at YouTube FanFest 2019
The Social House made history by performing at YouTube FanFest, becoming the first poetry channel to grace such a grand platform. It was more than just a performance — it was poetry’s moment of glory on a stage. To represent our art form, our community, and our journey at such a massive event was a moment of immense pride.
12. Introducing The Fam Store
The Social House expanded beyond the stage and screen, launching The Fam Store ( earlier TSH Fam ), our very own online merchandise platform. What started as a way to bring viral poetry and comedy lines to life on t-shirts quickly grew into a collection of trendy designs — from hoodies and joggers to notebooks and sweatshirts. And just like our art, The Fam Store continues to evolve, with creativity stitched into every design
13. Two Million YouTube Subs
Reaching 2 million subscribers on YouTube was more than just a number — it was a testament to the power of words and the love of our growing community. Every poem, every story, and every performance found its home in the hearts of millions, turning The Social House into a family that believes in the magic of expression.
14. From Living Room to Studio
The Social House took a major step forward — moving from a cozy living room setup in Vikaspuri to a professional space in Tilak Nagar. What once began as a heartfelt passion project was now shaping into something bigger, more organized, and undeniably serious. The new setup wasn’t just about a larger space; it was a reflection of how far we’d come and how much further we were ready to go. That shift marked the beginning of a new chapter, where dreams started turning into plans, and plans into milestones.
15. TSH’s Three Day Carnival
The Social House transformed into a festival of creativity with our 3-day carnival, celebrating poetry, comedy, music, storytelling, and more. Artists from diverse genres came together under one roof, turning each day into a vibrant symphony of words and melodies. It wasn’t just an event; it was a gathering of dreamers, creators, and listeners, all sharing the same love for art in its purest form.
16. TSH Enters the India Book of Records!
The Social House made its mark in history by becoming the first and only YouTube channel in its niche to be recognized by the India Book of Records. What started as a small community of poetry and storytelling lovers blossomed into a nationwide movement, celebrating the power of words. This achievement wasn’t just ours — it belonged to every artist, every viewer, and every heart that believed in the magic we create together.
