Sikhism,[1] founded on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev and ten successive Sikh Gurus (the last one being the sacred text Guru Granth Sahib) in fifteenth century Punjab, is the fifth-largest organized religion in the world.[2] This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the counsel of the gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit root śiṣya meaning “disciple” or “learner”, or śikṣa meaning “instruction”.[3][4]

I know that Sikhism’s roots are based in Hinduism, but based on the general understanding Sikhism is believed to be started by Guru Nanak Dev. Please enlighten me if there is any other thing.
