Ujjwal Chaurasia, known online as Techno Gamerz, has crossed 50 million subscribers on YouTube. The New Delhi-born gaming creator is now widely recognised as the first individual gaming YouTuber from Asia to reach this mark, cementing his position as the most subscribed gaming channel on the continent.
The milestone adds another chapter to one of Indian digital media’s fastest-growing success stories, built entirely from a passion for video games that began on a borrowed phone.
Who Is Techno Gamerz?
Ujjwal Chaurasia was born on January 12, 2002, in New Delhi, India. He launched the Techno Gamerz YouTube channel on August 13, 2017, while he was still in Class 11. His early videos focused on mobile gaming tutorials, and he uploaded them using his elder brother Ankit’s phone.
When one of his early videos gained significant traction, Ankit encouraged Ujjwal to post more regularly. The channel grew steadily, and Ujjwal shifted to a more consistent schedule that balanced his studies alongside content creation.
He is currently managed by OpraahFx, India’s influencer marketing agency, and is a Red Bull India athlete.
Techno Gamerz gained its first 100,000 subscribers by January 6, 2019, less than two years after launch. The channel reached 10 million subscribers in 2020, just three years after it was created. By March 2025, Chaurasia crossed 45.1 million subscribers, which at that time made him India’s biggest individual YouTuber across all categories, surpassing creators in gaming, entertainment, and lifestyle.
The channel has since continued its growth trajectory, crossing the 50 million mark on the main Techno Gamerz channel. Combined across all four of his YouTube channels, which include Techno Gamerz, Ujjwal, Ujjwal Shorts, and Techno, his total subscriber count exceeds 70 million, with approximately 16 billion views.
Techno Gamerz is best known for its GTA V gameplay series. Chaurasia developed his own storylines within the game using mods, and each video in the series has accumulated over 5 million views. He has published more than 140 GTA 5 episodes to date.
He has also built a large audience around Minecraft, PUBG Mobile, BGMI, Garena Free Fire, Red Dead Redemption 2, and horror titles. Videos such as “Grandpa and Granny Two Hunters” have crossed 10 million views, while “Just Draw” and “BeamNG” have each exceeded 12 million and 13 million views respectively.
A key factor in his growth has been his commentary style. His Hindi voiceovers, which blend humour with in-game storytelling, have made the content highly accessible to Indian and South Asian audiences. He posts new videos every two to three days on his main channel.
Techno Gamerz has been consistently ranked as the number one gaming YouTube channel in Asia. His 50 million subscriber achievement on a single dedicated gaming channel places him in a category that no other gaming creator from Asia had previously reached.
In 2021, YouTube ranked Techno Gamerz fifth on its Top 10 Gaming Streamers list globally. In 2024, he became the only Indian gaming creator nominated for The Game Awards, held in Los Angeles. SuperGaming also launched a playable in-game character modelled on him, a recognition that few creators in the region have received.
Chaurasia has built a presence that extends past content creation. He has secured brand partnerships with Red Bull India, Nvidia, and Asus. His music video “Game On”, produced in collaboration with Sez on the Beat, tells the story of his journey from zero subscribers to 10 million and has crossed 62 million views.
In July 2025, he led Team Delhi AI Legends to victory at Samsung’s PlayGalaxy Cup Z Fold Edition, defeating 11 teams in four matches and winning a prize of Rs 2.4 lakh.
He has also served as a jury member for the Exhibit Tech Awards and has been cited in multiple industry reports as one of the most significant gaming personalities in India.
India’s gaming market is expected to grow to $9.2 billion by FY29, according to Lumikai’s annual State of India Interactive Media and Gaming Report FY24, produced in collaboration with Google. Techno Gamerz’s growth has been part of a wider shift in how Indian audiences consume gaming content, moving from passive viewership to active engagement with creators.
His main channel now has over 1,158 videos and has accumulated more than 15 billion total views. With a 3.35 percent engagement rate, his channel continues to attract millions of
