At just 21 years old, he has become one of India’s most popular and influential gaming YouTubers. With millions of loyal subscribers, Ujjwal has earned widespread admiration for his remarkable gaming talent, engaging personality, and relentless commitment to turning his childhood passion into a full-fledged profession.
Early Life:
Ujjwal Chaurasia, popularly known as Techno Gamerz, is one of India’s most renowned gamers and YouTubers, celebrated for his entertaining gameplay videos, tutorials, and live streams. As the second most-followed gaming creator in India, he has built a massive fan base that continues to grow every day.
Born on January 12, 2002, in Delhi, India, Ujjwal grew up in a middle-class family alongside his parents and older brother. His fascination with gaming began at an early age when he spent countless hours playing classics like Contra and Mario on his 8-bit console. Those early gaming sessions would eventually spark a passion that turned into a full-time career.
Ujjwal launched his main YouTube channel in January 2018, initially focusing on Clash of Clans before moving on to PUBG Mobile. His high-kill solo gameplay videos became instant hits, and as his audience diversified, he began sharing lifestyle vlogs as well. Today, his main channel has amassed over 9.6 million subscribers.
In February 2022, he introduced a second channel to cater to the growing demand for short-form content. This channel, which focuses on quick and entertaining videos, has already surpassed 5.1 million subscribers.
Continuing to expand his digital empire, Ujjwal launched another tech-focused channel in January 2023, where he showcases content on supercars, stunts, and RC vehicles. Within just months, this channel grew to over 2.5 million subscribers, solidifying Ujjwal’s reputation as one of India’s most versatile and influential digital creators.
Beginning of the YouTube journey
Ujjwal Chaurasia, better known as Techno Gamerz, discovered his passion for gaming at a very young age. He spent hours playing mobile and PC games, and his fascination truly began after trying out the classic game SnowBros. Later, titles like GTA: Vice City further deepened his love for virtual adventures. Even though he didn’t have his own phone until he reached Class 12, Ujjwal’s determination to play never wavered—he would borrow any available device just to keep gaming.
His YouTube journey began modestly, using his elder brother’s Nokia 5 smartphone to record and upload gameplay videos. He created his first channel, simply named Ujjwal Chaurasia, and began sharing his gaming clips online. Without telling his family, he quietly started uploading content—and to his surprise, the videos quickly attracted a growing number of viewers.
When his elder brother eventually learned about the channel, Ujjwal still had no idea that YouTube could generate income. It was his brother who explained the potential of the platform and encouraged him to take content creation seriously. Inspired by this guidance, Ujjwal decided to fully commit to YouTube, leading to the creation of Techno Gamerz—the channel that would later make him one of India’s most celebrated gaming personalities.
