Ujjwal ‘Techno Gamerz’ Chaurasia is one of India’s leading gaming personalities.
He began his journey in gaming in the mid-2010s and quickly amassed a huge following because of his engaging content.
He was among the first generation of gamers who began researching multiple titles rather than just mastering one, and he was also among the Indian gaming pioneers who ventured into tutorial-making for budding amateur gamers.
“From childhood, I had a love for gaming. I’d take someone else’s mobile to play or spend hours on my family PC; those were my early days. Then I realised that people upload their gaming videos online. Back then, my friends thought that I was a great gamer and looked to me for tips. Encouraged by that, I started making tutorial videos for my friends, to teach them,” says Techno Gamerz about the birth of his gaming identity.
He did not realize at the time that he could turn his love for gaming into a profession. Spurred on by his brother’s support – who lent him his smartphone to play games whenever needed and also knew how to monetize a YouTube gaming channel – he launched his Techno Gamerz channel in August 2017. He launched a second YouTube channel titled Ujjwal in January 2018.
He has dabbled in many gaming titles, being most popular for his game streams in GTA V, Minecraft, Ranch Simulator, Garena FreeFire, Red Dead Redemption 2, PUBG, and much more. His engaging voiceover style, family-friendly persona, and inventive mod-based storytelling have stood out in the Indian gaming industry, helping him rise quickly as one of the most popular gamers in India.
As of April 2022, he has amassed over 26 million subscribers on the Techno Gamerz channel and over 7.63mn on the Ujjwal channel.
He has also diversified his interests by venturing into hip-hop, recording a song titled ‘Game On’ with acclaimed Indian producer Sez on the Beat. The song has over 62 million views on the Techno Gamerz YouTube channel.
