Ujjwal Chaurasia goes by Techno Gamerz on YouTube, and if you’ve searched for his live subscriber count, you’re probably one of the millions who’s watched his GTA V videos at some point. The channel is now the most subscribed individual gaming channel in Asia. It didn’t get there overnight.

1. Who is Techno Gamerz

He started this in August 2017, in Class XI, filming on his brother Ankit’s phone. Not his own phone. He didn’t have one. That detail gets left out of a lot of the fan pages, but it’s worth knowing because it’s the actual starting point, not some polished origin story.

1.1 Friends asked, so he filmed

His friends kept asking him for gaming tips. Filming a video was less repetitive than explaining the same thing five times, so that’s what he did. His brother later walked him through monetisation on YouTube, and somewhere around there it stopped being a side thing.

Getting to 100,000 subscribers took about a year and a half. That happened on January 6, 2019. Ten million came in 2020. Neither of those numbers arrived fast, whatever the current subscriber count might suggest to someone discovering the channel today.

2. The subscriber count, as of right now

Here’s the timeline, roughly:

By June 2022, he’d crossed 27.5 million. VidIQ recorded 44.3 million on January 26, 2025. By March that same year, it was 45.1 million, which at the time made him India’s biggest individual YouTuber across any category, gaming or not. Then on February 18, 2026, he crossed 50 million. First individual gaming creator from Asia to do that.

2.1 It won’t stay 50 million for long

That number is already out of date by the time you read it. Big channels gain and lose subscribers constantly, so whatever’s on screen is a snapshot from a moment ago, nothing more. YouTube rounds public numbers past 1,000 subscribers anyway, so the exact figure was never really visible to the public in the first place. Only Chaurasia sees it precisely, through YouTube Studio.

2.2 There are actually four channels

Techno Gamerz is the main one, but there’s also Ujjwal, Ujjwal Shorts, and a lifestyle channel called Techno. Add them together and you’re past 70 million subscribers combined, with 16 billion-plus views. Ujjwal, the second channel, hit 8 million subscribers back in mid-2022. Techno, the lifestyle one, launched January 2023 and was sitting at 4.86 million by August 2025. People who just want gameplay stay on the main channel. People curious about his actual daily life go watch the other one.

3. Beyond the subscriber count

Subscribers get all the attention. Views and watch time tell you more.

3.1 The numbers behind the numbers

13.15 billion total views, as of that January 2025 vidIQ pull, up about 2 percent from the month before. Just over a thousand videos produced that. Do the math and it’s obvious individual uploads are doing the heavy lifting here, not some relentless daily upload grind.

3.2 What people actually watch

GTA V is the thing he’s known for. Original storylines, built with mods, past 140 episodes now, averaging 5 million views each. But Granny and Mr. Meat videos separately pulled 47 to 77 million views apiece, per numbers from AFK Gaming. So it’s not really about the game. People seem to watch for how he tells the story, whatever’s on screen.

4. Checking the number yourself

Skip the articles. Go straight to the source.

4.1 On YouTube itself

Search his name, look under the channel banner. You’ll see something like “50M,” rounded, because that’s how YouTube displays anything past 1,000 subscribers.

4.2 Social Blade or vidIQ

Both track daily changes and estimated earnings for public channels. They lag YouTube’s live count by a few hours sometimes, since they refresh on a schedule rather than pulling fresh data every single time someone opens the page.

4.3 One thing worth knowing

Some trackers stop updating entirely for channels that go quiet, and the number just sits there, frozen, looking current when it isn’t. Check two sources before trusting either one completely.

5. What brands and other creators take from this

A jump from zero to 50 million in under a decade looks like luck from the outside looking in. It mostly wasn’t. Years of consistent uploads, storylines that ran long instead of chasing trends, new channels only launched once the first one was already solid. He’s managed by OpraahFX now, and Indian brands doing influencer marketing often bring this channel up as the example for why longer creator partnerships tend to beat one-off sponsored posts.

6. The short version

Techno Gamerz launched August 13, 2017, and crossed 50 million subscribers on February 18, 2026. Across all four channels combined, he’s past 70 million subscribers and 16 billion views. The live count changes daily and always shows up rounded publicly. Check YouTube itself, or Social Blade, or vidIQ, for the closest real number.
