In India’s fast-growing gaming industry, which is seeing great change, only a few players have really left a mark in both competitive esports and content creation. One of those is Raj Varma, better known as Snax Gaming. From winning in BGMI tournaments to putting out very entertaining content via YouTube live streams, Snax has become a source of inspiration for the up-and-coming gamers across the country. As a person who, from time to time, watches the BGMI tournaments, I have always looked up to how he does well in high pressure situations, which to me proves that skill and patience are related.
Early Life and Background
Raj Varma was born on 6 December 1999 in Hyderabad, Telangana. In a middle-class family, he grew up to have a great affinity for mobile gaming at a young age. While many saw gaming as a pastime only, Raj had a different perspective, which was that it could be a very serious career. He did very well in school at the same time that he was developing his interest in esports, which in turn was adding to his reputation in the gaming world.
Standing at a height of 5’8” (173 cm) and in a very fit, muscular condition, Snax also puts out content that is health and fitness related. He refutes the idea that dedicated professional gamers ignore their health.
A Remarkable Esports Journey
Raj started his professional eSport career in 2019, which was in the scene for PUBG Mobile. Very soon, he got recognized for his outstanding performance, which, in particular, was amazing with the use of the DP-28, which saw him adopt the tags of “DP King” and “DP God”. Also over the years he was a part of many noted teams which included — Learn From Past (LFP), MegaX, MegaStars, TeamIND, Velocity Gaming, and Team XO.
After the release of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), Snax easily adapted to the new title and also kept up great results. His strategy, cool-headed decisions, and consistent play made him a very respected figure among India’s assault players.
Success Beyond Competitive Gaming
Following retirement from pro esports, Raj put his energy into full-time content creation. He joined S8UL as a gaming creator, which marked a new chapter in his career. Today, his YouTube channel includes gameplay videos, live streams, challenge videos, and he is also into collaborations with other large-scale creators.
His engaging and informative content has gained him a large following on many social media platforms. Brand deals, sponsorships, YouTube income, and collaborations have also solidified his spot as a top Indian gaming influencer.
Personal Life and Net Worth
Despite the fact that Raj is a public figure, he keeps his personal life private. At present, there is no public info regarding his girlfriend or dating life. He does talk about his family a great deal, in particular the sacrifices his parents made, which in turn are a large source of motivation for him through the years.
As of 2026, Raj Varma’s net worth is estimated to be around ₹10 crore (approx $1.1 million), which he has accumulated from esports, YouTube, sponsorships and brand collaborations.
Conclusion
Raj Varma’s story is of a man who, through his dedication, consistency and adaptability, turned a passion into a successful profession. From nothing, he grew to represent what were at the time the best esports teams in India, to becoming one of the most influential BGMI content creators in the country. His story is a live example that success is not just about coming out on top in tournaments, which is what the youth see daily in the news, but also about growing as a person and a creator, which in turn inspires thousands of young gamers.
