“Snax” is known to be one of the leading figures in India’s gaming arena. Not only is he a great performer in professional PUBG Mobile games, but he has also gained a lot of fame for being one of the largest streamers and content creators of his era, due to his lazy effort of building a massive fan base, thereby making him one of the recognizable figures of Indian Esports. Moreover, his disciplined way of life and exceptional gaming skills, along with his relatable nature, have made him earn respect from both entertainers and competitors.
Raj Varma, also known as “Snax”, was born on December 6, 2000, in Hyderabad, Telangana. He is 25 years old as of 2026. Coming from a middle-class family, Raj believed in hard work since his childhood days. Often, Raj talks about how seeing his parents work hard (and struggle) taught him to have a successful future for himself and to help his family when needed.
Raj completed his education at St. Theresa’s High School in Hyderabad before attending an area college, where he began working towards a degree, but continued pursuing his passion for video games and Esports. Throughout his college experience, he remained very passionate about competitive gaming and, during that time frame, began to meet with additional success and notoriety in the online gaming world.
Rise in PUBG Mobile and BGMI
Raj became well known from playing PUBG Mobile, and his success has continued with Battlegrounds Mobile India. He is affectionately known as the “DP King” because he is so well known for the way he controls the DP-28 gun while playing the game.
As one of the biggest esports players in India, he has played with some of the largest teams (Entity Gaming, XO), had a large presence in the Indian esports scene, and had one of his greatest competitive accomplishments playing for Team India at the PUBG Mobile World League East, where he played against some of the biggest international esports teams in the world, in 2020.
As his esports career progressed, he continued to deal with multiple injuries and health issues and transitioned to become a content creator full-time. All the success he is having on his YouTube channel, “Snax Gaming,” where he’s gained millions of subscribers, comes after he dedicated himself to content creation and making a channel full-time.
Raj focuses on creating many different forms of content like gameplay videos, live streams, tutorial-style videos, vlogs of his daily life, and much more. The community appreciates how calm Raj is when playing video games, how tactically he approaches them, and how supportive he is toward people looking to better themselves (both as people and as players).
In 2022, Raj became a content creator for S8UL Esports and has been even more active within the Indian gaming community. He has received plenty of attention from participating in and being present at live events such as DreamHack and various gaming conventions; Raj has reached a much larger audience in person than he has on YouTube.
He also makes a massive effort to encourage fitness among gamers like himself. Height is 5’8″, built lean and muscular, with a routine of working out regularly for fitness, which helps to concentrate better & react quicker during long hours of gaming.
Discipline, humility, and focus define his personality; however, unlike most others, Raj invested time to develop his image through professionalism/consistency as opposed to gaining attention through controversy. By successfully creating this consistent foundation over the years, he has established himself as a role model for future generations of gamers.
Raj has always wanted to keep his personal life private – other than the few mentions or pictures of family members here/there on social media. Very rarely does he talk about relationships publicly. He has a close relationship with his sister and attributes much of his success to the support received from his family.
Raj’s estimated net worth is around ₹10 crores in the year 2026. The majority of Raj’s income comes from YouTube revenue, esports professional partners/sponsorship agreements, live streaming & brand collaborations.
As the Indian Gaming Industry continues to grow rapidly, Raj “Snax” Varma will remain one of the most influential content creators who will help shape the future of Esports and digital entertainment within India.
