A football player-
Before becoming popular on YouTube, Lokesh was a state level professional footballer.
He played football for Hyderabad and also for many states and his dream was to settle as a football player.
But as Lokesh started seeing success with his YouTube channel, he left football to focus on his channel.
First video game-
Rapid Roll is the first video game that Lokesh played.
He played this game in 2005 on a Nokia feature phone.
As Lokesh hailed from a middle-class family, he had to continuously persuade his parents for two years to buy him a smartphone.
Finally, he got an Oppo smartphone worth ₹10,000 and it had 3 GB RAM.
Lokesh started playing PUBG on it and at that time, he didn’t know about Free Fire.
As PUBG was a resource hungry game, his phone used to overheat and lag.
Free Fire-
While in his 10th class, Lokesh came across an ad for Free Fire while scrolling Instagram.
He clicked on the ad and installed Free Fire and started playing the game.
Getting inspired-
During that time, Lokesh observed that there were many Free Fire YouTubers and they had thousands of subscribers.
At that time, his friend informed him about a YouTube channel by the name, Gyan Guru and this channel had 12,000 subscribers.
And by seeing that YouTube channel, Lokesh got inspired to start a YouTube channel and publish videos.
Starting a YouTube channel-
On 16 November 2017, Lokesh created his YouTube channel by the name, LOKESH GAMER and at that time, he was studying in school.
As he wanted to do something different, initially, he made videos about the updates instead of uploading the gameplay videos.
Initially, Lokesh named his YouTube channel as Lokesh Hack but six months later, he renamed it to LOKESH GAMER.
Struggling for views & his first earning-
Even though Lokesh worked on his YouTube channel for a year and a half, he used to get only 300-400 views on each of his videos.
At that time, he passed out from his tenth class and joined an inter college.
During that time, Lokesh promoted an app and earned his first ever income of ₹5000 from it.
After completing his intermediate, he studied part-time from a male-only college.
By his final year of college, Lokesh had acquired more than a million subscribers on LOKESH GAMER YouTube channel.
Maintaining secrecy-
Lokesh didn’t inform his parents that he was working on YouTube until he received his first income from Google AdSense.
Initially, as he used to play games all day long for his YouTube channel, his parents used to scold him.
Thankfully, Lokesh’s parents started supporting him when he started earning from his YouTube channel and becoming famous.
Investing into his channel-
Lokesh invested his first earning back into his YouTube channel and made a rare item video and this video became popular.
Later, he started getting sponsorships and he used to invest all his earned money back into his channel to create unique content.
And thanks to this, Lokesh’s channel started growing.
As of 2021, he invested a total of around ₹1 crore into his YouTube channel.
Currently, Lokesh is one of India’s biggest Free Fire content creators.
Helpful friends-
In the initial days, Lokesh didn’t have enough money to conduct giveaways on his YouTube channel and during that time, one of his friends, Yasin used to financially help him.
After a while, when he stopped working on his YouTube channel, his another friend, Anurag Saitama motivated him to resume working on his channel.

In his first year, Lokesh acquired only 15,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
