Dubbed Mr. Indian Hacker, Dilraj produces zany DIY science experiments and life-hacks. His stunts read like something wild — “Run your bike on water,” rockets, insane chemistry tricks — and he does them in an engaging, curious manner. Essentially an Indian Bill Nye who experiments with “what if” situations (such as driving an automobile underwater or creating a giant homemade furnace), his fun science experiments have yielded 45+ million subscribers, and his approachable “try it at home” voice appeals to both children and technology enthusiasts.

His channel blends game live streams and comedy skits, he may play GTA or PUBG and then make jokes, or rap battle other online celebrities.

Ajju posts gameplay, tips, and sometimes hilarious “clash” compilations with his friends. One of the attributes of his 44M+ following is his ability to be consistent, he posts on a daily basis and engages in real-time.

Three buddies (Nazim, Wasim, and Zayn) operate this channel. They create skits in the style of movies. They dress up in costumes and make short “movies” of school life, relationships or popular memes. Even their banner (above) appears to be an action movie poster! Round2Hell’s prank and parody videos (such as mocking school or action scenes) have movie-like feel and witty humor. They have 35M+ subscribers who enjoy their high-end skits. Think of them as the Indian versions of “SNL” comedians or an in-film spoof troupe — but in quick-paced YouTube form.
9. Amit Sharma (Crazy XYZ) — 33.3M subs.
Amit manages the Crazy XYZ channel on which, as the name implies, crazy science experiments and stunts reign supreme.

His DIY tutorials (such as constructing homemade devices or testing devices to breaking point) are wild and visually stunning. This innovative inventor persona has gathered 33M subscribers by consistently beating his previous experiment. In simple terms, if a “Top Gear” automotive-besotted episode and a mad scientist experiment hadmelded together, it would be Amit’s channel.
10. Ashish Chanchlani (Ashish Chanchlani Vines) — 30.7M subs.
Ashish is a comedy giant who produces skit comedy and “vines” (short jokes) on everyday situations. He plays out multiple roles in one video — e.g., a strict teacher, love-struck guy, or irritable parent — with funny exaggerated expressions. He uses slapstick and situational humor for targeting school life, family disputes or pop culture. With some 31M subscribers, Ashish’s videos are Indian versions of Saturday Night Live skits in Hindi.
