ScoutOP (Tanmay Singh) Wiki, Age, Height, Net Worth 2026

Tanmay Singh, known to millions as ScoutOP (or simply Scout), is one of the most recognisable names in Indian gaming and esports. Born in Valsad, Gujarat, he rose from competitive PUBG Mobile tournaments to become a streaming giant with millions of followers, co-founded the esports organisation Team XSpark, and in September 2026 became the first esports player to enter the Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 20 house — where his on-air revelation that he earns around ₹30 lakh a month left even the host stunned.

Early Life

Tanmay Singh was born on 30 July 1996 in Valsad, Gujarat, which makes him 30 years old as of October 2026. Biographical profiles also note his roots and connections to Odisha. According to the Free Press Journal, his earliest sporting ambition was football — he reportedly trained with the aim of playing professionally — but a hamstring injury ended that path and pushed him toward gaming instead.

He has kept most of his family life private; the one detail that appears in published profiles is his mother, Sasmita Singh. In interviews he has spoken about his family without going into detail about their professions, and he worked out of Mumbai as his esports and streaming career grew.

Esports and Gaming Career

Tanmay Singh began his professional esports career in 2018, when competitive mobile gaming was still taking shape in India. Playing under the tag ScoutOP, he built a reputation for aggressive gameplay, sharp shooting and confident in-game decision-making in PUBG Mobile, quickly becoming one of the early stars of India’s competitive scene.

Over the years he represented a string of major organisations: Team IND (earlier R4W), GodLike Esports, Team SouL, Fnatic India, and Orange Rock. His biggest international result came in 2020 with Orange Rock at the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East, where the team finished runners-up — one of the most notable international achievements for an Indian PUBG Mobile squad, as reported by Excelebiz. He later became the co-founder and co-owner of Team XSpark, working as a player, mentor and gaming personality; the organisation won the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) in 2024, according to Filmibeat. He was also associated with the S8UL gaming community as a content creator from 2020 to 2024, and has served as a brand ambassador and mentor for Revenant XSpark.

Alongside competition, ScoutOP built one of India’s biggest gaming audiences. His main YouTube channel has more than 6.5 million subscribers, his Instagram account has over 4.4 million followers, and his popularity even extended into the game itself: BGMI featured a ScoutOP voice pack carrying some of his popular catchphrases. He has worked with major brands including Monster Energy and Ather Energy. In late 2024 he unveiled his dream house near the beaches of Daman, which reportedly took years of planning and investment, as covered by Filmibeat.

Bigg Boss 20

In September 2026, Scout entered Bigg Boss 20 — the first time an esports player appeared as a contestant on the show. The spotlight found him immediately on the grand premiere of September 6: when host Salman Khan asked how much he earned from gaming, Scout revealed that he makes around ₹25–30 lakh per month through gaming, streaming, content creation and sponsorships, as reported by Khel Now. The figure visibly impressed Salman Khan and set off a wider conversation about how lucrative gaming and content creation have become in India.

The claim also drew scepticism. YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani publicly called him “jhootha” (a liar) over the ₹30-lakh figure, sparking a round of netizen debate, as covered by the Free Press Journal. Scout has stood by the number. Inside the house, he has stayed central to the action: during the Week 6 nomination round he clashed with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer after Qazi nominated him, and Scout landed among the 11 contestants nominated for eviction that week, per Filmibeat. He remains in the game as of mid-October 2026.

Personal Life

Scout has largely kept his personal life private while focusing on gaming and content creation. He is reportedly in a relationship with content creator Kaashvi Hiranandani; neither has publicly confirmed the relationship, and media reports describe it as unverified. He is unmarried.

ScoutOP Net Worth 2026

Media outlets have published estimates of ScoutOP’s net worth, but none are independently confirmed. Bharat Fast estimates it at around ₹12 crore, while SportsDigest puts the figure between ₹15 and ₹20 crore. His income streams include tournament-adjacent earnings (usually the smallest part of the total, per Bharat Fast), YouTube and streaming revenue, brand endorsements and sponsorships, and his ownership stake in Team XSpark. On the Bigg Boss 20 premiere he stated that he earns roughly ₹30 lakh a month.
