You have to beat stockfish at chess and Make the world achieve world peace for mac and cheese, besides that it’s completely possible for anyone to become one
It means "Master". It is written there in giant letters, white on bright red.
It is probably the equivalent of National Master, but in his country it's called just "Master" instead.

This is an invention of chess.com. They gave it to him because he promotes chess and he is popular in India.

It is not a real title. If you google it, you will find similar topics in the past, this question pops up every once in a while.

So India has a Master title instead of NM?
We need someone from that country to confirm or deny this.
I know that my country (Hungary) had a master title back in the day, and it was called simply "mester" (master), no national or anything.

So if it is not a real title (which I doubt), why did chess.com verify it?

The guy is a popular streamer, and comedian. He brought them a lot of business. 
They use the same M title for chess coach on chess.com for instance.

Samay Raina is funny and they just gave it to him as a joke.
They've done it to other people too. The Twitch streamer QTCinderella (700 ELO) received the WGM title for a while as well.
It's not that serious.
why does Samay Raina have the title "M"?
