Summary
There was a significant surge in online content creation when people were confined to their homes and encouraged to explore digital platforms as a creative outlet. During this time, India’s digital creator community expanded rapidly, welcoming a wave of new creators into an already growing ecosystem. In many ways, the year 2020 became more bearable for audiences because of these digital creators who consistently produced engaging, relatable, and entertaining content.
