Two speakers discuss how India's young population is building careers through social media and brand deals, creating value independently in the growing creator economy. The conversation explores both the opportunities and challenges young Indians face in this new internet economy.
As you know, we have the youngest population in the world. How do you see India in this space?
A lot of people don't have jobs, but at the same time, the creator economy is growing. People are creating their own value. Young Kids today have 100,000 followers, and they're getting brand deals and they're making more money than their mom and dad could have made. If we always ask ourselves what I can do for the country, you will always get an answer. If I'm dependent on a system, yes, the system needs to improve. Government, schools, all of those things. But I think should not be used as a crutch if the youth of the nation today says, I will find my own path. And with the new creator economy coming up, I think a new India with the new Internet has no boundaries.
