Rohit Raj, Co-Founder & CEO at BB Ki Vines Productions, expressed his views on what the future of the creator economy looks like and the power they have to shape the future and the industry. Rohit said, We are all in the first decade of the internet of content creation in India. We have seen changes in the last two years, and most of these are very dynamic. So, I would say that today, we can not envision what the future will look like, but it is definitely green and prosperous as all these platforms are coming up with different tools to empower talent. We will have to keep adapting and getting used to whatever the platforms offer and keep up with the new platforms that are coming up. �?

What are the key factors to building a sustainable career path or business for themselves?

Discussing how to date, a huge bunch of creators are heavily dependent on branded collabs and what should creators do to move ahead of relying on these collabs and build a sustainable career path or business for themselves. Rohit Raj mentioned, The first goal is to create content that suits the self, entertains the audience, and keeps them engaged. To sustain, you have to keep adapting.

“In India, content has rarely been monetized in any other way but ads. All of it is still ad-supported, brand supported in some way. People did not pay for content, but now OTT is changing that. Even when it comes to advertising digitally, brand monetization fits when you have a large audience. You can reach out to them in a message. At some point in time, we would love to see more consumer monetization. �?, added Vinay Pillai, Head, Clout, Pocket Aces.

“We need to stay true to what we want. Bhuvan always wanted to act and tell different stories. Now with every stage or quarter, he will get multiple platforms to tell that story, but he will have to stay true to the fact that he will have to act and figure out and find new stories to tell.
