    Indian YouTube content Creators contribute around Rs 6,800 crores to the GDP annually: YouTube




    Digital
    Desk: India's creator economy is thriving, with local YouTube creators annually
    contributing an estimated Rs 6,800 crore to the country's GDP and creating 7
    lakh jobs.



    "The
    creative economy in India is certainly growing," stated Neal Mohan, Chief
    Product Officer, YouTube and SVP of Google, while participating online in CyFy
    2022, a conference on Technology, Innovation, and Society.



    The
    Observer Research Foundation organized the event (ORF).



    He
    claims that YouTube would not only allow creators to grow an audience but will
    also provide economic opportunity for them to start a business.



    Because
    YouTube is an advertisement-driven media platform, it is a perfect platform, for
    all types of enterprises, particularly small ones.



    "In
    terms of creative achievement and gender diversity, we have all major Indian
    languages represented on our platform. We have mechanisms in place to assist
    guarantee that the platform remains a safe and welcoming environment for both
    content creators and users "YouTube's Chief Product Officer stated.



    According
    to Mr. Mohan, YouTube is a platform in which content creators from all over
    India always appear on the  top.



    "It
    is our top priority to make it welcoming and diverse. Because the creator
    economy affects tens of millions of individuals in India, it is normal for
    governments to be concerned about what happens on these platforms
    "According to YouTube's Chief Product Officer.



    He
    stated that major players, governments, and YouTube are responsible for
    ensuring that the platform is not exploited to disseminate misinformation.



    "YouTube is a platform where
    people come to voice their ideas and perspectives on policy outcomes — our
    attitude to election integrity, disinformation prevention, and violence
    prevention is clear," Mr. Mohan added.
