24 hours to go!
India's best creators event.
Hello Creators,
The creative space is paradoxical. It is one of the most ruthless fields fueled by constant competition and yet it is the place that makes one feel at home, gives them a sense of belonging. The creator economy flourishes on the twin principle of competition and community.
You are constantly surrounded by people who are so amazing that they intimidate you and yet these are the same people who inspire you and push you to do better every day. It is rewarding to be a part of this network. And each and every creator across niches and fields contributes to this beautiful interweb every day through their content, ideas, and values. These creators are turning to entrepreneurship, bringing social change, and sometimes keeping us entertained in the newest and most exciting ways.
The Next Big Creator Awards by Pepper Content is a campaign to celebrate this blossoming potential of our creator economy. And they have brought together the most amazing lineup of individuals who perfectly understand the evolving pulse of the ecosystem.
Meet the Jury:
Roshan Abbas
Abbas loves stories so much that it was only natural that he would start ‘kommuneity’, one of the largest creator collectives. After a long career as a beloved radio jockey, emcee and having acted in many plays and even directed some shows, he has refined his creator strategy to a fine art.
Dar Gai
Gai is a director and a writer. Her directorial ventures, Teen Aur Aadha and Namdev Bhau have won accolades for their freshness and depth. With her own production company, Jugaad Motion Pictures, she is out to tell more impactful stories.
Viraj Sheth
An engineer-turned digital media expert, Sheth has helped many creators reach their present heights and proven to have a keen eye for talent and growth in the process. In a short span of 4-5 years, his venture Monk Entertainment has grown 10-fold in terms of team size and far more in terms of revenue.
Gunjan Arya
Arya is the CEO of OML, one of the biggest creator-focused media companies. She regularly manages artists and has developed a keen eye for helping them reach their potential.
Pooja Dhingra
Dhingra is a pastry chef extraordinaire, entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and social media influencer; no, we are not sugarcoating this! She has been monetizing her passion for over a decade and can be thanked for a few things we take for granted, like macaroons.
Chef Ranveer Brar
Brar can spot a good content creator like he can spot a well-cooked Dorra Kebab.
Magsplay
As one of the few big Indian female gaming Youtubers, Magsplay's rise to fame is significant. Mansi looks forward to challenging the status quo of the gaming community and making it a friendlier space for all gamers.
Art Guy Rob
Rob’s role was instrumental in mainstreaming a love for craft and creativity among his viewers in the late 2000s. He transitioned successfully to the digital space with his YouTube and IG channels. After over 2 decades, he continues to come up with fresh takes on art and craft.
Niharika NM
Niharika’s viral reels will leave you in splits! She is an easily recognizable face due to her unique style of relatable content with a Bangalorean spin.
