YouTube CEO Neal Mohan recently returned to the US after spending nearly a month in India. Upon his return, he shared a photo of himself standing in front of the India Gate, calling his visit “special.” Mohan was in India for the company’s flagship Brandcast event.

“Just returned from a trip to India after a long while. It was wonderful to spend time with friends and colleagues, enjoy the amazing food, and experience firsthand how people use @YouTube every day,” he said in a post on X.

“This visit was even more special because I met up with creators! We celebrated milestones and joined YouTube’s Brandcast event in India, where we highlighted the global impact of Indian creators.Looking forward to sharing more from the visit…” he added.

YouTube “passed a huge milestone” in India

Earlier this month, Mohan said that YouTube Shorts, which was launched globally from India, achieved trillions of views in under four years and the platform has emerged as the favoured platform for Indians to consume their content.

“Indian creators are making videos inspired by local trends that go on to define global culture,” Mohan said, adding, “YouTube is number one in reach and watchtime in India. And we just passed a huge milestone. Shorts, which we first launched in India, now has trillions of views here.”

He talked about India’s 11,000-strong Indian creator community with over a million subscribers. Mohan pointed out that YouTube is the most streamed service on Connected TVs in India with viewership growing 4x in the last 3 years.

“Times have changed. Now, creators are the new A-listers. Like Prajakta Koli, whose comedy journey on YouTube led to a starring role in a Netflix series and her Bollywood debut. And Diljit Dosanjh, the first Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella,” said Mohan.

As per mohan, the creators and artists have been driving growth on YouTube.
