'Content for Good' is a powerful theme. In a world filled with negativity online, it's refreshing to see a major summit promoting positive social impact. Indian creators should definitely take note and collaborate on projects that benefit society.

The scale is mind-blowing! 15,000 creators and 3.5 billion collective audience? 🤯 Dubai is really setting the global standard. I hope our Indian metros can also host events of this magnitude to showcase our digital talent to the world.

While I appreciate the initiative, I hope the focus on "Content for Good" is genuine and not just branding. Sometimes these summits become more about networking and business deals than actual social impact. The proof will be in the projects that come out of it.

The UAE's strategy is clear - attract global talent and investment. As an Indian entrepreneur, I've seen how business-friendly Dubai is. This summit is another smart move. Maybe it's time for more of our creators to look at opportunities in the Gulf region.

Museum of the Future as a venue! How cool is that? 🚀 It perfectly matches the theme. India has so many historical and modern venues that could be used for such innovative gatherings. We need to think bigger for our creator economy events.
