From viral to vital AIWO influence 2025 celebrates the power of purposeful creation
AIWO is set to host AIWO Influence 2025, an exclusive creator and business summit, on November 14 at The Leela Palace in Chennai, bringing together 1,800+ creators, 50+ celebrities, and some of the country’s most forward-thinking brands and investors.At its heart, the summit is about helping creators move from influence to impact, and from followers to financial freedom.
Building the future of influence
In a world where millions aspire to create but few manage to sustain their creativity and maintain their reach, AIWO Influence 2025 aims to redefine what it truly means to be a successful creator. The summit blends the worlds of creativity, commerce, and community helping today’s digital voices evolve into tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. “AIWO Influence 2025 is where creators evolve into entrepreneurs,” said C. Sivasankaran, mentor, AIWO. “Today’s creators have the power to build real businesses, not just audiences. This summit is about turning followers into fortune, and creativity into capital,” he added. From content makers to brand builders, the event is positioned as India’s most exclusive creator-business summit, designed to unlock new pathways for monetisation, brand partnerships, and long-term career sustainability for a creator career that lasts 25 years, not 25 days, as Sivasankaran believes.
The rise of the Indian creator economy
India’s creator ecosystem has exploded over the past decade. With over 100 million active creators across YouTube, Instagram, and homegrown platforms, digital storytelling has become one of the nation’s most powerful exports.From fashion vloggers to tech reviewers, comedians to wellness coaches, these creators are not just entertainers, but micro-economies driving influence, consumer behaviour, and even social change.Yet, despite their reach, many struggle to build stable income streams or scalable brands. AIWO Influence 2025 addresses this gap by empowering creators to think like entrepreneurs, manage like CEOs, and build wealth that outlasts viral fame.
Three segments. One vision
The summit unfolds across three high-impact segments, each symbolising a creator’s growth journey from learning to legacy.
- Influence mastery: This opening segment explores how AI is transforming content creation from ideation and editing to analytics and engagement. Experts will showcase how creators can use AI tools to streamline workflows, personalise content, and expand audience reach.
- Transform billions: The afternoon focuses on the business of influence. Sessions will decode how creators can monetise digital communities, negotiate brand deals, build products, and scale their reach into enterprises. It’s about turning creativity into a predictable business model.
- Build legacies: The final segment celebrates creators who’ve transcended fame to create lasting impact. The evening will feature awards, celebrity performances, and legacy conversations, honouring those who have built influence rooted in authenticity, purpose, and longevity.
“True legacy is not about likes or followers,” said Sivasankaran. “It’s about how deeply you impact people and how long your ideas endure,” he added.Video Link: youtube.com/watch?si=ToV3aRG40HNnyxtt&v=H2l1rsum-iA&feature=youtu.be
