Helping Gamer

The YouTube Creator community using their platform for good 

&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BB Ki Vines used his channel to shine a light on groups who felt the worst economic brunt of the pandemic and donated all the earnings from these videos to charity. There was Samay Raina, who came up with the inventive ‘" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chess for Charity’ and donated all earnings towards the fight against Covid-19. We also saw creators like CA Rachna Phadke, Tanmay Bhat and Dr. Vivek Bindra sharing pragmatic tips for financial prudence and investments for individuals and small businesses to weather the pandemic.  While creators like " target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sandeep Maheshwari and " target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prajakta Koli broached the often-overlooked topic of mental health and self-care, bollywood stars like Karthik Aryan used his vast platform to highlight the unsung heroes of the pandemic - frontline workers and first responders. 

Helping the community connect, learn and feel connected in uncertain times

With almost the entire population of the country under lockdown to curb infection spread, many people leveraged YouTube to garner a range of new skills and hobbies, and upskilled out of necessity.
