There is no doubt about the fact that India’s rapidly expanding digital content market cannot be expected to operate sans rules. A 2025 report by the Boston Consulting Group revealed that India is home to 2-2.5 million active digital creators. This high volume of content creators thus underscores the need for a robust regulatory framework. News disseminated by content creators have a wide reach: a 2025 Reuters report showed that 34% Indians consumed news from such sources. Regulations should therefore aim for a middle ground — guarding against misinformation without hampering the independent voices that news influencers and content creators claim to represent.
