YouTube Shopping now has Amazon & Meesho.
Good for creators. Tricky for brands.

The creator economy is moving from “content creation” to “business creation.”
AI is making it easier for creators to build, launch and operate products at scale.
The next big shift won’t be more creators. It will be creators becoming companies.
Creators are sitting on an overlooked asset: audience data. The next creator businesses will use it to understand demand, shape products, and launch faster than traditional companies ever could.
The creator economy isn’t slowing down.
Biz models are. AI is making content cheaper to create,which means trust is becoming even more valuable.The next gen of creator platforms won’t win because they have more creators.They’ll win because they help creators make more money.
We’re officially in the “creator as media asset” era. The most under-rated unlock: taking influencer content and running it across paid, email, product pages and app storefronts. If your best reels only live on Instagram, you’re leaving serious ROAS on the table.
AI is making content cheaper, not trust. The creators who win over the next decade will not be the ones posting the most. They will be the ones people are willing to buy from. Commerce is becoming the new engagement metric.
Every AI launch is teaching the same lesson: the model gets the headlines, distribution gets the money.
Creators who own trust will outlast creators who chase algorithms.
That’s why creator commerce is a bigger opportunity than creator content. Build the checkout, not just the content.
India becoming Claude’s biggest market outside the US is interesting.
We don’t have an AI adoption problem. We have a pricing and localisation problem.
Make global tech work for India and India will give you scale very quickly.
The next generation of startups won’t just compete on features.
They’ll compete on attention.
If people enjoy watching you build as much as using what you build, you’ve created a distribution advantage that money can’t easily buy.
