Offering the best of both worlds, STAN Creator Fest 2023 is aimed at uplifting and providing ample support and encouragement for India’s micro and budding creators, while fostering an environment conducive to networking, meet-and-greet, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing across the intersections of the gaming and content creation spaces.

What sets this event apart is its unique support for India’s micro-creators, providing a rare avenue for them to learn from and interact with the top industry creators, potentially paving the way for their future collaborations and growth. In the long run, we want to establish STAN as a pivotal player and thought leader within the ever-evolving gaming and content creation landscape. By facilitating a recurring event that becomes a landmark in the industry, we aim to solidify our position as an enabling force that continuously supports and nurtures the nation’s creators. The Creator Fest 2023 serves as an initial-yet-significant step towards shaping our broader vision, and we are now looking forward to experiencing it to the fullest.”

Of course, the underlying objective of this endeavor is fostering a vibrant community of creators in India, including both established and aspiring ones, and thus bolstering the creator ecosystem at large.”
