Some of them are being acknowledged even on international platforms. The Lokmat Digital Creator Awards are initiated to honour the most popular digital creators and their body of work. Today, social media platforms have become more mainstream as they have brought the creators closer to their audiences and there is instant gratification. Special thanks to our chief guest Aaditya Thackeray for taking time out and being present throughout the evening to hand over the awards. His increasing popularity amongst the youth makes him extremely relatable and one amongst them."
Thackeray, MLA and President of Yuva Sena said, “I think digital media is one of the most important spheres of life today. Digital media influencers have influenced us in our lives to a great extent. Getting these influencers together and appreciating their work under one roof is a commendable work conceptualised by Lokmat media group.
