Minati has been the face of the Indian gaming community and was one of the first few youtubers to start gaming online. Carry also live streamed from India’s first ever India Pavilion by WinZO & IGDC at Game Developer Conference (GDC), San Francisco this year.
The video gives a fun shout-out to WinZO’s gaming features, with CarryMinati humorously highlighting how the platform lets users engage in real-time banter with their opponents via audio chat, adding a layer of playful competition to the gaming experience.
With this collaboration, WinZO continues its mission of supporting and empowering content creators across India. The platform has already collaborated with over 75,000 creators, providing opportunities to monetise the subscriber base, contributing to democratization of digital entrepreneurship in India. About 70% of WinZO’s creators hail from Tier II and smaller cities, making the platform an inclusive hub for creators nationwide.
WinZO’s rapid growth—boasting 200 million user base—can be attributed to its innovative partnerships and focus on nurturing talent.
