Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?
Mithilesh: So, I am pretty new to the digital blogging space. It has just been 2 years, but I have seen a lot of content creators who are emerging, and that is something really exciting because this is just the start of the whole internet revolution in India. Lots of content creators are emerging from small towns and cities.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)
Mithilesh: This happened in the mall where I was shopping and there was a boy who was next to me talking to his sister about me and I heard the conversation and I waited there to see the reaction and after a few seconds he approached me and that was one of my first encounters and it was very special to me.
Ex: What does success mean to you?
Mithilesh: Definition of success for me keeps changing. Right now the definition of success for me is getting the diamond play button, but that is too materialistic. Overall, I want to be happy and should be able to achieve whatever I am dreamt of.
Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?

3.There is a right time for you to start this. This is for all the kids who are in school and are sad because they are not growing on YouTube.
Ex: What would you say is the biggest challenge for a gaming influencer?
Mithilesh: There is always this constant pressure of not staying relevant anymore just because this space is so crowded right now and there are a lot more gaming creators that are going to emerge. So, it’s a big challenge to remain against the top, to co- exist and stay relevant.
