Aditi Rao Hydari, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Carry Minati follow as ISA celebrates India’s most influential digital voices.
The Indian Streaming Academy (ISA), a body dedicated to celebrating excellence across OTT platforms and digital storytelling, has unveiled the 2025 edition of its Top 100 Streaming & Digital Power List. This annual list highlights the most influential actors, creators, showrunners, podcasters, platform leaders, and studio executives in India’s dynamic streaming ecosystem.
Leading the list are three actors: Abhishek Bachchan secures the top spot, followed by Aditi Rao Hydari and Aditya Roy Kapur. Ajey Nagar, popularly known as CarryMinati, is the highest-ranked non-actor, taking fourth place.
Reflecting on the significance of the list, Vishnu Induri, Founder of the Indian Streaming Academy, said:
“India’s digital storytelling landscape is at an exciting inflection point. With creators emerging from every region and stories resonating globally, the Power List celebrates the individuals shaping the future of entertainment. It’s more than content-it’s about cultural influence, and this list honours those rewriting the rules.”
Adding to that, Raj Nayak, Co-founder of ISA, stated:
“Streaming has revolutionised storytelling in ways we’ve never witnessed before. An idea born in a small town can now captivate the world. The Power List recognises those not just following trends but setting them-those bold enough to innovate and lead in the digital age.”
The announcement of the Power List comes ahead of the second edition of the NEXA Streaming Academy Awards, set to take place on July 5, 2025, at the JIO Convention Centre, Mumbai.
