You’re a creator. You’re building your channel maybe in English, maybe in another language and you’re looking for growth, for more eyeballs, more engagement, more revenue. What if I told you that one of the biggest untapped opportunities right now is speaking to India with Hindi-language localisation? Here’s why.
1. The size of the opportunity is huge
India is no small market. Platforms like YouTube are booming here. For example:
- Over 190 million Hindi-speaking users on YouTube globally.
- India’s creator-economy already valued at $2.5 billion in 2025, with projections to double by 2027.
- YouTube India alone paid out ₹21,000 crore (approx. US $2.5 billion+) to creators in recent years.
- The active user base for YouTube in India is expected to grow significantly (by 34.88 % to about 859 million users by 2029).
In short: there are massive audiences in India, many of whom prefer content in Hindi or in their native language.
2. Why Hindi + localisation matters
Even if you already create good content in English, you might be limited by language barrier. Here’s what the data shows:
- Around 34 % of Indian viewers prefer Hindi-dubbed content rather than just rely on original English-language.
- Dubbing (and subtitling or alternative-language tracks) is becoming a key growth lever helping content transcend language walls.
- With fewer creators producing in Hindi compared to the audience size, competition is lower and potential for standout is higher. For instance: India has the largest YouTube audience in the world, and yet the number of creators creating in Hindi is proportionally smaller.
3. YouTube is enabling the change
Platforms themselves are leaning into multilingual support and AI tools that make localisation easier. For example:
- YouTube’s AI-powered auto-dubbing feature (including Hindi) is now available to many more creators.
- Creators who localise can tap into engagement from regional-language users, who often watch longer and engage more deeply.
- Creators in India are being supported by features like shopping-plus-creator tools, brand-tie-ups, helping monetisation beyond just views.
4. What this means for you as a creator
So what if you’re a YouTuber or content creator?
Here are the practical implications:
- Broader reach: By offering Hindi-dubbing or Hindi-language versions, you access tens or hundreds of millions of extra viewers you wouldn’t normally capture.
- Higher engagement: Regional-language audiences often respond differently not just in number but in loyalty, comments, shares.
- Less competition: While English content is saturated, content in Hindi or regional languages remains under-served in many niches.
- Monetisation upside: Although CPMs (cost per thousand views) in India may be lower than some Western markets, the volume and growth potential compensate. And early positioning gives you a leg-up.
- Future-proofing: As YouTube and other platforms invest more in regional languages and AI dubbing, being ahead in Hindi-localisation sets you up well.
5. Common myths (and why they’re wrong)
- Myth: “Indian CPMs are too low so it’s not worth it.”
Reality: Yes, CPMs may be lower now, but you’re buying into volume + growth + engagement. The value isn’t just in immediate CPM but in building a strong audience in a growing market. - Myth: “My English audience is enough; I don’t need Hindi.”
Reality: Serving just the English-speaking world is fine but you’re leaving massive untapped segments on the table. Plus, multi-language content improves your global resilience. - Myth: “Dubbing is expensive or complicated.”
Reality: AI tools and smart workflows are lowering cost and complexity of localisation. Especially for creators, the tech is catching up and making high-quality Hindi dubbing accessible.
