A night I’ll remember for a long time
Hi, I’m Sorav Jain.
And I just got awarded as the AI Creator of 2025
Honestly, I’ve had many moments this year that made me proud… but this one hit me differently.
Because AI is one of those spaces where people assume the fastest creator wins. The one who posts first. The one who jumps on every trend. The one who looks “most updated”.
But the truth is:
AI doesn’t reward speed.
It rewards clarity, consistency, and context.
And this recognition reinforced what I’ve believed for a long time:
Creators who build systems + thinking frameworks will outlast those chasing virality.
Huge gratitude to NDTV India, Whos that 360, NDTV for the honour: “The Best AI Influencer of 2025.”
What does “AI Creator of 2025” actually mean?
Here’s a simple definition, in my own words:
An AI Creator is someone who doesn’t just use AI tools… they help people think better with AI.
They simplify complexity, build practical systems, and make AI usable for real life, real work, and real results.
That’s the lane I’ve been building in.
Not “tools for the sake of tools”…
But frameworks that make people sharper, faster, and more confident.
The 3 things that actually built this win
1. Clarity: Make people feel smart in 30 seconds
In AI content, attention is expensive. Confusion is deadly.
So I constantly ask myself:
- Can someone understand this in one watch?
- Can they repeat it in one sentence?
- Can they apply it today?
When clarity becomes your brand, people don’t just watch.
They trust.
And it doesn’t end there.
Because my work isn’t only about posting AI content online — it’s about teaching people how to actually use AI in real life.
That’s why I spend a big part of my time educating creators, marketers, founders, and students through:
- My own AI + digital marketing programs
- Workshops and live sessions
- Digital Scholar courses, where we don’t just talk about tools — we build practical workflows people can apply immediately
For me, clarity has a purpose.
If someone watches my content and feels confident enough to try AI the same day, that’s the real win.
Because in 2026, the creators who will grow aren’t the ones who “know AI”…
They’re the ones who can apply it, teach it, and build systems with it.
2. Consistency: Systems beat motivation (every time)
Motivation is a mood. Systems are a machine.
Consistency isn’t about posting daily.
Consistency is about:
- a repeatable content process
- a predictable teaching style
- a familiar structure your audience loves
That’s how you become “the person people go to” for a topic.
3. Context: Same tool, different audience, different outcome
Most creators teach AI like it’s one-size-fits-all.
But context changes everything:
- Who is using the tool?
- What do they want?
- What do they already know?
- What are they scared of?
- What do they need next?
AI content becomes powerful when it’s not generic.
It becomes personal, relevant, and situational.
The deeper lesson: Virality is a spark. Frameworks are a flywheel.
Virality can introduce you.
But frameworks build your reputation.
When you build a thinking framework:
- people save it
- they share it
- they come back for the next part
- they start quoting you
That’s how creators compound.
My 2026 goal (simple, but serious)
In 2026, my goal is clear:
Fuel more minds with AI + digital marketing skills.
Not to impress people with jargon.
But to help creators, entrepreneurs, students, and professionals build real leverage.
Because AI is not replacing humans.
AI is replacing people who refuse to upgrade.
And I want to be part of that upgrade story for as many people as possible.
That night was special for another reason…
I finally met people in real life who I’ve been watching for years on Instagram and YouTube.
And one thing was common in all of them:
They work insanely hard. No shortcuts.
Online, it’s easy to assume success is luck.
Offline, you see the discipline.
The late nights. The reps. The obsession with craft. The consistency.
It was a reminder I needed.
People I met that night…

One-line for this person : Calm confidence, strong presence, and the kind of creator energy that raises the room.

A sharp mind and a sharper work ethic, the future looks solid with creators like this.

Effortless authenticity, great vibe, and genuinely inspiring to meet in person.
A standout moment from the night with Milind Somand
Award nights are not just about trophies, they’re about moments that remind you why you started and whom you meet in this journey.
High standards, high energy, and a creator who clearly respects the craft.

FAQs

An AI Creator simplifies AI for real people. Not just tool demos, but practical frameworks that help others get results using AI in daily work and content.

Stop chasing every trend. Build repeatable teaching formats, show proof, and stay consistent in one clear niche so people remember you for something specific.

Not at all. Tools change fast. Thinking frameworks last longer. If you teach people how to think, you stay relevant even when the tool updates.

Start with one use-case (content, business, editing, productivity). Learn a simple workflow, repeat it daily, and only then expand to more tools.
