DotMe, India’s rapidly rising creator-tech platform empowering influencers, creators, and digital entrepreneurs, today announced that renowned media personality, music curator, and culture architect, Nikhil Chinapa has joined the company.

The development follows Chinapa’s discovery and early use of DotMe, after which he expressed strong admiration for the product’s potential to redefine how creators engage, monetize, and build communities online. While the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the partnership marks a significant milestone for the homegrown platform.

Widely credited with shaping India’s electronic music movement, Chinapa is the co-founder of Submerge, one of India’s pioneering dance music collectives, and has been instrumental in curating major festivals such as Sunburn and VH1 Supersonic. His deep understanding of youth culture, entertainment, and community-building gives him a unique vantage point in the evolving creator economy.

“DotMe represents what the new India stands for—products built with ambition, clarity, and the ability to scale globally. I believe platforms like these will shape the future of how creators interact with their audiences. I’m excited to join the journey and contribute to taking Indian innovation to the world,” said Nikhil Chinapa, Strategic Advisor, DotMe. 

DotMe has quickly become a favored tool among creators for simplifying and centralizing their digital identity—especially through its beautifully designed link-in-bio ecosystem, which enables users to share content, sell products, manage communities, and track engagement from a single, seamless hub. Its creator-first approach caught Chinapa’s attention, ultimately leading to his deeper involvement.

The company is now expanding its vision beyond individual creators. DotMe is currently developing a B2B suite for agencies and brands, enabling them to manage creators, campaigns, and analytics through a unified dashboard—further strengthening the platform’s role in the broader digital ecosystem.

Commenting on the strategic addition, Harsh Vijaykumar, co-founder, DotMe stated, “Nikhil brings unmatched experience from the entertainment, digital culture, and creator spaces. His belief in building for the world from India aligns deeply with DotMe’s mission. His presence as a Director strengthens our vision and pushes us to innovate even faster.”

Chinapa’s entry comes at a time when the creator economy is witnessing unprecedented global momentum. According to industry estimates, the global creator economy market is projected to grow from $127.65 billion in 2023 to $528.39 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 22.5%. In India, the digital content creation market alone is expected to reach $4.40 billion by 2030, driven by a rapidly expanding community of creators. Recent research also indicates that Indian creators already influence over $350 billion in consumer spending annually, underlining the growing convergence of content and commerce.

With this partnership and its upcoming B2B capabilities, DotMe is strengthening its platform to support both creators and enterprises with scalable, data-driven tools for discovery, engagement, and growth.

With this collaboration, DotMe reinforces its commitment to building world-class technology—from India, for the world.
