Even as Nagaland state is witnessing a cultural shift with the rise in digital content creation, there has, however, not been ‘a strategic platform to streamline, reorganize, and professionalize the influencer ecosystem in Nagaland.’
This is an issue that the Nagaland Influencers Summit 2025 aimed to address during the state’s first dedicated influencer and youth creator festival.
Managed and conceptualised by Skills and Co and Synergy group and presented by Bostimanu production from October 18-20 at The Heritage Kohima, the team recognised that, “despite the growing number of digital creators and influencers, there remains a gap in structured support, collaboration opportunities, and skill-building platforms.”
As a strategic movement to professionalize and reorganize the influencer ecosystem in the state, the Team also envisioned to create “a professional, accountable, and future-oriented platform where creativity, youth potential, and digital progress converge.”
They were also very clear that the Nagaland Influencers Summit 2025 is not just about digital influence, but also “about streamlining the influencer market, empowering youth, uplifting society, and driving state development through creativity and digital progress.”
Towards this end, the three-day event saw the coming together of influencers, vloggers, content creators, emerging youth voices across digital and creative platforms, local brands, startups, entrepreneurs, and marketers, aspiring creators and youth interested in digital careers among others, strengthening digital skills, supporting entrepreneurship and positioning Nagaland as a hub of innovation and professional narrative development.
‘When we synergise, we can do many things together’
In its attempt to inspire a generation not only to create but to create with a purpose, the first Nagaland Influencers Summit 2025 also celebrated the spirit of unity and excellence by recognising content creators in different categories.
“It’s about people coming together to celebrate content creators”, Kevitsu Doze, Proprietor, Synergy Group Enterprise related to The Morung Express in the backdrop of a successfully conducted three-day event.
Highlighting that it’s not an individual or one organisation but the collective efforts of the content creators community that contributed to the success of the Summit, he underscored that, “when we synergise, we can do many things together.”
He also maintained that, “as individuals, we have our own limitations but everyone of us came together, everyone contributed and it turned out very well.” Towards this end, he also thanked the sponsors and all the participants while stating optimism that there will be future editions of the Summit.
