"In 2021, gaming levelled up emerging as a rich and diverse ground for storytelling and community building .. In fact, a 5 hour long gaming livestream of the FreeFire World Series Final in 2021, became one of the most popular videos in India this year," said YouTube India in a statement.

"Comedy got new laughs. While Round2Hell's 40-minute long horror-comedy zombie apocalypse short film became the #1 trending video, comedy did just as well in short-form video," said YouTube India.

While top Shorts creators like A2 Motivation (Arvind Arora) and Mr. Gyani Facts shared facts and knowledge in byte-sized videos, Crazy XYZ and MR. INDIAN HACKER fused the goodness of science and technology with entertainment as 'Science and Experiments' emerged as a new genre.

"Some of the most popular Shorts creators in 2021 went beyond the well-understood techniques of editing videos to music and transitions, and have given rise to new and innovative formats of short-form storytelling across themes including family and friendships, language skills, motivation and men's grooming content and social messages," YouTube India added.
