YouTube partners with Flipkart & Myntra to launch the 'Shopping Affiliate Program' in India.

This program helps creators earn by tagging products in videos, Shorts, & live streams.

Viewers can buy tagged products on retailers' sites, and creators earn a commission.

The program is already active in the U.S., South Korea, Thailand, Brazil, and more.

Over 30 billion hours of shopping-related content were watched on YouTube in 2023.

YouTube Shopping's success shows how we connect creators, viewers & brands,” says Travis Katz, VP at YouTube.

This expansion adds to existing features like ad revenue, YouTube Premium & Super Chat.

Flipkart's Ravi Iyer notes it enhances product discovery through creator videos.

More than 110,000 Indian YouTube channels have 100k+ subscribers as of Dec 2023.

65% of Indian consumers trust YouTube creators more than traditional celebrities.
