Indian bloggers and creators make the country proud at the Cannes Film Festival 2019

In between all the glamour and glitz of Bollywood celebrities on the red carpet at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, something that went unnoticed were the big achievements that our bloggers brought home.

The French Riviera saw its first edition of the World Blogger Awards this year, and India shined on! And along side, our beautiful bloggers and creators graced the event with ample associations putting Indian Blogger and Creator community on the global map.

While the paparazzi might have very conveniently missed covering these digi-celebrities amidst the stream of Bollywood while Cannes 2019 was in full swing, they can’t do so now. Why? Well, because firstly, it was amazing to see so many Indian Influencer on the global map of this genre. And secondly, WE WON! More Power to them!

Read on to know more on this and all the influencer that left their mark at Cannes 2019:
