Abhishek Bachchan Tops Indian Streaming Academy’s 2025 Streaming & Digital Power List

Mumbai: The Indian Streaming Academy has unveiled its 2025 edition of the Top 100 Streaming and Digital Power List, and leading the list this year is none other than Abhishek Bachchan. The annual list honors the most influential personalities in India’s OTT and digital content space.

By securing the top spot, Abhishek Bachchan has reaffirmed his position as one of the most dynamic and trusted names in the streaming universe. Over the past few years, he has delivered remarkable performances in films like Yuva, Ludo, Bob Biswas, Ghoomer, and Manmarziyaan. His film Dasvi trended at No. 1 on Netflix, while Be Happy dominated Amazon Prime Video’s charts. His recent release I Want to Talk garnered not only critical acclaim but also several awards for his outstanding performance.

And the momentum doesn’t stop there — with the upcoming release of Housefull 5, Abhishek shows no signs of slowing down. The original Bluffmaster is not just delivering stellar performances; he’s redefining the rules of streaming with every new release.

Following Abhishek in the ISA Power List are Aditi Rao Hydari and Aditya Roy Kapur, both praised for their significant contributions to the streaming world. At the fourth spot is YouTube icon Ajey Nagar, popularly known as CarryMinati, who is the highest-ranked non-actor on the list.

Commenting on this prestigious recognition, Vishnu Induri, Founder of the Indian Streaming Academy, said:
“India’s digital storytelling landscape is at its most exciting phase. Creators from every corner of the country are emerging, and their stories are resonating across borders. The Power List celebrates the creative minds shaping the future of entertainment. It’s not just about content — it’s about cultural impact. This list honors those who are rewriting the rules.”

Adding his perspective on the importance of this list in today’s digital era, Raj Nayak, Co-founder of the Indian Streaming Academy, remarked:
“Streaming has democratized storytelling. Today, an idea from a small town can influence global audiences. This Power List recognizes those who don’t follow trends but set them — creators who combine courage with creativity to define the direction of change in the digital age.”

This announcement comes ahead of the second edition of the Nexa Streaming Academy Awards, scheduled to be held on July 5, 2025, at the JIO Convention Centre, Mumbai.
