On April 7, 2026, Zokera launched a creator-led commerce platform in India, linking influencers, brands, and shoppers via performance-driven sales, digital storefronts, and cashback rewards. It has already generated over 3.41 lakh rupees in gross merchandise value and onboarded more than 6,000 users, signaling a shift to trust-based monetization over traditional ads.[1] U.S. creator marketing spending is projected to hit 21.10 billion dollars in 2026, doubling from 2022 levels per EMARKETER's February forecast shared at the Creator Trends 2026 Summit.
