Across India, changemakers are rewriting the rules of impact — armed with courage, creativity, and conviction. From turning kitchen waste into compost and busting myths on farms, to sparking national conversations on food labels and sexual health, these individuals have built powerful citizen movements from scratch.

What unites them is not their background, but their belief that everyday action — whether through a reel, a workshop, or a volunteer network — can transform lives, cities, and systems.

As part of Optum Presents The Better India Showcase, supported by M3M Foundation — a tribute to the dreamers and doers driving change across nine key areas of impact — we are celebrating changemakers who are using courage, creativity, and conviction to transform lives.

In the Creator for Good category, we spotlight five digital influencers who are harnessing content, storytelling, and creativity to drive awareness and social change — both online and offline.

In just 18 months, his work has not only sparked viral conversations but also led to policy changes in schools, encouraging children to eat healthier.

With over two million followers, Revant’s content has forced food brands to reformulate products and ignited a new wave of public health literacy........
