India’s travel storytellers shine at the Power Creator Awards 2025: Travel Edition

Building on the tremendous success of its previous editions, Times Entertainment once again takes the spotlight with the Power Creator Awards 2025: Travel Edition, hosted today at the Eros Hotel, New Delhi. The event celebrates the spirit of adventure and creativity, uniting some of the most inspiring names from India’s vibrant travel and digital storytelling community.This year’s Travel Edition highlights the remarkable diversity of travel creators — from photographers and solo backpackers to spiritual voyagers and wildlife chroniclers. Each category honours outstanding talent through two distinctions: Jury Choice and Popular Choice, recognising both creative excellence and audience love.During an engaging conversation about travelling with pets, Divya Dugar was honoured with the Best Pet-friendly Travel Content (Special Recognition) award for her efforts in promoting responsible and inclusive travel with animals — a niche yet rapidly growing segment in India. She shared with pride how she has journeyed with her pets on trains, hitchhiked through Uttarakhand, embarked on countless road trips, and even travelled to Paris together.Receiving the Best Solo Traveller – Female (Jury) award, Saraswathi N Iyer spoke about her unique experiences on the road, where she mostly hitchhiked and found that nearly 98% of the people who stopped to help were men. Reflecting on these encounters and the insights she gained into their mindset, she remarked with a touch of humour, “After so much focus on women’s empowerment, I think men, too, need a little empowerment.”Receiving the Best Heritage Walk Content (Special Recognition) award, Sachin Bansal reflected on the deeper impact of travel creators in shaping how people experience India. “When we say , you are the heroes,” he shared. “Because of the content you create, people are inspired to travel, to explore. Words like , , and define travel today — and all the digital stories being shared translate into jobs, tourism, and a stronger travel economy. They open up new ways of seeing India.” When asked to name one hidden gem in Delhi that every traveller should experience, Bansal chose Feroz Shah Kotla, describing it as “a place that offers an entirely different vibe altogether.”With stories that spark wanderlust and celebrate resilience, the Power Creator Awards 2025: Travel Edition pays tribute to India’s modern-day explorers — creators who transform every journey into a story worth telling.For more details, click here.
