Here's a look at those who won awards for content creation in the digital space:

1. Malini Agarwal- This popular blogger needs no description. Malini, who also won the award for Best Website, started a Bollywood, fashion and lifestyle blog 'Miss Malini' in 2008, and was one of India's first celebrity bloggers. According to SimilarWeb, the website receives over 3 million users per month. The blog covers all the latest Bollywood news, interviews with celebrities and all the glamorous parties! "We’re your best friend, and we’re never too tired to go out," the website boasts.

Salwan started the site in 2012, while she was working at BBC. She says that as a young adult, she found it difficult to find out about cool stuff that was happening in her city, which is why she decided to fill the information gap by starting LBB.

3.  Ruchita Dar Shah- Founder of First Mom's Club, Ruchita won the award for Best Community. Ruchita started out by creating a Facebook group for moms to connect with each other. The response was so overwhelming that the community soon grew into a full-fledged website and app.

Her blog is a real treat.
