As 2024 wraps up, YouTube has unveiled its year-end trends, offering a window into the moments, creators, and events that captivated audiences across India. From cricketing showdowns to viral music tracks, the platform once again reflected the nation’s pulse, where billions of views transformed fleeting topics into lasting cultural highlights. The year’s biggest digital trends featured an eclectic mix of events and personalities. Dominating the conversation were global sporting spectacles like the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the Indian Premier League, and the Paris 2024 Olympics. These events amassed billions of views, cementing cricket and sports as evergreen passions for Indian audiences. Cultural moments also had their share of the spotlight. The Ambani wedding, a topic of unmatched intrigue, garnered over 6.5 billion views on videos that included “Ambani” and “Wedding” in their titles. Meanwhile, phrases like “moye moye” became internet sensations, accumulating 4.5 billion views. Iconic figures like Diljit Dosanjh and Ratan Tata inspired millions, with Dosanjh’s name linked to videos generating nearly 4 billion views. YouTube’s end-of-year report also shed light on India’s top content creators, whose innovative storytelling captured audiences worldwide. While global powerhouse MrBeast led the charge with 332 million subscribers, homegrown creators like Filmy Suraj Actor (32.5M) and Sujal Thakral (33.5M) proved the power of local content. Others such as Cristiano, Box of Vengeance, and the Stokes Twins further added to the platform’s diverse creator ecosystem. Indian creators made waves on Shorts, with hyperlocal music in languages like Marathi and Garhwali crossing borders to reach global audiences. Priyal Kukreja championed women’s voices, while creators turned memes, cricket moments, and celebrity weddings into engaging, bite-sized stories that resonated deeply with fans. Music continued to play a pivotal role in shaping YouTube trends. Songs like “Kurchi Madathapetti” by Sahithi Chaganti and Sri Krishna, “Jale 2” by Shiva Chaudhary, and “Aaj Ki Raat” by Madhubanti Bagchi and Divya Kumar defined 2024’s soundtrack. On YouTube Shorts, hits such as “Dhana” by Priyanka Meher and Rongpaz and “Tauba Tauba” by Karan Aujla kept audiences grooving. These tracks not only became fan favourites but also helped drive the platform’s engagement, with users creating endless remixes, dance challenges, and covers that extended the lifespan of each hit. One of the most striking trends of 2024 was the rise of active fan participation. Viewers weren’t just consuming content—they were shaping it. From cricket memes and music edits to reactions to celebrity weddings, fans co-created content that amplified the original stories, making them even more impactful.

Hotstar goes down while India takes on Australia – Netizens fume as they miss the match

<ul><li><keyword id="1795966" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="calyampudi-radhakrishna-rao" source="Orion">Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao</keyword> was born on September 10, 1920 into a Telugu-speaking family in the erstwhile Madras Presidency. </li><li>Two years before India got its independence, he published a paper with three results that aided scientific research for decades after. </li><li>From data science to <keyword id="274992" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="higgs-boson" source="Orion">Higgs Boson</keyword> – many large scientific experiments use his work. </li></ul>Where is statistics used? The answer to this broad question lies in the life and works of Dr CR Rao, who will soon be presented with the International Prize in Statistics, which is the Nobel Prize of the statistics field. The 102-year-old Indian-American scientist’s work in statistics now propels the field of science — right from data analytics to analysing data from Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful accelerator that found the elusive God particle or the Higgs Boson a decade ago. In fact when a cardiologist had a problem constructing the shape of the human left ventricle from a pair of X-ray projection images taken from two perpendicular camera sets — it led to his extensive work on shape analysis. When he was at Cambridge University, he was presented with <a href="https://theprint.in/india/legendary-statistician-cr-rao-credited-with-restructuring-field-of-statistics-turns-100/499800/">the Jebel Moya problem</a>. Skeletons from an ancient grave in Africa were brought back to the university and Rao analysed their measurements to determine their lives and relationship with neighbours. That’s when he introduced the concept of quadratic entropy, a general measure of diversity or non-homogeneity in a population. For decades, his papers and works have helped scientists estimate results of experiments starting right from basic sciences like physics, chemistry and biology to artificial intelligence (AI), radar systems and many more that are to come. Early life of the man who became a legend Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao was born on September 10, 1920 into a Telugu-speaking family in Huvvina Hadagalli. The town then belonged to the erstwhile Madras province, and is now in Karnataka. His father was a police inspector and his mother a homemaker. After completing his high school education in Visakhapatnam, he obtained his Master’s Degree in Mathematics from Andhra University in 1940. Later, he joined a master’s programme at the Calcutta University in statistics which was newly instituted. Needless to say, he received the <a href="http://library.isical.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10263/5522/2/C%20R%20Rao%20biography.pdf">highest rank possible </a>and a gold medal too. Two years before India got its independence, he published a paper where he demonstrated <a href="https://www.dnaindia.com/science/report-who-is-cr-rao-102-year-old-mathematician-awarded-nobel-prize-of-statistics-for-75-year-old-work-3035524">three fundamental results</a> — Cramer-Rao lower bound, the Rao-Blackwell Theorem; and introduced differential geometric methods in statistical estimation. His third result formed the basis for a new interdisciplinary field - ‘information geometry’. He went to Cambridge for a project and came back to work at the Indian Statistical Institute in the late 1940s. At the institute, he rose to the ranks of a director and quit in 1976. In 1978, he moved to the US as a university professor after retiring, and continues to the professor emeritus of statistics at Penn State. So, to answer the question posed at the start of this piece – thanks in large part to the efforts of Rao, statistics is used in everything from computer science, quantum physics, linguistics and sociology to economics.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Federal data indicates wind-turbine technician is the fastest-growing job in the US.</li><li>The US and other countries are building more wind farms to tackle the climate crisis.</li></ul>Dakota Carter was in middle school when a new wind farm went up near his hometown of Delavan, Illinois.He was fascinated by the project's turbines, which can churn out enough power for 35,000 homes."I've always been passionate about the environment," Carter said. "So I thought a career in wind could actually make a difference."Now Carter, 29, is the operations site supervisor at that project, known as the Rail Splitter Wind Farm, owned by EDP Renewables North America. He started as an intern in 2017 before becoming a wind technician and then advancing over the past seven years.<div type="image" title="Dakota Carter's headshot" height="3000" width="2002" msid="111240018" hostid="261"></div>Carter entered the field at the right time. Federal data indicates <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/fastest-growing.htm">wind-turbine technician is the fastest-growing job</a> in the US, alongside nurse practitioner. While the absolute number of new jobs isn't that big, it represents a projected 45% increase between 2022 and 2032, more than any other occupation.The jobs website Indeed said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-jobs-career-grow-pay-well-high-salary-2024">postings for wind-turbine technicians grew by 30% in 2023</a>, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects about 1,800 openings each year over the next decade. <a target="_blank" href="https://gwec.net/global-wind-workforce-outlook-2023-2027-pr/">Industry groups have forecast</a> demand for about 240,000 new recruits by 2027 across Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, India, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, and the US.These countries want to build onshore and offshore wind farms rapidly so they can meet renewable-energy targets and mitigate the climate crisis. The International Energy Agency estimates that for the world to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050, about 17% more wind capacity must be added to power grids every year. The US is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61242">expected to add 11% capacity</a> from 2023 to 2025.<div type="image" title="Rail Splitter Wind Farm" height="1663" width="2500" msid="111240021" hostid="261"></div>The UK has long been a leader in wind but was recently surpassed by China, which accounted for half of all the new wind capacity added around the world in 2022. The US is further behind, but the industry got a boost from the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. The law authorized generous tax breaks for renewable-energy projects and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-administration-wants-boost-clean-energy-pay-through-tax-credits-2024-6">companies that pay their workers well</a>.In the US, the jobs are mostly onshore, in states like Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, and Colorado. The first large-scale offshore projects recently opened up off the coasts of New York and Massachusetts.<h2 id="17c8bcca-ed0f-4063-a0e8-917012b885ee">Last year the median pay for a wind-turbine technician was $61,770, but listings on Indeed averaged $80,100</h2>Harry Willats, an executive consultant at Darwin Recruitment who specializes in the wind sector, told Business Insider that the starting wage for a wind technician was typically $20 to $25 an hour. More-experienced technicians with specialized training could earn nearly $50 an hour. Offshore wind technicians can expect to earn an extra 30% to 40% compared to onshore workers. There are a lot of overtime opportunities as well. As technicians move into supervisor positions, they might get an annual salary.Federal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenance-and-repair/wind-turbine-technicians.htm">data indicates</a> the average hourly wage for the position in the US in 2023 was nearly $30 an hour, or $61,770 a year. But listings on Indeed averaged $80,100 a year.Willats said there are several pathways into the industry. Typically, people finish a one-year electrical certificate program at a technical or community college and then get hired as apprentices. Those interested in offshore wind need to complete Global Wind Organization courses in basic safety, first aid, and sea survival.There's a lot of on-the-job training. Wind technicians in the early stages of their careers might do scheduled maintenance and cleaning. As they advance, their jobs involve more troubleshooting and repairing, as well as managing crews. Willats said the highest-paid technicians tend to have specialized equipment certificates, such as those from Siemens Gamesa and GE.Carter earned a bachelor's degree in business management at Robert Morris University in Illinois. He realized he didn't want a desk job, so he returned to a local community college for a one-year sustainable-energy certificate program focused on solar, wind, and building systems before joining EDP Renewables.<h2 id="8e6fc2e3-c71a-47ee-8aa5-44702f8cb77e">Exposed to the elements</h2>"The biggest con is pretty obvious: the weather," Carter said. "You're working in the heat or the cold, and you're high up in the air. That can be pretty brutal. It's also a very physical job."But Carter said that working in renewable energy made him feel like he was leaving the world a better place. He also has work-life balance at Rail Splitter Wind Farm. EDP owns, operates, and repairs the site, meaning Carter doesn't have to spend time away from home. Technicians who work for a company that operates a lot of wind farms may have to travel from site to site for long stretches.Now that Carter is a supervisor, he spends more time talking with developers and people in the community about new projects the company is considering.
