Top 10 most subscribed YouTube channels in India 2025: According to a DataReportal report at the beginning of 2025, there are a total of 5.56 billion internet users in the world. YouTube, the world’s leading video streaming platform, has grown as one of the most visited websites.

While the platform thrives on variety, only a handful of creators have climbed to the top, commanding massive subscriber bases and global recognition.

Among them, T-Series, India’s largest music label, leads the pack at home and ranks #2 globally.

Vijay rally stampede
Among dead in Vijay rally stampede, young mother, couple set to marry
Cities1 hr ago

A rally by actor-politician Vijay in Velusamypuram ended tragically with 40 deaths in a stampede. Non-political workers gathered to see the superstar, but exhaustion, heat, and poor planning caused chaos. People collapsed, ambulances couldn't reach, and police presence was inadequate. Vijay's team ignored instructions, and the narrow roads and insufficient crowd control added to the tragedy.
