In December 2022, YouTube stated that its creative ecosystem contributed over Rs 10,000 crore to the Indian GDP in 2021 and supported the equivalent of 7,50,000 full-time jobs in the country, citing an Oxford Economics report. "Creators and artists are the heart of YouTube, and I’ll continue to put them first", Mohan said, claiming that YouTube’s creative ecosystem supported more than two million jobs in 2021 in India, Brazil, Canada, the United States, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, France, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Turkey combined, citing research by the consulting firm Oxford Economics. She was among Google's earliest employees and has been with the parent company Alphabet for nearly 25 years. Mohan's remarks come nearly a fortnight after taking over as the head of the Google-owned video sharing platform from Susan Wojcicki who stepped down after serving as YouTube CEO for nine years. The firm also previewed generative AI features in its search engine that can summarise information from the web.

Last month, Google unveiled its ChatGPT competitor called Bard that is expected to be available publicly in the coming weeks.
