I wanted to be financially independent so that I could fulfill some of my dreams and ambitions. I have loved traveling since childhood and wanted to explore the world. I came to know about Uplive 6 months back, and it has completely transformed my life. Not only am I earning, but I also have been able to connect with like-minded people who share my wanderlust,” said Amir Ahmad, one of the popular live streamers from Lucknow, India.

I have a very social personality, and it gives me so much joy to interact with people and friends. I’ve managed to build a community on the Uplive platform, which appreciates and supports me and my work. I want to encourage other people, especially women, to join Uplive to uplift their personality and confidence and, on top of that, take a step towards financial independence too.”
