With a population of approximately 1.3 billion, India's influencer game is a competition like no other. And why wouldn't it be when there are around 155 million Instagram users in the country? Just imagine all the love and support that they get! Here are seven influencers for your consideration.

Namrata Purohit @namratapurohit: 305,000 followers

 

An author (The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Being Fit), the youngest Stott Pilates instructor (at 16), Namrata's clients include beauty queens and celebrities. Not everyone can make such claims at the tender age of 26, but hey, not everyone is born to stand out.

Who are South Korea’s top influencers – and why should you follow them?

Ishna Batra @mammaslifestyle: 42,000 followers

 

Enjoy watching the mama life from Ishna's point of view. She seems to flawlessly do everything – from working out with her husband to baking with her daughter, monkeying around with her son to arriving on red carpets looking like a true fashionista. Who says mamas can't do and have it all?

Sarah Modak @sarahmodakart: 1,722 followers

 

Girls can indeed do anything. Sarah's art cannot be described by only using one adjective – hers can be colourful, can be a political caricature, can even be couture, portrait – name it and she can probably draw it and put her twist to it.

Who are Singapore’s top influencers and why should we follow them?

Archana's Kitchen @archanaskitchen: 313,000 followers

 

Food will always be a thing. For as long as we are alive, we are bound to consume food. And sometimes, when we are bored with cooking and eating the same thing, we crave something new. In comes Archana's Kitchen, where she offers live cooking classes. Just imagine a ton of ways how to make masala.

Santoshi Shetty @santoshishetty: 703,000 followers

 

Make-up artist, wild child nature lover, boho chic, and everything in between – it's hard to put Santoshi in a box labelled lifestyle influencer. She is much more than that. She isn't afraid to dress down, dress up, or walk the ramp. Her travel photos also show how she does things candidly, which is always a great thing.

Karron S Dhinggra @theformaledit: 231,000 followers

 

If you can look good in a black tank top matched with a ripped pair of jeans, then let us say no more. This fashion blogger is a lawyer to boot, his partner in crime is his dog and he also makes funny skits and fitness videos from time to time.

What are China’s top KOLs posting about during lockdown?

Natasha Noel @natashanoel001: 251,000 followers

 

Two words: body positivity. To understand the inner workings of Natasha, you have to also accept who you are, no compromises. She recently shared a video of her going bald. Yes, she shaved her hair. She is the kind of person that you'd want to follow if you want true-to-life photos and videos, no edits, no make-up, just her natural beauty appearing on her feed. It's probably time we all do it anyway.
