Gagan Choudhary | Top 100 | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Gagan: I started in 2011, in comparison to that things have almost totally changed now. The biggest of then is the way content is being consumed.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Gagan: Only an influencer knows how many of his/her followers are fake.

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Gagan: I think I would be teaching kids lessons of morality and life hacks.

Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?

Gagan: I will take a vintage car, a complete tool kit, and a smartphone.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Gagan: I feel so jealous when I see very smart and problem-solving innovations people did a century ago in the Automotive sector. I wish I could contribute to any of those innovations.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Gagan: I was driving in East UP during my Road Safety drive in Jan 2019. A kid with his younger brother and father waiting for me on the highway during the night with a big placard that read “Gagan Bhai Stop Please“. I, fortunately, saw that despite a lot of truck movement on the highway and stopped there. It was very overwhelming.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Gagan: I don’t know. Maybe it is the state where people want to listen to whatever you are saying or they start following your footsteps. Or maybe it is the fact that you have won the trust of your viewers.

Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?

Gagan: Things keep changing, this current form of Influencer marketing will also change. But the fact that humans get influenced by others will keep this sector alive.

Ex: As the current pandemic has seriously impacted the automotive industry, what does the future hold for automobile bloggers?

Gagan: Not just automobiles but this pandemic has impacted almost everyone. And even to this date, we don’t know if there is any end of this. But the Automotive Industry will bounce back. Maybe the kind of content people like around Automobiles will see a shift but that is again something that we see every 5-6 years. Bloggers just need to adapt to the new situations and deliver their best, things will come on track sooner or later.

Siddhi Karwa | Top 100 | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Siddhi: I started with Fashion, to then getting extensively in Travel and now I cannot stop obsessing over Interior Styling. So it’s always a space for self-exploration and if used rightly, there is so much one can discover about themselves than just uploading a pretty feed.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Siddhi: It’s safe to say that I don’t think the audiences know what goes behind one single post they casually scroll through in seconds.

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Siddhi: In a parallel universe, I wanted to be a Diplomat.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Siddhi: The cutest one I think was a girl I met at a club who was there with her friends and she couldn’t stop jumping in excitement for about 30 min and kept screaming my name in the entire club, her friends had to calm her down.

Ex: Social media trolling is seeing an upward rise. Do you think this only increases with the popularity of an Influencer? How does one tackle this situation?

Siddhi: It’s a given that criticism only increases with fame, basically more people exposed to your content, more opinions are thrown at you. Trolling is the worst con of being in this field and it’s only increasing because more people have access to social media every day.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Siddhi: Success for me is Balance between fulfilling your dreams while living a life nothing short of dreams.

Ex: How do you choose the brands that you want to work with?

Siddhi: For me, they first have to fit my area of expertise or interest for me to talk about it. There is nothing worse than promoting a product you have been tone-deaf about.

Ex: What according to you will be the next big trend in the Lifestyle blogging industry?

Siddhi: I really can’t keep up with trends anymore, I want to dig into the archives. I think going back to classics could be/should be a trend.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Ex: Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter. How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

Dixita: When I started in 2015, a lot of negative sentences/comments were on my profile which was specifically related to my body shape like you don’t have a perfect body, style and someone even told me your clothes don’t look expensive. I took it in a positive way that when somebody says you don’t have a perfect style, I have a style that is different from their dictionary-style and that encouraged me to create my own way of styling and that helped me develop my own sense of fashion.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Dixita: Success to me is doing things that I love every day. This may sound simple, but what I love changes over time and having the ability to change what I’m doing to match my passion is true success.

Shanice Shrestha | Lifestyle | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Shanice: There are so many opportunities now, all the newcomers can just start and have so many brands approach them and have a set audience accepting their genre of work, already set by the others who have been here a long time. It wasn’t always like this when I started so that makes me happy. It’s now an established field to set a career in!

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Shanice: I think I would definitely be an interior designer. I just really love to do that. Or an actor.

Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?

Shanice: My camera, my laptop and phone. That has to sort me out. Make memories and build content until you’re back to the areas with a network hahah!

Ex: Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter. How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

Shanice: This part was so difficult to get accustomed to initially. If you ever want to be a blogger, vlogger, social media influencer, the first thing you need to understand is that not everyone’s gonna like you and that’s okay. Hate coming from others never reflects who you are! This is something I tell myself. I have learnt to ignore and sometimes I just give back when people cross their boundaries because I think it’s our responsibility as influencers to make social media a safe place.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Shanice: Well, this meaning has changed so many times upto this stage. To me, now it means to be at a place in life where you want to be, doing something that u love to do and being able to fulfill your dreams through that.

Ex: How do you choose the brands that you want to work with?

Shanice: Strictly on the basis of trial testing and reviews and research on the brand. Remember to be true to your audience! I live by that rule. If some brand is paying you a bomb but you know it’s not something I’m personally ever gonna use or buy with my hard-earned money. I turn it down.

Ex: What according to you will be the next big trend in the Lifestyle blogging industry?

Shanice: Get raw, get personal. Not so much of a trend. But get your audience hooked on to your life and everything around it. It makes you grow and gives you a loyal set of audience. It’s an unseen trend that is yet to be more dominant in the coming years and is going to stay. I promise you!

Mehak Ghai | Top 100 | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

The quality of the content has changed a lot! InflueMehak Ghai (Beauty Influencer)ncers think 10 times before they post a picture on social media. The edit on the picture needs to be perfect, the caption needs to be appropriate to the picture and the feed should be on point.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

It looks like a really easy and fun job to be an influencer. It is a lot of funnn but you don’t know and cannot even imagine the kind of effort you need to put in while creating content. There’s just so much competition now, you have to constantly brainstorm about how to standout!

I always wanted to be an actor and I am an actor now, so I guess I’d just be doing that full time!

A feature or an app that can read your mind & can write what you think in seconds! That would be such a savior!

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

It is always sooooo good to meet people who follow my work! But my favorite has to be when at my first meet and greet, I met a girl and she cried hugging me and told me how much I inspire her. I’ll never forget her.♥️

Ex: Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter. How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

I feel you just gotta be really careful with what you’re putting up and selling your audience. Honestly, I have been really lucky with the audience on my profile, they have been really loving and encouraging. Of course, there’ll always be one or two people who would spread hate but they’re negligible in a crowd of people that love you!

Ex: Social media trolling is seeing an upward rise. Do you think this only increases with the popularity of an Influencer? How does one tackle this situation?

They’re always going to people who will try to bring you down, no matter how good you’re doing. PLEASE, and I cannot stress on this enough, DO NOT let it get to you! Maybe 10% percent people are hating on you but the other 90% love you and appreciate you for inspiring them everyday! Do not get demotivated, you’re doing amazing!

Ex: What does success mean to you?

If you’re happy as a person and proud of your accomplishments, you’re successful!

Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?

A lot of people think that Influencer Marketing is only a trend and it’ll fade away after a point of time. Well, I have been in this market for over 5 years now and I’ve only seen it grow. This space will only grow bigger in years to come!

Ex: When was the first time you bought your dream makeup product and which one was it?

I was really excited about Huda beauty products before they were made available in India. So I went on a crazy shopping spree in Dubai and bought a lot of Huda Beauty makeup products from Sephora.

Ex: What would you tell young girls when it comes to ideals of beauty that our society has set up?

You do you, girl. Please don’t care about what others have to tell you about your fashion sense. You’re the only one who can define your style. You’re beautiful just the way you are, so keep it going!

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Mrunal: It was in 2019 when i bought it from my earned money and it was James Charles Palette
