Kamiya Jain | 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?
Kamiya: I started my journey in the digital space almost 4 years ago and I have to admit that the rules of the game change everyday. Most influencers associate digital with social media but the ban of TikTok is a big example of how we should not rely on social media alone.
Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?
Kamiya: Position yourself as an expert in one specific area that you are truly passionate about. DON’T BE – Jack of all, master of none.
Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)
Kamiya: I was and would probably go back to being a Journalist/News Anchor.
Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?
Kamiya: I will need just one gadget – my mobile phone. He is a smart boy and can fill in for every other gadget that’s missing. But if you insist on three, carrying my laptop and airpods won’t hurt.
Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)
Kamiya: It’s very nice to receive sweet DMs from the online community. But there was one that had me in splits. It said, “Dear Kamiya, Tumhara intezaar karu ya dusri ka intezam karu. Aj tum decide karlo” – (his name) I reshared by stating, “Karle bhai karle, Quarantine tak toh koi chance nahi”
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?
Kamiya: There is this dialogue in the film Guru, “Jab log tumhare khilaaf bolne lage, samjh lo tarakki kar rahe ho” So here’s how popular influencers should feel.
Ex: What does success mean to you?
Kamiya: I would like to say, ‘Success means happiness’ but honestly, it’s just a quote in this practical world. Every time I have set a target for myself benchmarking it as success, the bar only got higher once I got there.
Ex: What are the difficulties that you face when you’re on a solo trip?
Kamiya: While travelling solo, sometimes you may find yourself at a place that’s not 100% safe, that’s when you miss having someone around. Although I am a very safe traveller and don’t experiment if I am doubtful of an area. Other than that, I don’t miss anything or anyone. I quite enjoy my own company.

Barkha Singh | 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?
Barkha: The biggest change that I have seen is the increased demand for value out of content. If content does not have some form of value, it is outright rejected. This was not the case when I started off, it was relatively experimental then.
Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?
Barkha: Analytics and trends on each platform are important to optimise your content. However, the one thing that I have realized over time, is that if your content is not a reflection and/or exaggeration of your true self, then it is not relatable to your audience.
Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)
Barkha: I think my love for animals is well documented. So naturally, I’d be a Forest Ranger or a Wildlife photographer.
Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?
My mobile phone, a solar-powered charger and I’d love to keep a reel camera, so I can document my days.
Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?
Barkha: Time travel.
Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)
Barkha: It feels equally special every single time someone comes up to tell me how I made them smile or feel happy. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.
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?
Barkha: To begin with, I appreciate constructive criticism, but when it’s not constructive, I have trained myself to not get affected by negativity too much.
Ex: What does success mean to you?
Barkha: To me success is that sweet spot when you are what you love, you’re doing it well (by your own and others’ standards) and you are truly happy within.
Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?
Barkha: Content and marketing has always been synonymous with each other. Right from radio, to new-age media; Content has been used as a means to market to viewers. As long as content is consumed regularly, I don’t think this is a fad. In fact, I think we’re just getting started!
Ex: What are the difficulties that you face when you’re on a solo trip?
Barkha: I honestly LOVE travelling alone. In fact I have been travelling alone since 2013, before I even imagined that this could be my work! Solo travelling is responsible for my love for discovering new places, meeting new people and experiencing new things. But yes, creating content is super tough when travelling alone. I know “can you please take my photo” in 23 different languages.

Larissa D’Sa | Travel | 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?
Larissa: When I started posting content on social media, I was 19. Facebook was a much popular platform, and I’d just started posting on Instagram. I’d say a lot has changed in the blogging space, for the best. From posting photos of things you’re passionate about, to getting paid for doing what you love, it’s been a boon to the creative minds.
Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?
Larissa: Social media doesn’t belong to the weak-hearted. With all the fun and frolic, comes great responsibility. As rosy as it looks, creating content also involves days and weeks on planning. Most of us are usually multifaceted by conceptualising, directing, shooting, and editing our content in-house. That’s also the beauty of social media – it’s made me self-reliant, and I’ve learnt and picked different skills to be my own production house.
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?
Larissa: I don’t deal with it. I ignore as much as I can, and simply block away. Although, sometimes it’s also important to call out haters and trollers, because I also feel it’s my responsibility to clear the trash out from the internet .
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?
Larissa: Like I said, with all the fame, comes great responsibility. I personally feel it’s wise to be careful with your statements and words you use. For that, one needs to be aware of all that’s happening around us, and also be sensitive towards various causes.
Ex: What does success mean to you?
Larissa: Completing my to-do list, and sleeping with the satisfaction of spending an ideal day – means success, at least to me. Success can be very subjective, so with that being said, I personally believe that successful days, one after the day, leads to a successful life.
Ex: The first destination you want to travel to post-pandemic & why?
Larissa: I would love to travel abroad, but given the situation, I guess it would be wise to move around in India, and maybe I’m all set to do a trek in the mountains.
