Ted The Stoner | 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?

Ted The Stoner: Though the statement cannot be generalized, there is a lot of responsibility when it comes to posting anything on the internet now. There is a lot of accountability & that is definitely a good thing. On the contrary, with easy access to the internet, there is also a rise in the number of cases of cyberbullying and incessant trolling towards anybody with a different
opinion.

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

Ted The Stoner: I don’t think influencers have any upper hand when it comes to knowing things about anything that is open to all. The only reason an artist/influencer might have an upper hand over someone would be because they would spend more time researching something about social media since it is an important part of their lives.

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

Ted The Stoner: I guess I’d be a farmer with a nice little farm and a couple of animals where I can just grow my own food and not worry about the world.

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

Ted The Stoner: I’ll have a word with Tony Stark and get back to you.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Ted The Stoner: A mind control device that can be used on Mumbai rickshaw drivers who keep rejecting us without even listening to the proposed destination. Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter.

Ex: How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

Ted The Stoner: The best way to deal with vulnerabilities as an influencer is to be honest with your audience about your vulnerability. At times, we underestimate the good in the world. The audience you build on your page is like an extended family. The best way is to let them see you for what you are, who you are instead of faking it just because it seems like a cooler option.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Ted The Stoner: Being happy and helping others be happy.

Ex: Which people or books have had the greatest impact on your growth, and why?

Ted The Stoner: People who have had the greatest impact on my life would be the life of Swami Vivekananda. A lot of good principles to learn.

Ex: What was the thought process behind this journey?

Ted The Stoner: The thought process was very simple. Making people happy and helping them in every possible way. I’m glad and I feel content because I can see that happening everyday.

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?

Tanvi : I still remember when there was no jio internet we bloggers & YouTubers were struggling for views, hardly people used to read a blog or watch videos on the internet because the internet cost was very high but when jio came to market with low-cost internet, it changed the entire digital blogging space completely, so yeah big thanks to jio!

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

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

Tanvi : A fan told me a while ago how my posts and my words helped her come out of her depression and step out of the house after months ! To be able to touch a life that way…makes me so grateful and emotional.

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?

Tanvi : I deal with this by constantly being open and talking about my vulnerabilities! Social Media is in fact the best space to BE YOU. The more you open up to people about your struggles, the more you’re connectable with them .

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Tanvi : To be happy and for more people to know, understand and support my work.

Ex: What was the thought process behind this journey?

Prajakta Koli | Editor’s Choice | 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?

Prajakta: I think the sheer magnanimity of the platform speaks for itself. When I started 5 years ago, we did not see this coming. Nobody knew the digital space would boom like this in every corner of our country. That is the biggest change I have seen. Now there are more consumers and even more creators coming on to the platform everyday.

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

Prajakta: Know what is the best time to post that’ll give you the most engagement. Consistency is key and content is king at the end of the day. Also, engaging with your audience makes all the difference.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Prajakta: An app that deletes your account if you baselessly spew hate at people on the internet.

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

Prajakta: Running into viewers at malls and airports or reading the amazing letters they write to me is by far the best thing about my job. But I remember, a viewer once came up to me at an event to talk about how she gave up on waxing her legs and accepted her body as is after listening to my song ‘SHAMELESS’. That was such an accomplishment!

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Prajakta: Seeing the people that matter to me happy.

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

Prajakta: Influencer marketing is definitely not a fad and is here to stay. Over the years brands have seen the connect influencers have with their audience. The brands are keen on tapping this bond and maximising visibility for their brand. So it is definitely here to stay wherein many brands are actively focussing on influencer marketing over mainstream conventional marketing techniques.

Namrata: Technology that I am really trying to work on is teleportation.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)
Namrata: Honestly I don’t have a favorite as every meet with anyone who knows my work, or follows my journey is extremely special. However, the first time will always hold a special place in my heart! I was at an airport and someone, who seemed really happy to see me came running up to me. She spoke to me about her journey and how my posts have inspired her to transform her life. It felt really great, knowing that I have inspired her in some way and that I am a part of her fitness journey and transformation.

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?
Namrata: Everything has two sides. There is a day and there is night, it is good and it is bad. All I can do is try my best, give my best and share what I truly believe in and I will continue to

Ex: What does success mean to you?
Namrata: Success is tough to define. I think in one way it is the ability to do what you love. This may sound easy but is something that could keep changing. Success is the ability to constantly adapt to that change, to keep moving, and to always be able to do what you love. And to be able to wake up every day loving what one is doing!

Ex: What does a normal working day look like for you?
Namrata: I start my day early and usually workout before my day starts. I then take 8-9 classes in the day, a study in order to gain new knowledge or learn about the latest research, work on The Pilates Studio at the backend and try to wrap work up by 7 pm.

Ex: Best tip for fitness every day?
Namrata: KISSS every day! Keep It Safe Simple and Smart!

Madan Gowri | Break Through Talent | 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?

Madan: When I started 4 years ago, YouTube was just a hobby people had. Now, it has become a profession. In the process, everything from camera to content, everything has been upgraded by multi-folds. There is a lot more clutter too but the evolution has been amazing.

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

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?

Madan: Being part of the meme culture is very important for any creator across the world. It gives a marketing that is worth crores of rupees. Tackling it is simple, blocks toxic people, encourages healthy memes.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Madan: Going to bed realizing that I did something meaningful today. Nothing feels better than adding some kind of positive value to people’s lives.
Tell us something we don’t know about the influencer’s content strategy?
The strategy is that, there is no strategy, we just ride the wave and believe in our content!

Sarah Hussain | 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?

Sarah: I started 4 years ago, where the space of digital marketing was not so solid, and Instagram/YouTube bloggers were just treated with freebies and free lunches. However, no people like me are making it a career choice, people have started recognizing it, brands want their products to be endorsed by bloggers, and it works as a regular creative business.

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

Sarah: I feel social media is one place for expression which gives every creator its chance to express their creativity. If you’re good at something the app can make you a star, you don’t need to be super rich or an influential person, social media recognizes talent faster than any other platform.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Sarah: To make all my videos viral.

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

Sarah: There have been many really, but once a man msged me that he named her daughter Sarah, because he wants her to become like me, I was really touched by it.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Sarah: Success is never a target, for me success is waking up everyday, making content, making my followers happy and having a good night’s sleep. It’s constant. I believe hard work is the way to success.

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

Sarah: I don’t think social media is going anywhere, it’s a super growing field. I see this field getting more popular than movies in the years to come.

Ex: Which is that one dish or cuisine that you haven’t tried yet but are looking forward to?

Sarah: I really want to try authentic Spanish and Andhra Food.

Ex: What do you do to make your content unique from others?

Sarah: Originality and just sheer love for what I do.

Love a personalized SUV? Lamborghini’s Graphite Capsule is for you!

Lamborghini has always been known for offering its customers a chance to personalize their cars. Be it the paint scheme or even the stitching on the seats, there are options for every detail. Now, the Italian supercar manufacturer has introduced the Urus Graphite Capsule, creating distinctive new opportunities for expression in color and trim on the Lamborghini Super SUV.
The four new exterior matt colors are on-trend yet subtle, including the white Bianco Monocerus, black Nero Noctis, and grey Grigio Nimbus and Grigio Keres. The lower parts of the car around the front, rear, and side sills are all finished in the matte body color. Four shiny accent colors are offered, that include orange Arancio Leonis and Arancio Dryope, yellow Giallo Taurus, and green Verde Scandal, picking out the distinctive lines of the Urus on the front splitter, door inserts, and rear spoiler and making a bold statement. The 23” Taigete rims, dedicated to the Graphite Capsule, also sport the accent color while on the rear, the exhaust features a new, dedicated black chrome finish. The Urus Graphite Capsule elevates the potential for customization to a higher level with more than 16 different color combinations to delight even the most demanding customers.

The interior highlights the elegant and stylish persona of the Urus Graphite Capsule, introducing dark, anodized aluminum trim on the dashboard and door panels, with new matt-finish carbon fiber inserts. The exterior accent colors are carried over into the Graphite Capsule Urus’ interior, enriching the upholstery with the contrast color featuring in the central tunnel leather trim, seat bolster inserts, Q-citura stitching, and the embroidered Lamborghini logo on the headrests. The ventilated Alcantara seats are an exclusive option only available on the Urus Graphite Capsule and the recently launched Pearl Capsule.

“The new Graphite Capsule endorses the inimitable versatility of the Lamborghini Urus as the original Super SUV: its color and styling is as adaptable and versatile as its presence in every high-performance and lifestyle environment,” said Automobili Lamborghini Chief Commercial Officer Giovanni Perosino. “The inherent design of the Lamborghini Urus, with the DNA of our super sports heritage, lends itself to virtually limitless potential for personalizing color and trim. The Urus Graphite Capsule is the latest collection to offer our growing clientele the opportunity to stamp their individuality and way of life on their Lamborghini.”
The Urus Graphite Capsule is available on the Urus model year 2021.
