Frequently asked questions
Who has the highest Instagram followers in India?
Virat Kohli (@virat.kohli), with 273,315,034 followers as read on 2026-08-06 — ahead of Narendra Modi (101.9M) and Shraddha Kapoor (93.3M).
Are these follower counts live?
No — no public list's are. They were read 2026-08-06 from public follower trackers. 78 of 100 are exact integers; the rest are rounded as the source published them. Counts move daily, so neighbouring rows within a few hundred thousand of each other are effectively tied.
Why is an account I expected missing?
The ranking is cut from the 1,765 Indian accounts we track, not from all of Instagram. If a major account is missing from the top 100, it is a gap in our tracking — tell us and it will be added with a cited count.
Is this ranked by influence or quality?
Neither — strictly by follower count, which is a fact. 2 accounts sit above 100M and all of the top 100 above 10M; where an account ranks says nothing about engagement, which no public source publishes reliably.
