Top 25 Influencers in Pune (2026)

Pune is known for colleges, IT parks, the automotive industry, and weekend travel into the Sahyadris, and its creators reflect that. Pune has a large student audience. For a product aimed at students or first jobbers, look for creators whose comments come from college accounts and recent graduates.

Treat the ranked list as a shortlist, then narrow it by area: in Pune that usually means Koregaon Park, Kothrud, Viman Nagar, Baner, Hinjewadi and the old Peth areas. Open each profile and check that the comments come from people who live where you sell.

Pune has three audiences close together. Students around Shivajinagar, Deccan and the city's many colleges follow food, fashion and exam content. IT professionals in Hinjewadi, Baner, Kharadi and Magarpatta follow fitness, gadgets and weekend plans. The old Peth areas around Shaniwar Wada keep a strongly Marathi, family audience. The automotive belt in Chakan and Pimpri Chinchwad adds engineers and factory teams who follow cars, bikes and personal finance.

The city's streets give creators easy settings: FC Road and JM Road for students, Tulsi Baug and Laxmi Road for traditional shopping and festive wear, and Koregaon Park for cafes. Misal pav, Puneri snacks and old sweet shops are regular subjects for vegetarian food creators.

Lokmanya Tilak turned Ganeshotsav into a public festival in Pune in the 1890s, and the city's mandals and processions still draw visitors from across Maharashtra for ten days in August or September. Gudi Padwa marks the Marathi new year, and Diwali brings faral, the festive snack platters many Pune food creators make every year.

The monsoon from June to September turns the Sahyadris green, and treks to forts such as Sinhagad and Rajgad, or drives to Lonavala, become weekly content. Admission and exam season, roughly March to July, is the window for education, coaching and student finance brands.
