Best Indian Bloggers and Popular Blogs that You Must Follow in 2024

The aim of this article is to recognize and acknowledge the most inspiring Indian bloggers and publishers for aspiring bloggers. As a blogger myself, I look up to these names for inspiration and competition for the right reasons.

Although I have compiled a list of the most influential individuals in the Indian blogging industry, the ranking and positioning of these esteemed bloggers, including the number one blogger in India, can be debated.

But overall, for anyone aspiring to pursue a career in blogging (and digital marketing), this compilation of top Indian bloggers serves as a benchmark.

As of now, I am targeting the 30 best Indian bloggers, their work and their popular blogs. With time I will be adding more names to the list.

If you know someone who deserves to be on the list, please feel free to send me a message. If you are looking to start a blog of your own, check out my guide to start a new blog.

Without further ado, let's see who is listed as the best Indian bloggers here.

Yet Another List of Top Indian Bloggers?

Yes and no.

Every other list of best or top or whatever Indian bloggers you see is actually the list of top blogs and not of the best bloggers.

Blogs are important, but what these bloggers are doing out of their writer's block is even more important. Newcomers get inspired mostly by how their inspirations are doing. What are their earnings, and how much traffic are they getting?

Anyone can start a blog now when there are plenty of tools and all are available. People like Harsh, Amit, Anil and I — are on the list because we started when it was all deserts and jungles.

Everyone has their own story, and my purpose is not to dive into that (for now, at least).

All I wanted was to create a list of bloggers that really deserved to be on this list.

Is this list for me?

Yes. If you wish to start as a blogger or are looking for some inspiration from the top bloggers around you, then this list of the best Indian bloggers is made just for you.

Feel free to be inspired by the blogging genius of these people. I have done my best to ensure transparency. Plus, this list is entirely open to all.

If you know a blogger who is worth being listed here, please ask them to drop a message here. I respond to each and every email.

Please note that this list is only representative, and the order in which the Indian bloggers are listed doesn't represent their ranks.

How did I make this list?

First of all, it is all about bloggers and not blogs. Blogs teach you but cannot motivate you enough. This is a list of bloggers made for bloggers by just another blogger.

I have focused on the personal achievements of the top Indian bloggers. I have also given weightage to some stats like their complete reach, website traffic, domain authority, domain rating, social media influence, and the quality of content they deliver.

Criteria for being the best bloggers in India

Only bloggers who passed the following conditions made it to the list:

  1. They are professionals. They are serious professionals. But on the one hand, they make money from their work while on the other they help others grow with honest opinions.
  2. They don't overpromote products. They follow the famous 90-10 rule. The top Indian bloggers on the list provide more than 90 percent of valuable content that informs their readers, and then 10 percent of their content promotes some products or services. So, for every nine blogs they write providing value, they can write one blog post plugging their products or some businesses.
  3. They take responsibility for their own words. 
  4. They use good grammar. Using proper punctuation and good grammar makes a big difference in how your customers perceive you. Does your blog look professional? Misspelled words and missing punctuation will lead others to believe you don’t care enough about your image and work to put your best foot forward. All bloggers on the list focus heavily on the quality of their content.
  5. They respond to comments on their blogs. When someone speaks to you in real life, you respond, right? They do this.
  6. They give credit where credit is due. It’s the height of rudeness and bad manners to plagiarize someone’s words or steal their graphics without permission. If you see something you want to borrow, ask the original creator for permission to use their stuff and make sure you include a source link. Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you, right? Our choice of the best bloggers in India believes in giving credit where that is due.

FAQs

Who are the best Indian bloggers?

There are many talented bloggers in India, and it is difficult to determine the best ones, as it largely depends on personal taste and interests. Some popular Indian bloggers include Amit Agarwal of Digital Inspiration, Harsh Agrawal of ShoutMeLoud, and Anil Agarwal of BloggersPassion.

How do I find Indian blogs to follow?

One option is to use a search engine and search for specific topics or interests, such as "Indian education blogs" or "Indian finance blogs." You can also find most Indian bloggers on social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, as they often share links to their blog posts and updates about their work.

How do Indian bloggers make money?

There are several ways that Indian famous bloggers can make money, including advertising, affiliate marketing, sponsored content, product sales, services and online courses.

What are the problems with this list?

While this Indian bloggers list is not exhaustive, you may find several discrepancies here. There are only a couple of female bloggers, mostly Indian male bloggers. Plus the biasedness is towards digital marketing and tech bloggers. This was bound to happen as only these are the ones that justify my criteria.

Who is the no. 1 blogger in India?

At the moment, this question is doubted. There used to be an era of Harsh, Anil and others, but currently, there is no-distinct winner. You might say Gaurav Tiwari is the best Indian blogger right now. ;)
