Rahul Shivshankar engagement report
@RShivshankar - 321K followers on X
Measured over 36 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 4, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 321K followers, an engagement rate of 0.51%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 87% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 48K times each, and 3.43% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 81% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 7.6x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Rahul Shivshankar's engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 80% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.51%, Rahul Shivshankar sits above the 75th percentile of the 66,258 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.499% to 2.09%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 81% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 81% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 488 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

THE SCHOOL DIPKE, CJP SKIPPED BECAUSE IT WASN'T IN A BJP / NDA RULED STATE. DILAPIDATED CLASSROOM. CEILING COLLAPSE. CHILDREN INJURED IN KARNATAKA. Six students were seriously injured after a portion of the ceiling collapsed during class at a government school in Mugalolli, Karnataka’s Bagalkote. Concrete fell onto the students’ benches. Iron rods were reportedly visible through the damaged ceiling, with the classroom already in a poor condition. Parents have alleged official negligence. Bagalkote DDPI Sheetharamu has ordered an inquiry, saying disciplinary action will follow if classes were held in a dilapidated room despite funds being available for repairs. WHY WERE CHILDREN IN CLASSROM WITH VISIBLE DAMAGE TO ROOF?

WHAT WE LACKED IN OP SINDOOR WE HAVE NOW! INDIA FINALLY GETS ITS ‘PERSISTENT EYE’ IN SPACE. A first-of-its-kind imaging satellite for India, EOS-05 gives the country a capability it could have had as early as 2021, but for the EOS-03 launch failure. During Operation Sindoor, India demonstrated the value of precision, real-time intelligence and multi-domain awareness. This satellite adds another layer through "persistent" observation of large areas, rather than waiting for a low-orbit satellite to pass overhead.

A PROUD MILITARY MAN FORCED BY ALLEGED STATE APATHY TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE. How does a Republic that asks its soldiers to fight for the nation allow one of them to spend 24 years fighting for what he says is his rightful due? This is the story of NK Shivananda Reddy, a medically discharged Army veteran who was injured during the Kargil era, allegedly attempted suicide on August 29 after years of pursuing land and other military entitlements in Karnataka’s Chikkaballapur. In 2022, Reddy had approached the Lokayukta over an alleged ₹10 lakh demand to process his land allotment. Three people, including two government employees, were arrested. Years later, he alleges that officials showed him unsuitable land, ignored repeated representations and failed to resolve his entitlement. Now he is in hospital after consuming poison.

- Its engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
