Engagement
A typical post picks up 98 interactions against 619K followers, an engagement rate of 0.016%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 10K times each, and 0.967% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.64% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 38x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #brics, #brics2026, #inpics.

Compared with accounts its own size
Amitabh Kant's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 46% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.016%, Amitabh Kant sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,270 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 03:00 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 | 74% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 22% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 74% 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.
- 22% 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 634 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.

Happy birthday, Dad. We miss you every single day. Celebrating you is difficult because of how heartbreaking life has been without you and the balance you brought within all of us. But we remember you in all we do, be it work, meals, travels and the choices we make. You're not here, yet you're in all we do. @arunjaitley @JaitleySangeeta @MeherunissaA @sonalijaitley

Inspirational PM @narendramodi at IIT Delhi: "Your parents had their firsts. Your generation has a new list." IIT has a syllabus. Life doesn’t. First in my bloodline! Build the rocket. Build the chip. Build the drone. Build the startup. This is India’s century - and it’s being built by young Indians. Create firsts that the next generation will be proud of. 🇮🇳 #IITDelhiConvocation2026

Even NYT acknowledges it. When US turned volatile with 50% tariffs, PM @narendramodi didn't react — he responded. 20+ nations in a year. Trade deals with Europe and UK Submarine tech from Germany, student visas from France, increased exports. Not dependent, not defiant — strategically diversified. This is mature, multi aligned Indian diplomacy. Strategic autonomy in action. @DrSJaishankar https://t.co/I8F8nCRsxu

India’s economy has once again demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience. Real GDP grew 7.8% in Q1 FY27, ahead of expectations and higher than the 6.9% recorded in Q1 last year. The expansion is broad-based: manufacturing grew 9.2% and the services sector 10%. Investment has also strengthened significantly, rising to 34.3% of GDP from 31.4% in Q1 last year. These numbers emphatically put to rest fears that the Iran war shock and heightened global uncertainty would sharply weaken India’s growth momentum. On the contrary, they underline the depth of India’s macroeconomic resilience, strong domestic demand and capacity to absorb external shocks. At a time when the global economy is facing geopolitical turbulence, trade fragmentation and uncertainty, India continues to stand out as an oasis of stability and growth. The message is clear: the Indian economy can withstand global shocks, sustain high growth and continue to invest for the future. India remains the fastest-growing major economy in the world. Congrats @PMOIndia @narendramodi @nsitharaman @SmalhotraRBI

I had a rather unusual and deeply touching meeting in #Pilani yesterday. I met Pappu ji, as generations of BITSians know him. His real name is Kamal Kapoor. He has been associated with BITS Pilani since 1975 and runs a small canteen. After spending the first few years at Connaught, he moved to #Skylab in 1979. I went into the meeting thinking he might have come with some request. I was completely wrong. As a conversation starter, I asked him, “You have seen BITS students for more than 50 years. Have they changed?” His answer came immediately. “Sir, nothing has changed. They are still very imandar (honest). They are respectful. They are good students.” He told me that he had once visited another college where students were speaking rather rudely to canteen workers, saying things like “idhar aao, udhar jao.” He said he had never experienced that at BITS. Coming from someone who has probably interacted with more generations of #BITSians than most of us ever will, that meant a lot to me. He does however see a few changes. Earlier, after classes, students would come for chai, samosa, Maggi and long conversations. Now many go back to their rooms and get immersed in laptops and phones. Students also go home much more often during holidays. But his bond with #BITSians was never really about chai or Maggi. In the old days, if a student’s money order from home was delayed, Pappu ji would lend him money. It would be returned when the money arrived. Decades later, those same students invite him to @BITSAA meets in Dubai, Hyderabad, Goa and elsewhere. During the Covid lockdown, alumni called him from all over the world asking if he needed money. “I don’t need anything,” he told them. He never took money from any alumnus. Once, when his father was critically ill, he urgently needed about Rs 15 lakh. He reached out to a few former students. Within hours, they were ready to help. The procedure was eventually not needed, and he returned whatever money he had received. Many alumni still offer to help him. He refuses. “When old students come and hug me, that is enough. I don’t need their money.” That sentence stayed with me. He remembers alumni from the late 1970s onwards. When @RevathiAdvaithi came recently for our Pilani convocation as Chief Guest, he told me proudly that one of the first things she did was come and hug him. Later, instead of going for the official dinner, she and her husband came to his stall and had Maggi. I also asked him, “Do you find students more stressed today?” He looked surprised. “What stress, Sir? They are all happy. They are all nice students.” Towards the end, I asked, “Is there anything the Institute can do for you?” “Nothing, Sir. I am very happy. BITS has given me everything.” I asked him again. The answer was the same. I came away thinking about that for a long time. We spend so much of our lives chasing positions, money, recognition and things we believe will make us happy. Here was a man who seemed to want none of these. For him, happiness was in the relationships he had built over five decades. In students who still remember him after 30 or 40 years. In alumni who travel all the way to Pilani just to meet him. In that hug from an old student. #Pappu ji seemed to have no negativity about anything. Every story had gratitude in it. Every memory was about people. For more than 50 years, he has served generations of BITSians chai, Maggi, samosas and shikanji. In return, they seem to have given him something far more valuable. A very large family. Perhaps that is what BITS Pilani is ultimately about. And perhaps Pappu ji, in his own simple way, reminded me yesterday of something all of us know but often forget. A happy life is ultimately about the relationships we build and the love we leave behind. @bitspilaniindia

India’s tourism potential is immense, but fully realising it will require more than promoting destinations. We need to focus on clean streets, reliable transport, safe public spaces, clear information and welcoming communities, that make places liveable for residents and memorable for visitors. A liveable India will be an Incredible India. Read my article in @htTweets: https://t.co/icH1WCy8SO

Today marks 25 years of Prime Minister @narendramodi’s leadership in public life. I have had the privilege of working with him on Industrial corridors, Make in India, Startup India, NITI Aayog, PLI scheme and as his Sherpa during India’s G20 Presidency. Across these years, I have had the fortune of learning from his big-picture vision, positive outlook, commitment to infrastructure, cutting edge technology, and complete focus on the last person in line, demonstrated by the Aspirational Districts Programme. It has been a remarkable journey of 25 years of transformational leadership.

“Smarter Than the Storm” is my new book. It makes one central argument: climate change is a threat multiplier, amplifying risks across food, energy, conflict, and growth; #AI, if designed and governed responsibly, can act as a force multiplier. The real opportunity lies in AI converging with smarter climate choices- helping us see risks earlier, act quicker, and scale solutions faster. Upgrading the grid, scaling storage, enhancing non fossil generation and modernising transmission through AI are critical. Co-authored with Siddharth Sinha, the book will be officially launched on 24th February in New Delhi. Launch details coming soon. 📕 Excited to share that this new book Smarter Than the Storm, published by @HarperCollinsIN, is now available for pre-order on Amazon: https://t.co/Mm4K5SX47L 🌍 Physical copies will hit bookstores across India in March, followed by an international rollout in April/May.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 98 interactions against 619K followers, an engagement rate of 0.016%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 10K times each, and 0.967% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Amitabh Kant's engagement rate on X?
- Amitabh Kant (@amitabhk87) has an engagement rate of 0.016%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 618,673 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.016%, Amitabh Kant sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,270 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @amitabhk87 have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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.
- When does @amitabhk87 post?
- Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
