Rahul Kanwal engagement report
@rahulkanwal - 4.3M followers on X
Measured over 42 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 24, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 74 interactions against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 15% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 14K times each, and 0.546% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.314% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 81% carry an image or video and 40% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.4K interactions, about 46x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ndtvexclusive, #ndtvdefencesummit2026, #ndtvworldsummit.

Compared with accounts its own size
Rahul Kanwal's engagement rate beats 15% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 33% 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 0.002%, Rahul Kanwal sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 03:00 UTC, and Friday 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 | 40% 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.
- 40% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 581 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.

To attack, heckle or abuse field reporters doing their job is condemnable. Protesters do their cause a disservice by targeting journalists reporting live when tempers are running high. The right to protest and the right to report on it are both essential freedoms — neither should come at the cost of intimidation or abuse. Proud of NDTV’s army of reporters, holding firm and telling the story calmly and confidently, undeterred by the noise and abuse around them. In solidarity with the right to report, to protest and to express without fear of vilification or abuse. @ndtv

Meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister @TVKVijayHQ C. Joseph Vijay this morning. As part of my meeting preparation, I watched his magnum opus, Jana Nayagan, last evening at Sathyam Cinemas, Royapettah, Chennai. Watching the audience respond to the film, I found myself wondering: had Jana Nayagan released as originally planned before the Tamil Nadu election, how much bigger might @tvkvijayhq’s victory have been? TVK won 108 seats. Had more voters had the opportunity to watch the film before casting their ballots, would that tally have been even higher? We’ll never know. Counterfactuals are impossible to prove. But they’re often among the most fascinating questions in electoral analysis. #TamilNadu #TVK #JanaNayagan #Elections #Psephology

What really happened inside the Flydubai flight? There were no cameras inside the cockpit. No video recording of those terrifying moments. What we have are accounts of what unfolded on board. The NDTV Micro team has used AI to reconstruct and visualise the sequence of events, piecing together what is known about those crucial moments. Here’s what seems to have happened on board. #NDTVMicro #NDTV #WhenItReallyMatters @ndtv

Three years. Three World Summits. And a world that looks remarkably different each time we meet. It was wonderful to welcome Prime Minister @narendramodi back to the NDTV World Summit for the third consecutive year. The global order is being reshaped. Old certainties are giving way to new realities. And India’s role in this changing landscape is becoming an increasingly important part of the international conversation. The Prime Minister’s address, set against our theme A World Between Orders, offered his perspective on how India sees these changes and the role it aspires to play. For all of us at NDTV, having the Prime Minister join this conversation for a third successive year is something that means a great deal to us. We are grateful to the Prime Minister for making time to be with us once again. His continued presence at the Summit over these three years is something we deeply appreciate. Thank you, Prime Minister, for your time, your thoughts and the warmth and encouragement you have extended to the entire @ndtv team. #NDTVWorldSummit #NarendraModi #NDTV #India #WorldBetweenOrders

On my flight from Delhi to Kathmandu was a group from the Isha Foundation (@ishafoundation), on their way to the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. They were brimming with excitement, looking forward to the journey to Lord Shiva’s abode. Many from that same group were on my flight back from Kathmandu. The excitement of the onward journey had given way to a deep sense of grief and anxiety. They were sombre and shaken by the tragedy that had engulfed fellow pilgrims from Isha. Yet, amid the anguish, there was something remarkable about their resolve. Many spoke of returning — of undertaking the pilgrimage again, undeterred by the tragedy that had just unfolded. My thoughts and prayers are with Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev (@SadhguruJV), the entire Isha Foundation family and all those still waiting anxiously for news of their loved ones as they grapple with this terrible tragedy. May Lord Shiva give them strength. 🙏

Just as it is wrong for protesters to abuse and attack journalists, journalists heckling the leaders of a protest movement is a breach of the very same professional responsibility. Our job as reporters is to listen, ask questions and report on the story — not become active participants in it. Journalists resorting to theatre and abuse during press conferences is plain wrong and unacceptable. Report on the story. Don’t become the story.

“We saw Lord Shiva’s face on the mountain as the water came hurtling towards us.” A group of 60 pilgrims from Tamil Nadu were travelling in three buses on the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. The whereabouts of around 40 travelling in two of those buses remain unknown. The 21 pilgrims in the third bus had a miraculous escape, scrambling to higher ground as the waters rushed down. I met them at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport as they headed home via Delhi to Chennai — counting their blessings, but deeply worried about those still missing. Their extraordinary account of survival. #NepalFloods #NDTV

NDTV 24x7 is now NDTV. But this is about more than a new name or a new look. It is about the journalism we choose to do. The standards we set for ourselves. And earning the trust behind those four letters — every day, with every story. Clarity over chaos. Sense over sensation. Trust over theatrics. Groundwork over guesswork. Substance over spectacle. Reality over rhetoric. Facts over frenzy. Perspective over polarisation. Depth over drama. Grit over gloss. These are not claims of perfection. They are choices we make — and standards you should hold us to. A new NDTV for a new India. NDTV. When It Really Matters. @NDTV #WhenItReallyMatters #NDTV

Fascinating meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister @actorvijay. The @TVKVijayHQ government is saying all the right things on fighting corruption, governance and welfare. The real test is whether that intent can transform the administrative culture and deliver measurable change. The biggest difference from our conversations before the election wasn’t what Vijay said, but how he said it. The uncertainty of a challenger has given way to the assurance of someone entrusted with governing. We also discussed Jana Nayagan. Vijay remains convinced the film was integral to communicating his political vision and spoke of his disappointment that it couldn’t be released before the election as planned. Tamil Nadu’s governance baseline is already high. This government will ultimately be judged by outcomes—and whether the everyday corruption that affects ordinary citizens actually comes down. @tvkvellum #TamilNadu #TVK

- What is Rahul Kanwal's engagement rate on X?
- Rahul Kanwal (@rahulkanwal) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,344,015 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, Rahul Kanwal sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,491 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 @rahulkanwal have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 15% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 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.
- When does @rahulkanwal post?
- Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.5 posts per day across the measured window.
