Sridhar Vembu engagement report
@svembu - 440K followers on X
Measured over 16 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 24, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 440K followers, an engagement rate of 0.623%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 20,444 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 105K times each, and 2.57% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 23.9% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 31% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sridhar Vembu's engagement rate beats 94% 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 74% 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 0.623%, Sridhar Vembu sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 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 | 31% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 13% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 31% 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.
- 13% 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 818 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.

Modi-ji appoints Nandan Nilekani, who contested the 2014 elections as a Congress Party candidate, because the government respects his experience leading Infosys and Aadhaar and so many other projects. Priyanka-ji attacks IIT Madras Director Prof Kamakoti, under whose leadership IIT Madras has emerged as the top tech institution in India and has spawned a vibrant startup ecosystem. One of them is a classy leader.

I am heading to Japan tomorrow. The agenda is to partner with small to mid-sized companies in small town Japan and bring them to small town and rural India. We want to restore our culture of craftsmanship - Aasaari (ஆசாரி) in Tamil and Vishwakarma (विश्वकर्मा) in Sanskrit - by partnering with smaller Japanese companies that still have those ethos and are present in rural Japan. Japanese are world leaders in areas that require intricate craftsmanship. I am guided by my friend Britto (Britto-san!) originally from Madurai and who spent decades in Japan and understood the culture and companies well. He is the founder of Takumi Motion Controls, and Takumi (匠) also means "craftsman". Britto-san and I bonded over our admiration of Japanese craftsmanship. This has become a mission for us.

Japan was our first office outside India and the US. That was 2001. Yesterday, I visited our office in Yokohama and I'm reminded that we were a small unknown company from Chennai and we chose the hardest market first. Nobody in Japan buys because of a brand or a pitch. They watch how you behave when something breaks, and if you pass that test they stay with you for decades. That patience got into our engineering culture and never left. ありがとうございます 🙏

One of the Zoho group companiee, Vipus Advanced Materials, is focused on carbon fiber composites. A retired ISRO scientist is one of the key people behind it. Vipus has supplied advanced composite components to Skyroot Aerospace. So Skyroot's successful launch feels even more special! Vipus is among the fastest companies to qualify as a HAL Class I supplier, with orders for LCA Tejas aircraft structures, and is working with L&T Precision Engineering Systems. Proud of you Vipus, make Bharat manufacturing great! 🙏

From semiconductor fabs to aerospace, the sheer scale of ambition unleashed in the past decade in India is awe-inspiring. Each step will now lead to a bigger, bolder step. Barriers that once seemed insurmountable are falling. We must also remember: it is all because we elected a leader and a government with the vision and the determination to get it done. Leadership matters. We have a lot more work ahead. We face forces that want to stop our rise. We will prevail. Thank you Modi-ji for inspiring so many of us 🙏

Genuine question, I have rarely seen children of commie leaders turning into ‘Sanghis’, for that matter @asadowaisi’s kids will never turn into woke liberals, but why do so many @BJP4India and even Sangh Swayamsevaks seem to be raising woke, entitled, abusive brats in their homes, who neither respect their parents nor the ideology they espouse? What’s going wrong?

Some facts: about 90% of our revenue comes from outside India, won against tough global competition. About 2% of our revenue is from the government and when we do business with the government, we always save the taxpayer money, which we have the utmost respect for. We are also among the largest tax payers in our region. I have never asked for a favor from the government and I never will. When asked for advice, I provide it and I do it independent of political ideology - the Kerala Startup Mission, when the Left Front government was in power, wanted my advice. I told them Keralam has the potential to be a major R&D hub of India. Since then, we have invested in numerous R&D driven statups in Keralam. In Tamil Nadu, our Chief Minister has made a great new beginning and I am happy to support his effort. It is not because of political ideology but because I want good things to happen in Tamil Nadu. I love our nation, and I speak my mind. I will not bow down to attacks nor threats. The attacks make us stronger and help us achieve greater success.
