Engagement
A typical post picks up 80 interactions against 4.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 1,003 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 26K times each, and 0.303% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.667% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 34% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.7K interactions, about 71x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #sharpedge, #theprintopinion, #delhi.

Compared with accounts its own size
vir sanghvi's engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 28% 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%, vir sanghvi sits above the 10th percentile of the 9,789 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.006%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 | 34% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 45% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 34% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 45% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% 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 330 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% 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.

I have heard @narendramodi calling @RahulGandhi a "hybrid" calf after mocking Sonia Gandhi as an imported Jersey Cow. Also, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he routinely scoffed Muslims with a Tum Paanch, Tumhare Pacchis jibe. In the past, have also heard him say,his exact words: "me 20 loko no puchyu koi Soniyaben ne clerk ni nokri no aape ane Rahul patawala ni. Aaawa loko ne aapne appdo desh apaay? (asked 20 people. Nobody wanted to make Soniaben even a clerk and Rahul a peon; can we entrust our country to such (unqualified) people?). Those currently demonising "Cockroaches" or Congress or others; where were you during the "Election Commissioner James Lyngdoh meets Sonia Gandhi in Church or when @ShashiTharoor's 50 crore girl friend and other derogatory remarks were made? Or recently when @girirajsinghbjp put up images of a young woman and her son with Rahul Gandhi? For some people, whatever #BJP does is nationalism and when others do it, it is character assassination! @Cockroachbackk @CJP_for_India @Cockroachisback @INCIndia @Yadavakhilesh

Baba Ramdev on Independence day - Chaos is spreading across the country. - Children are complaining that there are no teachers in their schools. - Basic facilities like electricity, water and toilets are missing. - Cheating is rampant in some places, while question papers are being leaked in others. - In government job interviews, corruption runs as high as 99%. - Mend your ways, or the protests will only grow stronger.

Hey @MumbaiPolice , on what grounds was the Stella Bossi gig shutdown at Antisocial yesterday? This is an indoor gig. The venue has all the licenses. There are no sound complaints and the gig was scheduled to end at 9:30pm According to the DJ, cops shut it down because techno music "attracts bad things" By that logic will you shut down religious processions that attract all sorts of criminal elements? Not sure what organizations like @NRAI_India are doing when their members are being harassed like this Cops in India behave like they are above the law and in this case they are behaving like the Taliban religious police...

Is there some government order notifying an 80th independence day? 2026 - 1947 = 79. Why is everyone calling it 80th? It's an anniversary. We've not become independent 80 times. That happened just once in 1947. Today marks 79 years of being independent.

Liberal, progressive Twitter outraged yesterday over a mildly puerile dig at the Indian PM's soft spot for the Prime Minister of Italy. More pearls were clutched over this jibe — which, btw, echoed the reels and memes by students they were defending just last week — than over the revolting spectacle of a casteist "shuddhikaran" rite held by RW outfits to "purify" the Ramlila Ground after Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge held a rally in Haldwani. A word of advice for the Congress? You can be the voice of liberal India, or you can seek the approval of liberal Twitter. The two are not the same.

- What is vir sanghvi's engagement rate on X?
- vir sanghvi (@virsanghvi) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,955,444 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, vir sanghvi sits above the 10th percentile of the 9,789 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 @virsanghvi have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 @virsanghvi post?
- Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.9 posts per day across the measured window.
