Most Viral Celebrity Campaigns on Instagram

Influencer and celebrity marketing have exploded in India. By 2025, brands are pouring about a quarter of their marketing budgets into influencers and creators. According to industry reports, the Indian influencer market was about ₹3,600 crore in 2024 and is set to grow roughly 25% in 2026. Consumers trust these voices: Kantar finds that 67% of Indians trust influencers more than traditional ads. Instagram is a core platform in this growth. With over 400 million users in India and strong engagement tools like Reels and Stories, it’s become the go-to place for celebrity campaigns. Instagram itself noted that homegrown viral moments – from cricket mania to local memes – kept Indians scrolling. Brands have used Instagram in creative ways to make campaigns go viral.
