Popular Indian YouTuber, actor, and digital creator Prajakta Koli has made India proud by being featured in TIME Magazine’s first-ever TIME100 Creators List. The list celebrates the most influential and impactful digital creators in the world, and Prajakta is the only Indian to make the cut.
What Is the TIME100 Creators List?
TIME Magazine, known for its famous TIME100 list that honors the most influential people globally, launched a new version in 2024 called the TIME100 Creators List. This list shines a spotlight on digital creators who are shaping the internet and culture in unique and powerful ways.
Alongside Prajakta Koli, the list includes well-known names like Jay Shetty (Indian-origin British author and podcast host), Charli D’Amelio (TikTok star), Marques Brownlee (tech YouTuber), and many more.
Why Prajakta Stands Out
Prajakta, who goes by the online name “MostlySane,” has over 7 million subscribers on YouTube and around 8 million followers on Instagram. Known for her relatable comedy, real-life stories, and social impact content, she’s been entertaining and inspiring people for nearly a decade.
Her ability to mix humor with heart, and fun with purpose, has helped her build a strong and loyal fan base not just in India but globally.
Prajakta Koli The Only Indian on the List
This recognition is even more special because Prajakta is the only Indian-born creator on the TIME100 Creators list. She’s featured under the Entertainment category, alongside international creators like Taylor Frankie Paul, Heidi Wong, and Taylen Biggs.
In her reaction to the news, Prajakta shared,
“Being recognised as the first Indian creator on TIME’s inaugural TIME100 Creators List is both humbling and incredibly meaningful.”
She added that this milestone reflects the power of authentic storytelling and the responsibility that comes with a large platform.
More Than Just a Content Creator
Prajakta started her YouTube channel in 2015, creating comedy sketches that instantly connected with young Indians. But she didn’t stop there.
In 2020, she made her acting debut with a short film called Khayali Pulao, and later starred in the Netflix series Mismatched, where she plays Dimple Ahuja—a role that has become a fan favorite. She has also appeared in Bollywood films like Jugjugg Jeeyo and Neeyat.
Beyond entertainment, Prajakta is also known for her activism, especially in areas like education, climate change, and mental health. She believes that digital creators have a unique chance to bring about positive change.
A Proud Moment for Indian Creators
Being featured on the TIME100 Creators list is a big achievement, not just for Prajakta but for all Indian digital creators. It proves that Indian voices are being heard and respected on global platforms. With her hard work, humor, and heart, Prajakta Koli continues to inspire millions—and now, she has the global recognition to match.
