Ranveer Allahbadia Says Influence Begins After People Listen
Ranveer Allahbadia spoke in Hyderabad about what it means to be influential online.
He said having many followers does not automatically mean someone has real influence.
Real influence means helping people change their thinking or take useful action.
He advised businesses to include young people in their digital marketing teams.
He said each online platform serves a different purpose, such as conversation, business networking or storytelling.
He believes podcasting is crowded, but longer conversations will still matter.
He also said new podcasters could start with short videos before making longer programs.
The event encouraged people to build trust and credibility instead of focusing only on online popularity.
Ranveer Allahbadia told a FLO Hyderabad audience that influence should be measured by its impact, not followers or views.
He urged businesses to consider creating youth-focused digital departments led by people familiar with changing platforms and online behavior.
Allahbadia described WhatsApp marketing as an emerging opportunity and outlined different roles for major social media platforms.
He said podcasting has become crowded but that talk shows and long-form conversations will remain relevant.
The session also addressed credibility, leadership, personal branding, quantum computing and the importance of creating lasting digital impact.

Seetha Reddy
Chairperson of FLO Hyderabad
“Influence today is no longer something that simply comes with a position or title. The digital world rewards speed, visibility and attention. But attention is not influence, and a large audience is not necessarily trust. The real challenge is to build relevance, credibility and staying power. Influence has to be built deliberately—through what we say, what we stand for and the conversations we create.”
