Influencers like age 33 Sharanya Iyer, a popular travel content creator, must invest significantly in high-quality equipment, styling, and picturesque locations, with expenses sometimes running into lakhs of rupees
In 2024, Sharanya took this to another level, spending a staggering INR 50 lakh on travelling, marking a sharp contrast to her earlier habit of saving obsessively. With over half a million followers on Instagram, she dedicated much of her budget to globetrotting.

In her personal reflection, Sharanya admitted she feels confused, having grown up in Bombay and Madras. She noted that Bombay taught her the importance of slowing down, while Madras balanced that with its bustling, fast-paced life. Over the years, she developed a vivid imagination, constantly daydreaming about running a successful blog. However, life’s demands kept her from pursuing this dream, and she found herself caught in routine until a recent awakening inspired her to take action.
