Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently surpassed 100 million followers on Instagram, significantly outpacing US President Donald Trump and becoming the first politician and global leader to achieve this remarkable milestone.
Where Do Other World Leaders Rank?
US President Donald Trump currently occupies the second spot with 43.2 million followers on Instagram. However, Trump largely communicates through his own social media platform, Truth Social, where he shares official statements and responses.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s massive follower base not only places him at the top individually but also exceeds the combined Instagram following of several other prominent global leaders. These include:
-
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto – 15 million followers
-
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – 14.4 million followers
-
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – 11.6 million followers
-
Argentine President Javier Milei – 6.4 million followers
Modi’s Growing Digital Influence
Highlighting his growing international appeal, PM Modi’s Instagram journey began in 2014 when he created his account. Since then, his follower count has steadily surged, transforming his profile into one of the most dynamic and widely followed digital platforms among world leaders. Over the past decade, his account has evolved into a highly engaging space, featuring updates on governance, diplomacy, cultural moments, and personal insights. According to officials cited by news agency PTI, the platform has consistently attracted global audiences, reinforcing Modi’s status as a leading digital figure on the world stage.
