In the recent years of his career, Gobinath has worked with networks such as Star Sports Tamil. And has partnered with Namma Pathys for a campaign to distribute free books.

Gobinath has a YouTube channel where he hosts his travel show and talks about his experiences. His videos are popular and are garnering a lot of views. 

We believe Gobinath can collaborate with any brand and turn it into gold!!

Another versatile Instagram Influencer in Chennai with acting, dancing and writing skills packed into one is Kumaran Thangarajan.

Even though Arthi’s Instagram feed is beautiful, to begin with, she has also collaborated with brands like GT holidays, TVS Emerald, Kkix Customs, Zero Gravity Photography, Nykaa and many others brands and has made it so much better. 

Brands with the idea of mixing fashion with travel would be ideal to collaborate with Arthi, mostly because we are in love with those gorgeous pictures!

 

 

 

 

This Tamil Influencer on Instagram is an actor, content creator and a yogini. And her social media feed is so beautifully created that it will instantly make you calm.

She has worked with brands like Lila Colours, Myntra, Honda Car India, Dyson India, Avira Diamonds, Peptide Therapy, Aquaguard and so many more!

Just head on over to this Instagram influencer’s feed to prepare your shopping list from several stores, right from Les vêtements to sling bags or purses and footwear. 

Convert your saree into a crop top and skirt. This gives a new life to something old and reduces wastage. Sustainable fashion for the win!
