Top 10 Indian Memers on Twitter

Vir Das does not need an introduction, and yet somehow his story keeps getting more impressive with every passing year. He is India’s most globally recognised comedian, a Bollywood actor, world-class stand-up, and a wit so sharp it could cut glass, and his Twitter presence is very much an extension of that. His tweets carry the same observational intelligence that has made him beloved on stage and screen alike. He first became famous in India through films like Go Goa Gone, Delhi Belly, and Badmash Company, before making his international mark with the Netflix special Abroad Understanding. In 2023, he became the first Indian comedian to win an International Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series, taking home the honour for his Netflix special Vir Das: Landing, and the following year, he hosted the International Emmy Awards ceremony itself. His latest Netflix special, Fool Volume, released in 2025, was shot across three continents, New York, London, and Delhi, and showcased his ability to weave personal storytelling, sharp political observation, and laugh-out-loud comedy into something that feels wholly cinematic. He also returned to Bollywood in the long-awaited Go Goa Gone 2 in 2025. On X, he remains exactly who he is everywhere else, astute, funny, and impossible to ignore.

There are few Twitter accounts that have mastered the art of being funny about serious things quite as well as Ramesh Srivats has. A veteran of the Indian digital comedy scene, he is the mind behind beloved personas including Pagal Patrakar and the unforgettable Fake Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a character whose arrogant, I-Am-God sense of humour managed to poke fun at the world of finance while being screamingly funny about it. His tweets are a consistent blend of sarcasm, satire, and current affairs commentary, and the fact that they are both amusing and meaningfully sharp is precisely what keeps people coming back. Cricket on Twitter, according to him, is “half ignorant and trolling, half insightful and clever”, which is probably the most accurate description of live sports tweeting anyone has written. His ability to skewer government schemes, media absurdity, and everyday Indian life without losing the comedy is a skill set that very few on the platform can claim.

One of India’s earliest and most consistently funny stand-up comedians, Sorabh Pant has been in the game long enough to have earned his reputation multiple times over. He cut his teeth working alongside Vir Das before co-founding East India Comedy, a troupe that helped shape the Indian stand-up circuit as it exists today, performing at clubs across the country and internationally. His comedy territory, politics, cricket, entertainment, and the thoroughly ridiculous aspects of everyday Indian life, gives him virtually unlimited material, and he uses it well. A satirist at heart, his ability to take a sharp swing at power without losing the fun is something his audience genuinely loves him for. His Twitter Spaces are where he often gets into the real-time banter and topical commentary that his followers show up for, and his panel performances on shows like Engineering Colleges: Stupid WhatsApp Rules and Uncles continue to surface and get shared long after their original air dates. If you have not followed him already, now is a good time to fix that.

Abhishek Asthana, better known to the internet as @GabbbarSingh, is the kind of Twitter account that makes you feel like you are reading the private thoughts of someone who has seen through absolutely everything, and still finds it hilarious. He is a co-founder of JoinHoodApp and the creative force behind GingerMonkeyIN, so he is no stranger to building things with genuine substance. But it is his Twitter that has built him a distinct identity. He is not the kind of creator who pushes products or chases trends; his feed is a rolling stream of observations, opinions, and sarcasm delivered in that specific tone that sits somewhere between “your funniest friend” and “the person at the table who says out loud what everyone else was thinking.” Whether he is dissecting the absurdity of fitness influencer culture, poking holes in financial advice, or commenting on the particular brand of performance that Indian social media has perfected, he keeps it sharp, real, and very funny.

Jose Covaco, known across the internet as Hoezaay, is the kind of creator who makes everything he touches feel effortlessly funny and oddly personal at the same time. A self-described game collector with a love for the absurd, his content covers more ground than most people can keep track of, Vine-style sketches, the iconic Misheard Lyrics series, the KaanMasti podcast, gaming content, fatherhood content, and his notoriously heated takes on whatever the internet is talking about that week. His seven-minute formats, which feel long by the standards of short-form comedy but are over far too quickly, are their own genre: insane, chaotic, strangely brilliant, and always very Hoezaay. On Twitter, he is every bit as unpredictable and entertaining, and his sarcasm lands particularly well on a platform built for exactly that. If you are having a genuinely low day and need something that will make you laugh without requiring you to think too hard about why, he is your answer.

Aditi Mittal’s own description of herself, comedian, actor, writer, and barely managing any one of them competently, is itself a perfect example of what makes her so good at all three. She is one of the first women to do professional stand-up comedy in India, and what she has built since then is a genuinely global career. She has two stand-up specials on Netflix, Things They Wouldn’t Let Me Say and Girl Meets Mic, as well as Mother of Invention on Amazon Prime, and her own show on BBC Radio 4, A Beginner’s Guide to India. In 2024, she appeared in James May’s Our Man in India, and more recently, she collaborated with the Financial Times on In That Top, a short film that manages to be simultaneously about fashion, capitalism, and identity in a way that only Aditi Mittal could pull off. She has performed her comedy across Switzerland, Nigeria, Australia, and beyond, and live dates continue to be listed internationally through 2025. Beyond performing, she has founded two social initiatives, Crash Burn Learn and Punchlines and Powersuits, which use comedy as a tool to build confidence in anxious teenagers and working women. Her jokes have always been sharp, culturally specific, and unafraid to say the things that most people leave unsaid. On Twitter, she is just as fearless, and just as funny.
