Questions

FAQ

Who can join?

Anyone in India with a public Instagram account switched to Creator or Business (free in Instagram settings). If you're under 18, you need a parent's permission to join.

I have very few followers. Can I still win?

Yes. You compete in your own division against accounts your size, and follower growth is scored as a percentage. Winners come from every division.

How is the winner decided?

Your Rumble Score: 60 points from follower growth, views, shares and saves, and posting every day, then up to 40 points from the Star panel for the top 100. No lucky draw.

What if I miss a day?

You can keep going. You lose that day's 2 showing-up points and that reel's views, but your other reels still count.

What happens if someone buys views or followers?

The platform flags sudden spikes and a person reviews every flag. Anyone caught buying engagement is disqualified without a refund.

Does Pro help me win?

No. Pro adds feedback, Ninad's editing kit and a live Q&A. Basic and Pro are scored exactly the same way.

Can I get a refund?

You can't get a refund once Day 1 lessons are released on 25 Oct.

When do winners get their prizes?

Winners are announced live on 1 Nov. Collab reels are shot between 2 and 15 Nov, and prizes are dispatched after the results.
