The famous video content application, TikTok, was being used by Indians to make good money, as they enticed their audience during the lockdown this year with engaging videos. TikTok videos were shared within the application, and other multiple channels like Instagram, Facebook, and even Twitter! Sadly, The Government of India banned the app earlier this year which led to a lot of these influencers losing their daily source of income. Luckily enough, The Influencer Marketing Centre curated a list of the 15 most influential TikTokers this season of which 4 individuals are Indians! Who are these famous people? Let’s have a look.
