Instagram is no stranger to trends, but the rise of AI-generated influencers is quickly becoming one of the platform’s most talked-about shifts. From curated fashion shoots to lifestyle reels, these digital personalities are now blending seamlessly into everyday scrolling, especially in India.
Unlike human creators, AI influencers are digitally created personas managed by teams or brands. They don’t age, don’t make mistakes, and can be tailored to fit any aesthetic or campaign, making them increasingly attractive to brands looking for consistency and creative flexibility.
One of the most prominent examples is Naina Avtr, often recognised as India’s first AI influencer. Created in 2022, she presents herself as a 22-year-old based in Mumbai, sharing content around fashion, fitness, travel and trending reels. With brand collaborations and a growing follower base, her profile closely mirrors that of a typical lifestyle creator.
