Before

Where it all started.

Three years ago, Shreya wrote in her diary that she would have 10K followers. She didn't believe it even 1%, she says. She just wrote it down. Every New Year she journaled the same goal, and through 2023, 2024 and 2025 nothing changed.

She also didn't like her own voice. She was shy, and she spent whole days on a single reel, recording it again and again before she could post. When she joined 100x Engine she had 80 followers and, in her words, zero belief and zero idea how to make content. She just knew she wanted to help people find calm in the chaos, and she wanted to give it her 100%.

She found Shivansh's account through a business school she had been selected for, where Shivansh had also been. When that didn't go ahead, she saw his YouTube video about 100x Engine. She says a one or two minute video was enough to convince her.

What changed

What made the difference.

1

Finding her voice

Early on, most of her reels had no voice at all. Sanket told her that her voice was good and that she should use it more, because it has more impact. She started recording with her voice. Today people comment that her voice is divine and should be on YouTube too. "I didn't know this was possible," she says.

2

Trying formats until one fit

She tried a conversation format, then talking head videos, then reels on the psychology of film characters. Some helped people, but she felt something was still missing. Then a reel saying Sita was never the symbol of sacrifice hit, and so did one on Parvati. She saw that her way of thinking was different, and that it could help people.

3

Choosing to be herself

Spirituality was not the content she had planned, and for two or three months she was confused about which path to take. In April she sat with Shivansh, then with herself, and decided: "I will be authentically myself." She now writes whatever comes to her from Krishna, Ram and the Bhagavad Gita, with the depth she was missing. Within three months, she crossed 10K.

4

Support that kept her going

She says the biggest benefit was the support in finding her voice. The second was belief. If she had been alone, she says, she might have doubted herself and given up. In the last three months her goal was clear, and Sanket's sessions on hooks and Arushi's feedback helped her a lot.

Results

Where things stand now.

Shreya went from 80 followers to over 10K in about a year. On the morning of the interview she was at about 9.8K. By the time she opened the app at the temple, she had crossed 10.1K.

Her reels now start real conversations. She questions beliefs like "good people can't have money", and people tell her a single video shifted their whole perspective. Her latest reel, on wealth versus Lakshmi, brought her the most followers so far, and people keep sending her questions. Her inbox and comments are full of people praising her voice.

Brands have started to reach out. Some offers were barter and some paid around ₹4,000, and she signed up. Her younger sister, who is starting her own content, is now inspired too.

She now posts three reels a week and about two stories a day, alongside her job. She is planning workshops and a course of her own, and her first Instagram live with Shivansh.

These are Shreya's own numbers, shared with permission. Results depend on each member's effort, niche and starting point.
