Tariq Khatri Makes History: India's Digital Star Breaks Global Marketing Record

Tariq Mushtaq Khatri has made digital marketing history by executing one of the most cost-efficient influencer campaigns ever seen. Over a 90-day period, his Meta ad campaign reached unprecedented levels of performance, setting a new global standard for engagement and ROI.
This record-breaking achievement was officially revealed at a packed press conference at the Bombay Press Club on February 28, 2025, where marketing professionals and media witnessed India’s digital future unfold.
Campaign Results That Shocked the Industry
Khatri’s campaign spanned 183 ads across Meta platforms and delivered:
- 56.6 million views
- 25.7 million engagements
- 26 million reach
- 245.3% growth in reach
- An extraordinary 99% engagement rate
Beyond the scale of reach, what truly amazed industry insiders was the campaign’s affordability. With a total ad spend of just INR 417,420 (~USD 5,000), it delivered:
- Cost per engagement: INR 16.24 (~USD 0.19)
- Cost per million views: INR 7,370 (~USD 88)
Massive Public and Media Reaction
The digital world exploded with praise. While the Indian government has yet to issue an official statement, users across X (formerly Twitter), forums, and major outlets like India Today and Saamana quickly recognized the magnitude of the achievement. Over 150 Indian and international media outlets covered the story, including a feature by Yahoo Finance.
Outshining the Global Giants
