Socialveins curated the 6 creators shown above from a selection pool of 6 relevant profiles. The purpose is to give brands a focused starting point for campaign research, not an unfiltered export of every available profile.

Among creators shown
Where valid data is available
This version of the shortlist currently leans towards macro creators, with 3 of the 6 displayed profiles falling into that audience tier. Macro creators are generally better suited to broader launches, brand-awareness campaigns and higher-reach content.
Local discovery, restaurant visits, product trials and recipe-led awareness.
Taste tests, venue walkthroughs, recipe reels, menu launches and regional food stories.
Prioritise local audience relevance, video views, saves, comment quality and previous restaurant or food-brand partnerships.
Editorial note: this curated list is intended for creator research and campaign planning. Inclusion does not guarantee availability or campaign performance. Statistics describe the creators currently displayed and should be revalidated before final selection.
Practical answers for brands evaluating the creators, audience mix, campaign fit and hiring process behind this shortlist.
Socialveins curated the 6 creators shown above from a selection pool of 6 relevant profiles. The shortlist considers category relevance, selected location and gender criteria where applicable, available audience size, recorded engagement signals, profile information and potential campaign usability. It is designed as a focused research shortlist rather than an exhaustive list of every matching profile.
Creators currently featured near the top of this curated shortlist include Damodaran Kothandaraman, Adharsh Kumar, Thrissur_foodstories. Their inclusion reflects the profile and performance information available for this particular list. Creator information can change, so Socialveins recommends revalidation before beginning a campaign.
The median audience size among the creators shown is approximately 1.9L followers. The median recorded engagement metric is 1.36%. The shortlist currently includes 2 micro, 3 macro, 1 mega. These figures describe the curated creators displayed on this page, not every profile in the broader selection pool.
This curated list is particularly relevant for local discovery, restaurant visits, product trials and recipe-led awareness. Suitable formats include taste tests, venue walkthroughs, recipe reels, menu launches and regional food stories. The final creator mix should depend on the brand objective, target customer, content requirement, budget and expected campaign outcome.
Prioritise local audience relevance, video views, saves, comment quality and previous restaurant or food-brand partnerships. Brands should also compare recent content consistency, typical video views, quality of audience comments, previous sponsored content and how naturally each creator can communicate the product. Strong content signals represented in the shortlist include Chef, Food, Food Blogger, Food And Restaurant Reviewer.
The Chennai selection uses the creator-location information currently available to Socialveins. A listed location does not guarantee that most followers are from the same city, so audience geography should be checked separately for local campaigns. The male selection uses the gender information available in creator profile data and is intended as a discovery and shortlisting signal.
This page provides a strong starting shortlist, but campaign readiness should still be confirmed. Before hiring, Socialveins recommends checking recent performance, audience geography, brand safety, commercial availability, content deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity and campaign timelines.
There is no single fixed price. Creator commercials depend on audience size, recent reach, content format, production effort, usage rights, exclusivity, campaign duration and turnaround time. Socialveins can revalidate selected creators and prepare a campaign-ready shortlist with current commercials and deliverables.
