Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 196 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 1 original post, its engagement rate beats 58% of tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 19K times each, and 1.04% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.727% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 120x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

Prioritizing inclusivity in healthcare should not come at the expense of patient harm. Yet, that’s exactly what is happening. I run a maternity-care hospital and public health non-profit in India. I founded them so that more Indian women would have access to Western-style ethical and evidence-based medicine. So I have been dismayed to watch the West abandon those principles. Link below.

- What is Nandan Nilekani's engagement rate on X?
- Nandan Nilekani (@NandanNilekani) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 1 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,605,067 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.007%, Nandan Nilekani sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NandanNilekani have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 58% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count, which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NandanNilekani post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.03 posts per day across the measured window.
