Prathamesh Kumbhare Over the past decade, Indian YouTuber Prajakta Koli has become one of the country’s most popular comedy creators. Since launching her channel @MostlySane in 2015, the 32-year-old has built a [following](https://www.youtube.com/@MostlySane "undefined") of 7.3 million on the platform—and 8.7 million additional on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/mostlysane/?hl=en "undefined")—thanks to her comedic sketches that playfully riff on Indian traditions and family dynamics. (One of her most popular YouTube [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIJY4Qv90jQ "undefined"), “Every Family Meal Ever,” has 6.5 million views.) Koli’s repertoire is expansive: she’s hosted _Pretty Fit_, a YouTube Originals series that puts her and her celebrity guests through rustic fitness challenges; she starred in _Mismatched,_ a Hindi-language coming-of-age series streaming on Netflix; and, earlier this year, published her debut novel, _Too Good to Be True_. An advocate for gender equality and climate action, Koli has partnered with First Lady Michelle Obama to champion girls’ education and was named India’s first youth climate champion by the country’s United Nations Development Programme. _Data and insights powered by #paid_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299164/prajakta-koli/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299164/prajakta-koli/"},"headline":"Prajakta Koli","datePublished":"2025-07-09T11:36:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:51:14.288Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299164/prajakta-koli/","keywords":["Social Media","list","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt758fbf3a887af477/6998c811d32e932368cd727e/TIME100-Creators-2025-Prajakta-Koli-042.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Shannon Carlin","jobTitle":"Carlin is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/shannon-carlin/"}],"creator":"Shannon Carlin","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt758fbf3a887af477/6998c811d32e932368cd727e/TIME100-Creators-2025-Prajakta-Koli-042.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299164/prajakta-koli/","name":"Prajakta Koli"}}]}] ```
