Best Influencer Marketing Agencies in Maharashtra: Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Beyond
Five influencer marketing agencies for brands in Maharashtra, with Kudozz first and four alternatives researched across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur, plus how campaigns differ across the state's markets.
Maharashtra has the deepest agency market in India, but most of it sits in one city. Mumbai is home to the country's advertising, media and film industries, while Pune, Nagpur, Nashik and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar each have their own economies and audiences. A brand looking for an influencer marketing agency in Maharashtra should first decide whether it is buying Mumbai reach, Marathi-language trust across the state, or both.
Quick answer
Five influencer marketing agencies brands in Maharashtra can consider are Kudozz, Chtrbox, Fame Keeda, Evonix and Addinfi. Kudozz is featured first and works with brands across India, including Maharashtra. Chtrbox and Fame Keeda are Mumbai-region agencies with national reach; Evonix is based in Pune and Addinfi has offices in Nagpur and Pune, which matters if your customers are outside Mumbai.
How we selected these agencies
For a state page, a list of five Mumbai agencies would miss most of Maharashtra. We looked for a genuine influencer or creator marketing service and a verifiable presence in the state, then chose alternatives that cover Mumbai, Pune and Vidarbha between them. Every detail below comes from the agency's own website, checked in September 2026. This is an editorial selection, not an official ranking.
- Service relevance: influencer or creator marketing is a listed service, not an occasional add-on
- Location relevance: an office or published presence in this market, checked on the agency's own site
- Creator capability: evidence of creator discovery, campaign management or a creator roster
- Public information: services and presence we could verify from official pages, recorded with the date checked
- Specialization: a distinct angle, such as regional languages, PR, performance or a platform, so the list offers real alternatives
5 influencer marketing agencies to consider in Maharashtra
1. Kudozz
Kudozz is an influencer marketing agency working with brands across India, and it plans Maharashtra campaigns market by market rather than treating the state as Mumbai. That means sourcing Marathi creators where the audience needs them, checking that a creator's followers actually live in Pune or Nagpur when those are the target markets, and timing launches around Ganeshotsav, Gudi Padwa and Diwali.
Every Kudozz shortlist is screened for audience fit, engagement quality and fake followers, and arrives with a written reason for each creator. Contracts set deliverables and usage rights before production, and reporting is broken down by creator against the KPI agreed at the start.
Services: influencer marketing strategy, creator discovery and matchmaking, influencer outreach and management, social media campaigns, product launch campaigns, UGC campaigns, brand ambassador programs, and campaign reporting.

Influencer marketing across Maharashtra's markets
Each major city behaves like a separate market, and the creator mix should follow that.
| Market | What drives it | Creator angle |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai and Thane | Finance, media, entertainment, retail, food and D2C brands | Dense creator supply across every category; English, Hindi and Marathi |
| Pune | IT and services, automotive manufacturing, higher education, a large student population | Student, tech-professional, food and lifestyle creators; Marathi and English |
| Nagpur and Vidarbha | Logistics and trade at the center of India, agriculture, oranges | Local Marathi and Hindi creators; fewer creators, so shortlists need care |
| Nashik | Grapes and wineries, pilgrimage and tourism, manufacturing | Food, travel and regional lifestyle creators |
| Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar | Industrial corridor and heritage tourism around Ajanta and Ellora | Travel and local creators, often Marathi-first |

Marathi creators and regional campaigns
Marathi-language creators carry trust that Hindi or English content often doesn't, particularly outside central Mumbai and for categories like food, home, finance and family products. For brands whose customers are spread across the state, a mix works well: a few Mumbai creators for reach, and Marathi creators in Pune, Nashik, Kolhapur or Nagpur for local credibility. See regional and vernacular influencer marketing for how to brief and measure language-specific creators.
Campaign timing in Maharashtra
- Gudi Padwa, the Marathi new year in spring, is a traditional buying day for gold, vehicles and homes
- Ganeshotsav, usually in August or September, is the state's biggest public festival and a crowded period for creator content
- Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali run into the main festive shopping window
- Monsoon, from June to September, shifts travel, food and fashion content in Mumbai and Pune
Creator rates and availability tighten before festivals, so book creators early. Our guide to seasonal influencer marketing in India covers planning around these windows.
What campaigns work well for Maharashtra brands
- Real estate launches in Mumbai, Thane and Pune, using creators whose audiences live near the project
- Restaurant and cafe openings with local food creators, tracked through footfall or bookings
- Fintech and BFSI campaigns from Mumbai-based companies, with explainer creators on YouTube
- Automotive and EV launches aimed at Pune's buyers
- D2C launches that start with Mumbai creators and extend to Marathi creators statewide

How much does influencer marketing cost in Maharashtra?
There is no Maharashtra rate card. Costs depend on creator tier, platform, format, usage rights, exclusivity and timing, and Mumbai's large creators tend to have the most negotiating power. Campaigns built around mid-tier and micro creators in Pune or Nagpur can stretch a budget further, as long as the audience match is checked. See influencer marketing costs in India for the factors in detail.
How to choose an agency in Maharashtra
- Ask which Maharashtra cities they have run campaigns in, beyond Mumbai
- Ask how they check a creator's audience location, not just where the creator lives
- Confirm they can source and brief Marathi creators if you need them
- Ask for creator fees and agency fees separately
- Check that usage rights and ASCI disclosure are in the contract and approval process

Conclusion
In Maharashtra the useful question is not which agency is biggest, but which one can reach your customers where they live. Shortlist a partner that covers your priority cities, ask for proof of Marathi creator work if you need it, and compare proposals on audience fit and reporting, not follower counts.
