Social Currency is an Indian Netflix series
The show sees eight popular influencers moving into a luxury villa for three weeks, where they're quickly told they have to abandon their phones and their followers so they can be sent out into the real world.
Inside, they were given fresh devices and accounts, with zero followers, and they'll be heading out into the world to take on all manner of trials whilst trying to rebuild their online presence. Only one of them will be crowned "Top Influencer" and walk away with the grand prize of 5 million rupees.
Here's just a little bit more info about the Social Currency cast

Singer Bhavin is the contestant with the biggest following as he headed into the Social Currency villa. In the trailer, he says "my life's belief is that God has sent me to win people's hearts", so he'll definitely be looking to build up that new following quick!
