Is the Influencer Book of World Records Genuine? Reviews, Verification & How to Check a Record (2026)

Short answer: the Influencer Book of World Records (IBWR) is a Jaipur-based world record registry, an initiative of Brain Skool, that reviews evidence before it registers any record. Every approved record gets its own public page on this website, so anyone can check it. As of November 2026 the registry lists 530 published records across 17 categories, including 361 records by young achievers and kids, from applicants in 6 countries. The online application form has no payment step; a claim is reviewed in about 7 to 10 working days after the documents arrive, and the paid Record Holder's Pack is ordered only after approval. IBWR is its own registry with its own rules: it is not the same organisation as Guinness World Records or any other record book.

If you are a parent, teacher, academy or creator reading reviews and wondering whether to apply, this guide is written for you. It explains, honestly and in detail, how IBWR works, how claims are verified, how to check that a record or certificate is genuine, what an IBWR record is (and is not) worth, the questions people most often ask before they apply, and how to read reviews of any record book with a critical eye. Everything here is based on the published process on this website and the records you can look up yourself.

What is the Influencer Book of World Records?

The Influencer Book of World Records is a registry that documents extraordinary talents and achievements and gives them a permanent public record. The idea is simple: many remarkable achievements, especially by children, never get formal recognition because traditional record books focus on a narrow set of physical "biggest, fastest, longest" records. IBWR also recognises achievements in learning, memory, the arts, social impact, wellness, literature and more, and it gives special attention to young achievers.

IBWR describes its mission in the words of its Chief Editor, Jayesh Bhatt: to uncover and celebrate remarkable talents and provide a platform where exceptional achievements can shine, with a commitment to authenticity. In practice, that means three things: a written application, evidence that is reviewed before anything is published, and a public record page for every approved claim.

IBWR is an initiative of Brain Skool, a Jaipur education organisation that runs abacus, memory science, coding and other skill programmes for children. That link explains why so many IBWR records involve learning and memory skills, and why the registry pays particular attention to children's achievements.

What IBWR is not

• It is not Guinness World Records, the India Book of Records or any other record book. Each registry sets its own categories, rules and evidence standards. A record registered with IBWR is recognised by IBWR.
• It is not a government body, and an IBWR certificate is not a government certificate or an academic qualification.
• It is not an automatic "pay and get a certificate" service. A claim has to be described, supported with evidence and reviewed first. Claims can be asked for more evidence, changed or declined.

Being clear about this is the most honest way to answer the question "is it genuine?". IBWR is a genuine registry that does what it says: it reviews claims and records approved achievements publicly. What a record means to you depends on how you use it, which we cover below.

Is the Influencer Book of World Records genuine?

When people search "Influencer Book of World Records reviews" or "is IBWR real", they usually want to know three things: does the organisation exist, does it actually verify claims, and will the record be visible and checkable afterwards. Here is how you can answer each one yourself, without relying on anyone's word.

What to check	How to check it
Is there a real, reachable organisation?	A registered office address in Jaipur with a Google Maps listing, two phone numbers, WhatsApp and email on the contact page
Is there a published process?	The eight-step process is written out on the Set a Record page, including timelines
Are records public and searchable?	Every approved record has its own page; you can search by name, record or category on the records page
Are there real record holders you can look up?	Yes. Examples are linked later in this guide, and hundreds more are in the categories
Are there live events and judges?	See media and events, the gallery, videos and the adjudicators page
Is money asked for before review?	No. The application form has no payment step; the pack is ordered only after approval

That last point is one of the most useful tests for any record organisation. A registry that asks for full payment before it has looked at your evidence is selling a certificate, not reviewing a record.

How IBWR verifies a world record: the 8-step process

Every claim goes through the same written process. Here it is step by step, with what you should expect at each stage.

1. Submit the online application. Describe the record attempt in detail, with the tentative date, time and place. Tell the team if you want to invite a judge.
2. Wait for a response from the IBWR team. The team guides you on how to submit evidence. If you have asked for a judge, the event team contacts you.
3. Send all required documents. The team reviews the submission within 7 to 10 working days and contacts you if anything is missing.
4. Receive the decision by email. You are told whether the claim is approved.
5. Check the confirmation email. If approved, check the name, record title and details carefully and ask for corrections if needed.
6. Order the Record Holder's Pack. Processing and dispatch take 2 to 3 weeks after payment.
7. Send a photo with your pack. A high-quality photo of the record holder with the pack is used for documentation.
8. Your record entry is completed. The record is published and featured in the Influencer Book of World Records.

Notice the order: evidence and review come before anything is paid for or published. That is the heart of verification.

What evidence does IBWR look for?

The exact evidence depends on the record, and the team tells you what is needed after you apply. In general, a strong claim includes:

• Clear, continuous video of the full attempt, ideally without cuts, where the record holder and the activity are clearly visible.
• Proof of identity and age, such as a birth certificate for a child, because many records depend on the age at the time of the attempt.
• Witness statements from independent adults (for example a teacher, coach or local official) who watched the attempt.
• Measurements and timings with the method used, such as distance from a GPS app for a skating record or a visible stopwatch for a timed record.
• Photographs of the record holder, the setup and the result.

For a full checklist, read the world record evidence guide: video, witnesses and documents.

What happens if evidence is weak?

The team asks for more. That can feel slow, but it is a good sign: it means the registry is reviewing claims rather than approving everything. The most common reasons a claim needs more work are an edited or unclear video, missing age proof, a measurement without a method, or a title that claims more than the evidence shows. A claim can also be reworded to describe exactly what was achieved.

How to check if a world record or certificate is genuine

Whether you are a parent checking a classmate's record, a school verifying a student's achievement, or a journalist, the steps are the same.

1. Search the record holder's name on the records page or browse the right category.
2. Open the record page and compare the name, the record title, the category and the description with what you were told or shown.
3. Compare the certificate with the record page. The name and record title on a certificate should match the public record.
4. Ask the team if anything is unclear. Email info@influencerbookofworldrecords.com or WhatsApp +91 91664 90296 with the record holder's name and record title.

A record that cannot be found on this website, or a certificate whose details do not match the public page, should be checked with the team before you rely on it. Note that a recently approved record may take a short time to appear, because the entry is completed only after the photo with the pack is received (step 8).

Real IBWR record holders you can look up

The best evidence of how a registry works is its records. Here are a few published IBWR records across different ages and categories. Each link opens the public record page.

Record holder	Achievement
Puneet Singh Khalsa	A historic 10,000-kilometre roller-skating journey to the five sacred Takhats of Sikhism
Rajveer Gargelwar	Road inline skating: 20.86 km in 1 hour 44 minutes at 6 years of age
Adi Shankara Sakshi	Identifying the national flags of 195 countries
Reyansh Mahajan	Answering 100+ general knowledge questions in just over 3 minutes
Praman Vrushab M	Identifying 60 car models in 1 minute 15 seconds
Prayanksh Pranay Kamble	Reciting the powers of two up to 230
Sharvri Raj	Holding and waving the Indian national flag for 1 minute 26 seconds at 2 months and 9 days
Fathima Mina V	An inspiring young achiever with Down syndrome excelling in sports, arts and fashion

You will notice two patterns. First, many records are by children, often in memory, recognition and learning skills, which is why the kids records section is the largest. Second, the record titles are specific: a distance, a time, a number. Specific claims are easier to verify, and they are a sign of a careful review.

Record categories and how many records each has

Category	Published records
Young Achievers & Kids	361
Specialized and Unique Achievements	50
Academic & Educational Achievements	24
Arts & Entertainments	19
Mass Attempts	16
Social Impact & Community Service	14
Sports & Physical Prowess	12
Literature & Publishing	8
Media & Entertainment	8
Wellness, Fitness & Mind-Body Connection	6
Medical & Health Achievements	5
Culinary Arts & Agriculture; Science & Technology	2 each
Business, Entrepreneurship & Industry; Exploration, Travel & Tourism; Innovation & Creativity	1 each
Environmental & Natural World Engagement	0 so far

Counts are as of November 2026 and change as new records are published. Smaller categories are open opportunities: if your achievement fits one of them, there are fewer existing records to compare against.

How much does an IBWR record cost?

Submitting the online application does not ask for any payment. If your claim is approved, you order the Record Holder's Pack, and the team shares its current price at that stage. If you want an adjudicator to attend your attempt in person, that is quoted separately by the event team. For a full breakdown of what you pay for and when, read Influencer Book of World Records fees, certificate and Record Holder's Pack, or ask the team on WhatsApp for current prices.

A good rule for any registry: you should always know exactly what is included before you pay, and you should never have to pay to have your evidence looked at.

How to read Influencer Book of World Records reviews (or any record book's reviews)

Online reviews are useful, but reviews of record organisations are often emotional in both directions: delighted parents on one side, and on the other, people who expected something different from what a registry offers. Here is how to read them well.

Where to look

• The Google Maps business listing linked from the contact page, where record holders and families leave reviews.
• The record pages themselves, which show what was actually recognised.
• Media, events, photos and videos on the media and events, gallery and videos pages.
• People you know: schools and academies whose students hold records can tell you about their experience directly.

How to judge a review

• Specific beats vague. "My son's skating record took about two weeks after we sent the video" tells you more than "best ever" or "fake".
• Check what the complaint is about. Many negative reviews of any record book are about cost or about the record "not being Guinness". Those are questions about expectations, not about whether the registry exists or verifies claims.
• Look for a public record. If a reviewer says their record was approved, you can usually find it on the records page.
• Look at dates. Processes improve over time, and recent reviews describe the current process.

Red flags to watch for with any world record organisation

These warning signs apply to every registry, including this one. Use them to judge any offer you receive.

• Full payment demanded before any evidence is reviewed.
• No published process, no timelines and no clear list of evidence.
• No public, searchable record pages, so nobody can check a record later.
• No physical address or reachable phone number.
• Unsolicited messages saying "your child has been selected for a world record" when you never applied.
• Vague record titles with no number, time or measurable achievement.
• Pressure tactics such as "offer ends today".

If you ever receive a message that claims to be from IBWR and feels like this, check it with the team using the contact details on this website before you share documents or pay anything.

What is an IBWR record worth? An honest view

It is worth being clear about what an IBWR record gives you, so your expectations match reality.

What it can do

• Recognise real effort with a permanent public record page and a certificate, which many children and families value deeply.
• Motivate a child to keep practising a skill, whether memory, skating, art or general knowledge.
• Strengthen a portfolio for school achievements, competitions, social media and local media coverage.
• Help academies and coaches showcase what their students can do.
• Document community achievements such as mass attempts and social-impact work.

What it is not

• It is not a government certificate, a degree or a guaranteed admission advantage.
• It is not a Guinness World Records title, and it should not be presented as one.
• Its value in an application or interview depends on how clearly you explain the achievement behind it.

Presented honestly ("an IBWR-recognised record for identifying 195 national flags at age X"), a record is a strong, checkable achievement. Overclaimed ("world-famous Guinness-level record"), it invites doubt. The record is most valuable when the achievement behind it is real and specific, which is exactly what the review process checks.

IBWR compared with other record books: how to compare fairly

Every record book differs in scope, rules and evidence standards, and their processes change over time. Rather than ranking organisations, use these criteria to compare any of them, including IBWR:

Criterion	What to look for	IBWR
Published process	Clear steps and timelines	Yes, 8 steps on the Set a Record page
Evidence review	Evidence checked before approval	Yes, 7 to 10 working days after documents
Public record pages	Every record searchable online	Yes
Payment timing	After review and approval	Pack is ordered after approval
Children's records	Categories suited to young achievers	Yes, the largest category
Live judges	Option to have an adjudicator present	Yes, on request
Reachable team	Address, phone, email, WhatsApp	Yes, Jaipur office

Who should apply to IBWR, and who should not

A good fit

• Parents of babies, toddlers and children with a measurable, unusual skill (see world record ideas for kids and how to apply for a baby world record)
• Athletes with timed or distance achievements, such as skaters (see the skating world record guide)
• Schools, academies and organisations planning mass attempts or community events
• Artists, authors, wellness practitioners and professionals with documented, specific achievements

Probably not the right fit

• Anyone who specifically needs a Guinness World Records title
• Claims that cannot be filmed, measured or witnessed
• Attempts that are unsafe for the record holder or others; safety always comes first, and children's attempts must be age-appropriate

How to make your application strong

1. Make the claim specific. "Identified 120 animals in 2 minutes at 3 years 4 months" is much stronger than "knows many animals".
2. Film the full attempt in one take, in good light, with the record holder's face visible.
3. Show the measurement: a stopwatch in the frame, a GPS track, a counted list.
4. Include age proof for any age-based record.
5. Get two independent witnesses who are not family members, where possible.
6. Describe the attempt clearly in the form, with date, time and place.
7. Reply quickly when the team asks for more evidence.
8. Ask before you attempt if you are unsure the record is suitable; the team can guide you.

For the full step-by-step process, read how to apply for a world record in India. When you are ready, start the online application form.

What applying actually looks like: an example timeline

To make the process concrete, here is how a typical application for a child's memory record moves through the stages. Your own timeline will depend on how quickly you gather evidence and reply to the team.

When	What happens
Day 1	A parent fills in the online form: the child's name and date of birth, the record idea (for example, identifying national flags), and the planned date of the attempt.
Day 2 to 4	The IBWR team replies with evidence guidance: one continuous video, a birth certificate, and two witnesses who are not family members.
Week 2	The family records the attempt at home or school, with a stopwatch in view, and sends the video, age proof and witness details.
Week 3 to 4	The team reviews the evidence within 7 to 10 working days and may ask a follow-up question, for example to show the full set of flags used.
Week 4	The decision arrives by email. If approved, the parent checks the spelling of the child's name and the exact record title.
Week 4 to 7	The parent orders the Record Holder's Pack, which is processed and dispatched in 2 to 3 weeks after payment.
After delivery	The family sends a photo of the child with the pack, and the record page is completed and published.

In other words, a well-prepared application usually takes a few weeks from first form to published record, and most of that time is spent on evidence and delivery, not waiting.

For schools, academies and organisations: mass attempts and group records

The Mass Attempts and Social Impact & Community Service categories exist for groups. A school might attempt the largest number of students solving abacus sums together, an academy might run a group yoga or skating session, and an NGO might document a community drive. Group records need extra planning:

• Count participants carefully. Use a registration sheet with names and a clear method for counting people at the start and the end.
• Use more than one camera so the whole group is visible throughout, plus one camera on any timer or scoreboard.
• Appoint stewards who can confirm that every participant followed the rules.
• Consider inviting an adjudicator. For large public events, an official IBWR adjudicator on site makes verification simpler and adds to the occasion. Ask for this when you apply, because the event team needs time to plan.
• Plan for safety and consent. For children, have parental consent, adequate supervision, water and first aid.

A well-run group attempt is also a great community moment. Many schools use it for an annual day, sports day or a social cause, and the public record page becomes a permanent part of the school's story.

Five questions to ask before you apply to any record book

Whichever registry you choose, asking these questions first will save time and disappointment.

1. What exactly will be recognised? Ask how the record title will be worded, so it matches what you achieved.
2. What evidence do you need, and in what format? Getting this right before the attempt is far easier than re-filming later.
3. When do I pay, and for what? Payment should come after review, and you should know what the pack includes.
4. Where will the record be published? A public, searchable page is what lets others check your record in future.
5. Who can I contact if something goes wrong? A real address, phone number and email matter more than any advertisement.

IBWR answers all five on this website, and the team is happy to answer them again on WhatsApp or by email before you apply.
