We record lived experiences of young Indians through a mix of youth-centric surveys, citizen discourse analysis, and narrative-building.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

When something feels emotionally heavy, how many young people talk about it, and how many choose to keep themselves busy instead?

The second wave of Dil, Dosti, Data looks at how young Indians navigate emotional overwhelm, seek support and experience the challenges of opening up. Drawing on responses from 3,072 young people, the survey found that 38% turn to staying busy rather than talking about what hurts, while only 20% first reach out to someone they trust. Stories from the Youth Ki Awaaz community offer a closer look at what it means to carry things alone, and how difficult it can be to share what we feel.

In collaboration with Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies and Manotsava, Dil, Dosti, Data 2 brings together 23 findings on love, loneliness, friendship and family, exploring how digitally connected young Indians are navigating relationships and emotional support today.

Dating apps promise connection, but how safe do they actually feel to the people using them?
In our Yoot polls, more respondents said they don’t feel safe on dating apps than said they do. And when it comes to verification, a large majority felt identity checks should play at least some role in making these platforms safer.

We’re often told to “check in” on the people we care about. But knowing when to ask, what to say, and how to support someone can be harder than it sounds.

Our latest Vibe Check looks at how young people show up for their friends, what holds them back from asking “Are you really okay?”, and who carries the emotional weight in our relationships. While most respondents said they’re likely to speak up when a friend seems to be struggling, many also worry about overstepping, making things worse, or simply not knowing the right words.

Because sometimes caring is instinctive. Knowing what to do next isn’t.

A “Super El Niño” could mean hotter months, weaker monsoons and more uncertainty around water, work and everyday life.

But climate change is not only something young people are reading about. Many are already factoring it into decisions about where to live, what work to pursue, and what kind of future feels possible.
Which of your life choices has climate change already influenced?

Safety isn’t just about whether something happens to you. It shapes where you go, when you leave, who you travel with, and how freely you move through public space.

Amid the recent women-led protests, our latest Yoot polls asked young women what makes them feel unsafe, how often safety concerns change their choices, and what would make reporting systems feel more trustworthy.

What compromises have you had to make in your everyday life because of safety concerns?

What shapes young people’s career choices today: passion, purpose, or plain survival? Our latest Yoot poll points to a hard truth: financial security is shaping both what young people choose to do and what they feel forced to stay in. When the job market feels uncertain, career decisions stop being just about ambition and start becoming about stability, savings, and risk.

Do you feel like your career is something you chose freely, or something shaped by what feels financially possible right now? Tell us in the comments.

Online hate is no longer shocking in the way it once was, but that does not mean it has stopped hurting. Our latest Vibe Check looked at how young people respond to hate speech online, how often they encounter harassment, and how that shapes whether they feel safe speaking up at all.

How do you respond when you see hate online? And have you ever held back from sharing your views because you didn’t want the backlash? Tell us in the comments.

Politics doesn’t stay in Parliament or on our feeds. It shows up at dinner tables, in family WhatsApp groups, and in conversations with friends.

Our Yoot polls asked young people how often politics enters these spaces, how those conversations make them feel, and what actually shapes their political thinking.

Our Yoot polls suggest that traditional gender roles and double standards continue to shape how young Indians experience relationships, particularly when it comes to how women are judged for their dating choices.

Do you think dating has become more equal, or have old expectations simply found new forms? Tell us in the comments.

If AI can do the assignment, what are we actually teaching students to do?

Yash Budhwar writes about how AI is changing the incentives around learning. From “cognitive surrender” to a system already built around memorised, formula-shaped answers.
