Talkin’ ‘bout My Generation
How do millennials, the mid-twenty-to-late-thirty-something generation, see the world? Especially since the Covid-19 pandemic has upended our lives as consumers, professionals and citizens. And what do their parents, the Gen Xers, think of that?
This series, curated by Founding Fuel, explores inter-generational and inter-cultural trends in consumption, work, entertainment—and many other things that are changing.
What’s similar? What’s different?
The series includes a weekly column by a millennial on their generation. Their parent adds their observations. And every Saturday at 7.30 pm IST, the two chat on Facebook Live on these differences and similarities. The show hosts a range of speakers and points of view.
So far, we’ve hosted a few interesting parent-child pairs: Damodar Mall, CEO of Reliance Retail’s grocery division and his son and digital marketing consultant Harsh, based in New York City, Santosh Desai, author, columnist and CEO of Futurebrands and his daughter and startup entrepreneur Pallavi. We have many more lined up in the weeks ahead.
