During the 'Udaan Naye Bharat Ki' session at the NDTV Yuva 2026 conference, entrepreneur Deepak Reddy addressed the challenges facing India's younger generation. Reddy, the founder of Bhaiya Innovations, argued that the country's progress depends on a shift in mindset, urging youth to adopt a proactive approach to national issues rather than focusing on grievances.

Reddy identified a significant internal conflict for many young professionals: the struggle to balance the need for a stable, traditional career path with the desire to pursue individual passions. He suggested that by choosing to become 'problem-solvers,' young people can bridge this gap, turning their personal interests into solutions that contribute to the broader development of the nation. The discussion framed this transition as a vital step for India's future, emphasizing that innovation and initiative are more valuable to the country's growth than passive criticism of existing systems.

While the talk focused on individual agency, it touched upon the broader societal expectation for youth to act as catalysts for change. Reddy’s comments reflect a growing discourse in Indian business circles regarding the role of the next generation in driving economic and social reform. The session aimed to inspire attendees to take risks and seek entrepreneurial solutions to the problems they observe in their daily lives, rather than waiting for external entities to provide answers.
