India's Gen Z Shows Growing Stock Market Participation Amid Economic ChallengesPreviousNext

India's Gen Z is increasingly active in the stock market, with investors under 30 now comprising nearly 40% of the total base, reflecting a shift toward riskier financial engagement amid economic challenges. While some young people are visible in protests and public discourse, many others face precarious employment, uncertain futures, and limited access to stable jobs despite educational opportunities. This generation shares digital connectivity but experiences diverse economic realities, highlighting both their aspirations and vulnerabilities.
