435. To Be a Millennial

The world changes, life is hard. That’s not news.

But are millennials uniquely misunderstood, or simply the first generation to document their own confusion so thoroughly?

Deepika Arwind, author of Good Arguments, and AM Gautam, author of Indian Millennials, write from opposite ends of the same experience. One through fiction, the other through reportage. Both millennial. Both wrestling with power dynamics, divided loyalties, and what courage looks like when you have one foot in the old world and one inching towards the future.

This conversation, moderated by Arundhati Sridhar, is not about generational angst. It is about the structures we inherit and the space we carve out anyway.

Readings. Insights. The occasional uncomfortable truth.

In this episode of BIC Talks, Deepika Arwind and A.M Gautam will be in conversation with Arundhati Sridhar. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in March 2026.
