India is home to one of the largest youth populations in the world, and this generation has access to immense opportunities, especially with the rise of digital platforms. Yet, many young people hesitate to take the plunge into independent work, despite the success stories of entrepreneurs who have built million-dollar businesses using social media.

Why Indian Youth Hesitate to Work Independently and How Social Media Could Change That

There are several reasons why Indian youth may hesitate to work independently and prefer scrolling social media:

1. Risk Aversion: Many fear financial instability, lack of security, and uncertainty of starting a business.

2. Cultural Expectations: Traditional career paths like government or corporate jobs are often encouraged by families.

3. Lack of Awareness: Despite seeing success stories, many are unaware of how to utilize social media platforms for business.

4. Limited Investors: Investors tend to focus on established sectors, leaving many young entrepreneurs without funding.

5. Small Business Struggles: SMEs may struggle due to lack of finance, making it hard to attract or retain talent.
