Youth today.
Nation builders tomorrow.
Yuva Gen Mission (YGM) is a youth-driven mission to address the issues facing India’s youth and to develop young people into the nation’s next builders. We’re open to every young Indian ready to raise real issues, engage in real dialogue, and build real outcomes, regardless of political or ideological background.

Turning ambition into outcomes.
We work through our members, young people across the country who raise the issues that matter to them, debate them, and push toward the right questions before jumping to answers. That work feeds directly into dialogue with policymakers, alongside hands-on support that turns ambition into real livelihoods and outcomes.
Mission
To convert youth ambition into real outcomes through direct policymaker dialogue and hands-on support that turns ambition into livelihoods, education access, and entrepreneurship.
Vision
A generation of Indian youth developed into the nation’s next builders with a real, organized voice in the decisions that shape their future. A long term platform, not a moment tied to any single news cycle.
From Issue to Impact.
Raise the Issue
Members across the country surface the problems that actually affect them.
Debate & Question
Open discussion and debate, pushing toward the right questions before jumping to answers.
Policy Dialogue
Those questions go directly into conversation with the policymakers who can act on them.
Hands-On Support
Alongside the dialogue, real support turning ambition into livelihoods and outcomes.
Four areas, one platform.
Over time, our work spans four areas, each shaped by our members, not announced from the top down.
Employment
Closing the gap between youth ambition and real, sustainable livelihoods.
Entrepreneurship
Helping young people turn ideas, big or small, into ventures that stand on their own.
Education
Better access, better tools, and a real voice for students in the system shaping their future.
Policy Participation
A direct, organized channel for youth voice into the policy decisions that shape all of the above.
Specific programs within each area will be announced as they’re built with members. This launch introduces the mission and framework, not individual program details.
“I built all of it by showing up every single day and solving one problem at a time. That’s why Yuva Gen Mission isn’t launching with a list of programs. It’s launching with a mission and a way of working.”
Founder, Yuva Gen Mission
My father drove a taxi. My mother worked as a tailor. I started my first company at 18 with no connections and no capital, just a belief that education shouldn’t depend on your pin code.
Today, CherriLearn – the EdTech company I founded, reaches over a lakh students across 8 states, many paying just ₹1 a day, learning in their own language. I’m also a director and shareholder in a ₹70 crore manufacturing company here in Mangaluru.
We’re open to every young Indian who wants to build, no matter what you believe politically. This isn’t a 30-day moment, it’s a long-term platform, of the youth, by the youth, for the youth.
