What happens when a generation raised on reels, told to hustle, and taught to be "woke" starts asking-why?

Young, Wired, and Not Woke is not your average self-help book, TED Talk, or borrowed-from-the-West advice manual.

It's a mirror held up to young India – funny, fearless, and unfiltered.

From mental health in the land of meditation, to gender identity in the birthplace of Ardhanarishvara, to social media that's more addictive than vaping, Rishabh dives deep into the issues Gen Z and Gen Alpha face today. With sharp insight, cultural context, and just the right amount of sarcasm, he unpacks topics that are often whispered about, scrolled past, or shouted over.

This is a conversation about the mind, meaning, money, morality, and everything in between. It's about stepping out of your echo chamber, questioning what the algorithm feeds you, and reclaiming your ability to think for yourself.

If you're young, raising someone young, or just tired of recycled opinions, this book is for you. Because in a world of filters and fast takes, sometimes the real rebellion... is reflection.
