Bangladesh’s Gen Z-backed political push is facing a reality check after students who helped oust Sheikh Hasina formed a new party. Opinion polls indicate the NCP, aiming to contest all 300 seats, is far behind the BNP with only 6% support, while Jamaat-e-Islami could outperform expectations at 26%, signaling tough electoral odds.
A new study finds India’s crypto futures trading is being reshaped by younger and more diverse participants. Gen Z traders aged 18–25 account for 61% of futures traders, while women’s participation has risen 20% year over year. Trading is also getting more intense, with bigger trades and higher frequency, and Eastern India showing standout growth beyond metro hubs.

A new survey finds a sharp mismatch between what Gen Z wants and what many workplaces are prepared to deliver. Only 36% of HR leaders feel fully equipped to manage Gen Z talent. Gen Z is more focused on learning, progression, and work-life balance, while 49–59% say they leave for lack of growth. Even internship-to-job conversions lag.
Vedant Fashions, once a showstopper after its IPO, is seeing flat revenues as the wedding market cools and demand shifts. With Gen Z increasingly indifferent to traditional sherwanis, the brand’s signature appeal is losing lustre. The struggle highlights how consumer spending priorities are changing even for well-known ethnic wear players.
India’s IT sector is seeing a rise in replacement hiring as Gen Z professionals switch jobs faster. The churn is reshaping how firms recruit, onboard, train, and retain talent. In response, companies are leaning more on contractual roles and speeding up onboarding while investing in continuous reskilling to keep up with rapid workforce turnover.
Global capability centres in India are expanding rapidly, but recruitment is changing fast. Replacement hiring now makes up around 40% of hiring in Q4, pushed by Gen Z employees staying for shorter tenures. Companies are recalibrating to keep operations stable while growth continues. At the same time, demand for AI and platform engineering talent is rising, while talent shortages remain a major hurdle.
