How to Make Content That Truly Connects with India’s Gen Z

Have you ever wondered why some content just clicks with young people while some completely misses the mark?

Welcome to the world of India’s Gen Z – the digital natives born roughly between 1997 and 2012. These are the trendsetters, meme-makers, YouTube watchers, Instagram lovers, and the heartbeat of today’s internet culture. If you’re a brand or content creator trying to grab their attention, you need to understand what they like, how they think, and where they hang out.

Why Gen Z in India Is Different

Before jumping into strategies, let’s get one thing straight—India’s Gen Z is unlike any generation before. They are:

• Tech-savvy: Most of them grew up with smartphones in hand.
• Curious and creative: They love experimenting and expressing themselves.
• Super social: They value connections—both online and offline.
• Cause-driven: They care about issues like the environment, equality, and mental health.
• Quick to judge—and to appreciate: You only get a few seconds to grab their attention.

So how do you create content for a generation like this?

Tips to Create Content That Gen Z Loves

1. Speak Their Language (Literally and Visually)

It doesn’t mean you have to know every trending slang word, but your content must feel like it was made for them—not at them. Use a mix of Hinglish, local dialects, emojis, memes, and pop culture references that resonate with their day-to-day life.

2. Keep It Short, Sweet, and Scroll-Worthy

Gen Z has grown up with short videos and snackable content. Think:

• Instagram Reels
• YouTube Shorts
• 30-second TikToks (well, when TikTok was still allowed!)

Don’t beat around the bush—grab attention in the first 3 seconds, or risk being scrolled past.

3. Be Real, Not Just Right

Gen Z can spot fake and pretentious content a mile away. They crave authenticity, not perfect filters. Show behind-the-scenes clips, share failures, go LIVE, and talk like a real person.

4. Use Stories to Connect Emotionally

Ever cried during a 1-minute ad? That’s the power of emotional storytelling. Gen Z values meaning over marketing. Share real customer stories, relatable youth struggles, or even your own journey as a creator or brand.

5. Collaborate with Influencers They Trust

Not every influencer has to have 1M+ followers. Sometimes, your best bet is a relatable college student making skits or a budding fashion vlogger showing off affordable looks. Micro-influencers often have deep, loyal followings.

6. Dive Deep Into Trends (But Stay on Brand)

Trends come and go fast. Be on platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram to catch them early. But don’t jump into a trend just to ride the wave—only do it if it fits your brand and message genuinely.

Hot Platforms Where India’s Gen Z Hangs Out

If you’re not where Gen Z spends time, your content may never be seen. Focus your efforts on:

• Instagram: For reels, stories, and aesthetic visual posts
• Snapchat: For raw, unfiltered moments and friend-driven content
• YouTube: For how-tos, vlogs, and infotainment
• Reddit: For discussions, opinions, and niche interests
• WhatsApp & Telegram Channels: For updates, memes, and content sharing

Real-World Example: A Desi Café That Got It Right

There’s a small café in Jaipur that saw its sales skyrocket after they made a few fun reels showing college students hanging out over funky shakes, jamming on the guitar, and vibing to trending Punjabi songs. They didn’t hire big influencers. All they did was capture real moments and posted them regularly. This is exactly what Gen Z enjoys—real people and real fun.
