abstract
Generation z (1995-2010) is becoming employed at a time of economic transformation, rapid digitalization, and new conceptions of work-life balance. According to recent research in India, there are quite a number in this generation who are fatigued, dissatisfied with their working life, and cannot distinguish between work and their personal lives. Meanwhile, others are devising new coping mechanisms - clarifying boundaries, attending to their mental well-being, seeking work with a sense of purpose. This paper, examine the reasons behind why Indian Gen Z are feeling burnt out, how they demonstrate their daily experience in the modern Indian workplace as well as the ways they are seeking to avoid it.
