Indore (Madhya Pradesh): 'The greatest sin is to think yourself weak,’ were the words of wisdom by Swami Vivekanand-- the greatest inspiration of all ages!
These words resonate the best with today’s youth, who are constantly seeking motivation, direction and a 'platform' to showcase their skills and finesse.
In that search, many discover their passion and then, find ways to turn their dreams into reality.
Ahilyanagri, the city of Indore, encapsulates several such stories, showing how its youth love to hustle and remain ‘unstoppable’ through thick and thin.
On the occasion of National Youth Day 2026, Free Press conversed with individuals who are adamant about balancing their profession and passion beyond boundaries.

Encouraging aspiring creators, he added, “Youth should explore content creation. It is a multi-billion-dollar market. Competition exists everywhere, but the more creative you are, the better your content becomes. This can also help take the country in a positive direction.”
