India’s leading discovery and collaboration platform for youth - Campus Diaries - launched GenX Nano Campus Diaries 25 Under 25, powered by VH1. The biggest hunt for India’s brightest stars under the age of twenty five, 25 Under 25® aims to become the definitive community of the most talented young gamechangers of India.

Pegged at 356 million, India has the world's largest youth population. With the establishment of the 25 Under 25® Awards program, Campus Diaries aims to celebrate their significant contribution to the Indian economy. “This program is not just about honoring  a new generation of leaders; it is also about shining a spotlight on the economic, social and community impact of India’s youth”, said Sumit Saurav, CEO Campus Diaries.

The 25 Under 25® Awards is the first formal recognition program that targets the Indian youth across four professional categories - science and tech, art and design, photography and writing. The finalists in each category will be selected by an esteemed panel of judges and mentors.

Noah Rosenberg (Founder, CEO, Chief Editor, Narratively), Appupen (Comic Creator and Artist, Graphic Novelist for Halalala) and Jessica Walsh (Designer, Art Director at Sagmeister and Walsh) are some of India’s leading industry and thought leaders who will mentor the rising stars. The program will culminate in the 25 Under 25® Summit in Bangalore, India.
