Hearing every unique story of these millennial was an inspiration in itself, Mrs. Sohini Rajola shared all details what they found in this survey and mentioned that “There are way more similarities among millennial globally than differences as they all believe in the power of technology, information, and social media.”

I have followed panelist Himanshu Sehgal when his The Yellow Plate was featured on National Geographic, he actually pointed out the real good statement which I too believe in “ If you believe in Social media, social media will believe in you and millennials are global citizens because of social media.”

His inspiring story about how The yellow Plate came into existence was really a dream which he believed in and made it true.

Sohini Rajola proudly mentioned that because there is money moving for better, you will see an all-around improvement in education and health with positive changes, this is why Western Union helps to connect people and create more opportunities.

Karishma Mehta from Humans of Bombay was inspired by Humans of New York and shared how social media has power and how they have raised 6.5 lakhs in an hour using real videos and crowdfunding on social media for many causes. Some stories were really heart touching. 

Among all this sweetest journey of Le 15 Patisserie as Pooja discovered exquisite pastries in Paris and thought why they weren’t available in India and given us sweet tooth with Le 15 Patisserie.

Learning so much from them and knowing the fact that for the millennials, the most important traits to achieve global citizenship and eradicate social discrimination is ensuring that there is respect for diversity, adaptability and the ability to embrace other countries.
