Let us be honest about something. The happiness of cancelled plans is not new. But what is new is that people are no longer pretending to be sad about it. Indians, especially urban millennials and Gen Z, are openly choosing nights in over nights out. Not because they are broke or antisocial. Because they genuinely want to.
If you have felt this recently, you are not alone. You are actually part of a very large, very quiet, and very fast-growing economic movement. India’s homebody economy is real. It has numbers behind it. And it is only getting bigger.
