2 CEOs vs 2 Gen Zs | The Bridge S1E9: Is Corporate India addressing Gen Z’s MENTAL HEALTH at work?
Description
Is mental health just a buzzword for Gen Z or is it a genuine crisis?
In this episode of The Bridge, Shantanu leads a candid, cross-generational debate on one of the most misunderstood workplace questions today: Is mental health struggle real for Gen Z?
One side, the seasoned professionals, Revant Bhate (Co-Founder & CEO at Mosaic Wellness) and Kaushik Mukherjee (Co-founder & COO at SUGAR Cosmetics), question if the regular hustle is being mistaken for crisis.
While the Gen Z voices Vidit Dugar (Chief of Staff at Bombay Shaving Company) and Gauri Bansal (Strategy Manager, South Asia, Middle East, and Africa at Spotify) talk about the demand of a workplace built on empathy, trust, and emotional safety.
Together, they dive into:
- Do Gen Z employees expect too much emotional support at work?
- How much responsibility should founders bear to safeguard mental well-being?
- Do Western Startups “Do It Better”?
- And most critically: How real is stress today?
Both generations agree on one thing: behind every “tough boss” is a founder terrified of losing their team.
Watch now to hear both sides unpack what’s valid, what’s exaggerated, and how workplaces need to adapt.
