A Selection of the 13 Most Disappointing Under 30: India Edition

Any resemblance to actual persons is entirely intentional.

Some time ago, The New Yorker did a piece that poked fun at the American media’s practice of publishing annual lists of severe overachievers. These lists are basically their version of Sharma ji ka ladka except there are 30 of them, with a token woman and PoC thrown in.

The New Yorker’s carefully curated selection shines a light on the demographic these lists ignore: losers and flakes, flighty Samanthas and ‘Dude-bro’ Jakes.

Since India is soon going to transcend satire altogether, we figured we’d do an Indian version while we still can.
