All-Women Delegation • Age 40–45 • High on Confidence • Higher on Humor • Set in London & Manchester

Picture this;

A top Indian conglomerate has just acquired a well-known UK cosmetics & lifestyle brand—a darling of millennials in London, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. Suddenly, the Indian HQ realizes that over 68% of the UK staff are pure-bred Gen Z—tattoos, TikTok, trauma-bonding, therapy-speak, flexible hours, and the whole “don’t email me after 6 pm” aesthetic.

So what do they do?

They send their A-team of female HR and culture leaders from India, all aged between 40–45, battle-hardened in real life and corporate life, and wonderfully self-aware that:

“We were also the ‘young rebels’ once… just without Instagram reels and cancel culture.”

And now these ladies have landed in London for a 10-day ‘Gen Z Immersion Bootcamp’ — part training, part learning, part laughter, part nostalgia, all sass.

Where it happens:

• A chic meeting room in the UK head office during the day

• A cozy pub in Soho by evening

• A weekend trip to Bath for “culture exposure”

• And late-night chai in the hotel corridor when they don’t want to drink wine but still want to gossip

The Evening Scene - Where The Dos & Don’ts Come Alive

It’s Day 3.

A long day of PowerPoints, British trainers, HR analytics dashboards, and Gen-Z lingo (“ick”, “vibe check”, “silent quitting”) has left everyone’s heads spinning.

By 7 pm, the Indian team is in a pub that looks like a Harry Potter library—dim lights, wooden floors, faint jazz.

Someone orders pints, someone else orders virgin mojito, and one aunty-heart insists on masala chips because “yeh log normal namak kyun nahi daalte?”

And the nostalgia begins.

The Conversations (Where humor meets hard truth)

One woman says:

“Back in our day, we were also rebellious. We wore low-waist jeans. HR used to panic.”

Another laughs:

“Gen Z didn’t invent drama — we did. They just put it on social media.”

A third adds:

“But they’re also right, yaar… hum bhi burnout ho rahe the, par we never said it out loud.”

And as they laugh, the serious learning starts to sink in:

They realize that adapting to Gen Z is not weakness —

it’s strategic evolution.

They relate the Dos & Don’ts to their own younger years:

• They remember workplaces where transparency was rare → now Gen Z demands it.

• They recall bosses who ruled by fear → now Gen Z rejects it outright.

• They remember struggling for opportunities → now Gen Z asks for growth on Day 2.

• They recall office politics → Gen Z wants clarity and boundaries.

• They remember outdated systems → Gen Z wants fast, clean, mobile-first tools.

And suddenly everything clicks.
